A Series

Compact Laser Micromachining Tool

Compact Platform: Small footprint, free standing system
Stability: Granite frame with vibration isolation
Reliability: Diode pumped solid state laser (DPSS)
Functionality: Cimita software

Capable and compact, the A Series platform delivers impressive laser micromachining, capable of integrating nano or femtosecond pulsed lasers.

The most compact platform in the Oxford Lasers portfolio, the A Series was designed as a turnkey laser micromachining tool. Used primarily for process development and R&D, the A Series with its compact design is also suitable for small production applications. The A Series is typically used for process development, prototyping and pilot production but can be modified for numerous applications.

Please contact us for more information on the range of options and accessories available for the A Series.
