Discover the pinnacle of micro processing precision with Novanta’s Precession Elephant III (PE III) laser scan head — a laser beam delivery revolution for micro-drilling, tapering, and cutting applications. PE III delivers fast, precise, and consistent results for the most intricate, non-contact laser processing jobs. PE III is designed for micro-processing OEMs that need a straight-forward solution with unparalleled flexibility and performance for their customers’ most intricate applications.
The PRECESSION ELEPHANT III (PE III) is the perfect solution for micromachining applications where success is measured by precise, consistent results and throughput speeds that improve productivity. The PE III is designed for 24/7 high-precision laser drilling, cutting and micromachining applications.
PE III offers maximum flexibility for the drilling of innovative borehole-and edge geometries of differing conicity, taper angles and shapes, and allow the production of perfectly round, elliptical and custom-shaped micro holes. The PE III is available for green and infrared wavelength ranges.
Novanta ASC/InScript® controller and operating software package is recommended for optimal programming and control for PE III.
Industry leading high-speed galvos combined with ultra-light weight mirrors deliver the fastest beam positioning available for higher processing throughput.
With the smallest spot size of <8 µm, our proprietary optical design, featuring fused silica optics and digital electronics, guarantees the finest lines, sharpest corners, and precise tapers for complex geometries.
Integrated wave plates enable circular polarization of the laser beam, enabling ultrafast drilling of extremely precise holes, tapers, and shapes.
Catering to a diverse range of materials, the PE III is compatible with green and infrared wavelength ranges.
Seamlessly integrate with all major ultra-short, pulsed laser sources on the market, eliminating the complexities of integrating multiple types of laser scan heads.
Two powerful industrial cameras, one located at the entrance and the second located at the exit of the scan head, make setup swift and straightforward. Positioning for the work pieces and visual process monitoring is aided by a 4.92 megapixel vision camera positioned to enable faster, easier alignment, allowing you to get started quickly.
