Our ARGES PRECESSION ELEPHANT series are the leading scan heads for high-precision laser drilling, cutting and micromachining, specifically designed for demanding applications in mass production. The latest PRECESSION ELEPHANT 2 scan head version offers extra functionality, especially for process control and set-up. The PRECESSION ELEPHANT scan heads can be used with all ultra-short pulsed laser sources available on the market today.
Engineered by our ARGES brand, the PRECESSION ELEPHANT 2 is the perfect solution for precession applications. The heads are designed for high-precision laser drilling, cutting and micromachining applications and are used 24/7 in production facilities around the world. This scan head 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 PRECESSION ELEPHANT 2 is available for ultraviolet, green and two infrared wavelength ranges, each with two different focal lengths. All ARGES scan heads are compatible with ARGES ASC controllers and InScript® software.
