Corning Laser Technologies - Laser Machining Systems

Corning’s technology offers distinct advantages over conventional cutting processes such as; low surface roughness, faster throughput and increased as-cut bend strength. The material is cut by disassociation rather than ablation leading to many additional benefits.

Unique Benefits

• Cuts: curved, straight, perpendicular, and angled lines
• Cuts extremely fast to maximize throughput
• Dramatically reduces micro-cracks
• Reduces steps for cover glass processing
• Reduces debris (clean room compatible processing)
• Cuts functional multi-layer stacks
• Cuts glass from <50µm up to 3.5mm thickness
• Eliminates fluids and tooling required in traditional processing methods

Smooth Edges
The ‘as-cut’ edge roughness may eliminate or reduce post-processing time and cost.

High Break Strength
The ‘as-cut’ edge demonstrates superior break strength over other laser and conventional glass cutting processes as measured by 3 & 4pt bend tests.

Multi-Layer Stacks
The systems can cut assembled stacks with and without air gaps, Cutting depths can be adjusted.

Applications

• Cutting of Glass Substrates
• Separation of Strengthened Glass
• Drilling in Glass Substrates
