Amada Weld Tech, a manufacturer of welding, marking, cutting, sealing and bonding equipment and systems, announces key enhancements to its Sigma LS Laser Micromachining Subsystem, centered on a new motorized beam delivery head and flexible vertical and horizontal mounting options. These upgrades reduce installation complications and give machine builders and system integrators more freedom to integrate femtosecond laser micromachining capabilities into complex production lines and dedicated work cells, all while maintaining high precision and process stability.
The Sigma LS Subsystem combines a femtosecond laser, beam delivery optics, scan head or cutting head, focus lens, camera and controller/software in a single, integration-ready package, reducing engineering time and risk for OEMs and system integrators. With femtosecond laser options from 5 W to 80 W and IR, green, or UV wavelength choices, users can configure the system to match demanding application and material requirements while achieving high-quality processing with minimal thermal effects.
At the core of the latest update is an optional motorized focusing upgrade that enables software-controlled focal point adjustment without manual intervention at the workpiece. By allowing the focal point to be positioned programmatically, the Sigma LS supports complex, multi-level feature geometries, varying material thicknesses and recipe-based process changes, helping manufacturers to increase throughput and reduce setup time.
To further simplify mechanical integration, the Sigma LS is now available in both vertical and horizontal orientations that can be specified to match process flows and machine designs. These flexible formats allow the subsystem to be mounted above or beside fixtures and processing zones, or integrated within larger systems, enclosures, and automated production lines, making it suitable for both new machine builds and retrofits to upgrade existing platforms with femtosecond laser capability.
