Multi-Axis Workhorses
The Preco ST1000 laser machines come with Preco's user-friendly AcuNav® user interface and are designed for multi-axis laser welding, heat treating, cladding, drilling and cutting of metallic components. These systems are designed for manual part loading, however automated part load/unload options can be integrated.
Applications
- Advanced Wound Care
- Body Sensors & Wearables
- Cosmetics – Hydrogel Face Masks
- Flexible Circuits
- Food Safety Devices
- Microfluidics
- Point-of-care, diagnostic test strips
The ST1000 features a two-position index table to allow small part load/unload to take place during the laser processing cycle resulting in high productivity.
