When water guided laser technology was first introduced, it was almost exclusively applied to the processing of high‑cost materials such as diamond. As costs have decreased, water‑jet guided laser cutting has become a cost‑effective option for a growing range of materials. However, the initial consumption volume of these materials goes through a gradual growth phase. For this reason, customers are unlikely to make an immediate capital investment in purchasing the equipment.
Part of Machinable Materials
- Superhard Materials: Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) Diamond, Natural Diamond (ND), Cemented Carbide (WC), Polycrystalline Cubic Boron Nitride (PCBN)
- Metal: Contains almost all types of metal on the market
- Ceramics: Silicon carbide (SiC), aluminum nitride (AlN), alumina (Al2O3), zirconia (ZrO2), low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC)
- Composites: Silicon carbide matrix ceramic composites (CMC), carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRP)
OEM Services
As a relatively new technology, water guided laser equipment comes with a substantial price tag, and customers often need time to recognize its value.
In response to market demands, Watlaser Technology offers contract manufacturing services. This helps customers avoid large one‑time capital outlays while allowing them to gradually appreciate the true value of the equipment.
