UKP Micro Laser Cutting
We supply your ”m-precise miniaturized components
Laser microcutting with the ultrashort pulse laser
Miniaturized components are gaining importance in many industries. Meet this trend with our service: With laser microcutting, we manufacture your finest shapes and geometries on a contract basis, in foils and sheets from 10 to 500 ”m thick. Thanks to the ultrashort laser pulses, the material sublimates directly, eliminating the heat-affected zone (HAZ) at the cut edges.
Benefit from the latest laser technology without making any investment yourself.

Laser microcutting: These added values ââawait you at HAILTECâ
Good reasons for laser micro-cut components
precision
Micrometer-thin bridges, smallest spot diameters and repeatable and geometrically accurate cuts â these are enormous advantages of laser micro-cutting.
For maximum precision, we combine the cold femtosecond laser with cutting gas. This allows us to achieve the finest webs and burr-free , virtually right-angled cut edges with surface finishes down to Ra 0,2 ”m.
Optical measuring systems measure and monitor the quality of your microcomponents with an accuracy of +/-1 ”m.
Cost effectiveness
As a contract manufacturer for laser micromachining, we cut your parts with micrometer-precise fits and edges that require no post-processing. This is made possible by our special ultrashort pulse laser technology. When tolerances increase, laser precision cutting is the technology of choice.
The resulting laser cut is of comparable quality to wire EDM . The advantage of ultrashort pulse (USP) laser microcutting: the laser is significantly more economical than wire EDM, even for batch sizes as small as one.
Variety of materials
Because the ultrashort pulse laser cuts without thermal influence, you get high-quality and reproducible results â regardless of the material.
Even brittle and temperature-sensitive materials, as well as composites, can be easily processed using laser micro-cutting . For example, we cut nitinol, titanium, medical-grade stainless steels, and copper.

Frequently asked questions about UKP laser microcutting
Which products are suitable for microcutting with the USP laser?
Micro mountain bike next to a two-euro coin:
In UKP micro laser cutting (also called micro laser cutting or laser micro machining), the UKP laser creates miniaturized shapes with micrometer-fine ridges and cuts.
Product examples for medical technology
Application examples for UKP laser micro-cutting in medical technology include minimally invasive surgical instruments such as micro-scalpels and surgical needles, atomizing nozzles, bone saws, etc.
What added value does ultrashort pulse laser technology bring to laser micromachining?
Burr-free and ”m-precise
Cutting edge roughness up to Ra 0,2 ÎŒm
Almost right-angled cutting edges
What is the difference between remote laser cutting and traditional laser cutting?
Unlike other laser cutting processes such as flame cutting or fusion cutting (see FAQ on laser fine cutting), remote laser cutting does not use a nozzle, but rather a scanner. The laser beam is moved using a particularly dynamic galvanometer scanner. In combination with the ultrashort pulse laser, we achieve contour speeds of several meters per second.
When is laser remote cutting used?
Laser remote cutting, also known as sublimation cutting, is particularly suitable for complex geometries and contours. Burrs are minimal on the edges and the surface roughness is minimal.
Which materials are suitable for laser remote cutting?
Using sublimation or remote laser cutting, we can cut an enormously wide range of materials for you. Due to the high cutting speed, the heat-affected zone (HAZ) is very small. Therefore, even brittle, hard materials such as carbon can be cut very well.
