Micro-scale
machining,
big productivity
From the automotive engine components making cars more environmentally friendly to the delicate medical devices that save lives every day and beyond, miniaturized technology has made life better every day for billions of people around the globe. But to hold the tight tolerances required on these complex, micro-scale parts at the speed of serial production, manufacturers need truly innovative solutions that deliver precision, reliability and performance. All of which is available in a scalable, automation-ready package thanks to the ML-5.
The ML-5 serves as a flexible platform for pushing the limits of laser micromachining thanks to its robust machine construction and state-of-the-art laser technology. Low part-to-part variability and the highest surface quality ensure outstanding accuracy. In-machine measurement systems, an advanced human-machine interface and wide- ranging optional features – in addition to industry- leading laser technology – extend its functionality and allow for fast cycle times.
In short, the ML-5 makes optimal micromachining performance accessible for any shop.
Precision from ground up
A rock-solid foundation
You need a quality tool to make quality products. That’s why the ML-5 is built from the ground up for the precision and performance small-parts production demands. It starts with a granite base and a cooling system that supports the industry’s best motors, rails and encoders. It’s finished with the world’s most advanced laser machining technology to enable manufacturers to meet the production challenges of tomorrow.
Optimized thermal stability
The granite base construction provides a high degree of thermal and inertial stability thanks to a low thermal expansion coef- ficient and moving-mass-to-stationary-mass ratio. To further improve reliability and keep part-to-part variability to a mini- mum, fans, heat exchangers and cooling circuits throughout the machine stabilize temperatures for steady axis motion.
Dynamic performance
The high-resolution HEIDENHAIN glass scale encoder pro- vides ample feedback and super-precise machining. The 10 nm resolution and ±1 μm (±0.00004”) positional accuracy make it possible for shops to achieve true submicron repeatability for their small-part production.
Best-in-class linear axis accuracy
Mounted directly to the granite base for optimal stability, the linear motors and rails offer over 2G of peak acceleration along each axis of motion – without backlash, cogging or reversal errors. Paired with low-friction design for improved cycle times and performance, the linear axes of the ML-5 make accurate laser machining easy.
High-performance optics
The ML-5 has a high-precision beam delivery system for truly flawless laser drilling, cutting and micromachining application performance. Its fast z-axis movement and precise focus trans- lation is further improved with 5-axis motion that can control laser tapering for the highest surface quality. That means no HAZs, no burrs and no post-processing.
A wide range of operations
On-demand production flexibility
From noncircular drilling to high-precision contouring, the ML-5 can perform a wide range of operations in virtually any materials with competitive cycle times.
Endless application and material possibilities
The five-axis scan head and motion platform available on the ML-5 enables revolutionary new point-and-shoot or con- tinuous cutting strategies, all at highly competitive speeds. This, along with fully synchronized part and laser movement, enables extreme flexibility with hole shapes, such as features larger than the scan fields created through spinning lasers in tight circles as though it was an advanced end mill tool path. GF Machining Solutions’ scanning system, as well as its easy-to-use HMI, gives operators and engineers all the tools they need to produce the next generation of precision parts.
Futuristic technology, better ROI
GF Machining Solutions is committed to helping manufacturers keep total cost of ownership low through superior engineering, and the ML-5 is no exception. The space-saving machine enclosure is ideal for shops that need to make the most out of every square meter, while the inherent advantages of laser technology eliminate the need for most consumables. Easy access to powerful automation completes the package – and allows shops to reach the lowest possible cost per part for virtually any material.
Unparalleled precision and quality
Fast, reliable and secure production for precise parts
Small precision parts demand the highest degree of machining accuracy and quality. The speed of modern industry requires extraordinary agility and flexibility – and to keep up with the competition, production must be more reliable than ever. The ML-5 puts all of this within reach for any shop, along with the cutting-edge technology that will help manufacturers transform their capabilities and create the innovative parts of the future.
Precision from the ground up
You need a quality tool to make quality products. The ML-5 uses its robust granite structure as a platform for motors, encoders and cooling systems that provide stable, repeatable machining performance.
Lowest cost of ownership
Featuring an automation-ready, space-saving design that requires less consumables, the ML-5 is a truly cost-effective solution that can easily be integrated into any shop’s manu- facturing system.
Flexible control and exceptional quality
Ultrashort-pulse femtosecond laser technology and 5-axis scanning, as well as best-in-class accuracy and micron repeat- ability, give the ML-5 incredible part-processing versatility.
Expanded machine capabilities
From noncircular drilling to high-precision contouring, the ML-5 can perform a wide range of operations in virtually any materials with competitive cycle times.
Turnkey solution
In-machine touch probes, automated back doors and an advanced vision system, along with a comprehensive set of compatible automation options, make it simple to integrate the ML-5 into any production environment.
