PRIMA LASER TOOLS
LASER DRILLING makes it possible to machine both very small and precise holes in a variety of shapes and orientations in a wide variety of materials, including difficult-to-machine aerospace alloys. These holes can be tapered or shaped to enhance the amount and direction of air or liquid flowing through them. The drilling of holes in aerospace/turbine engine parts generally serves to enhance the cooling characteristics of the part. These holes can be drilled at extreme angles to the surface. Hundreds or thousands of cooling holes can be drilled in one part with a single set up in cylindrical or unusually shaped parts. A high power pulsed Nd:YAG laser is normally used, although a CO2 laser can be used with non-metallic parts. Processing is accomplished through either percussion drilling or trepanning. In the laser drilling process, high power density is accomplished by using a high power laser and a focused spot size of 0.05 mm (0.002") to 0.75 mm (0.030").
