As a consequence of the short wavelength, low average power and high peak power, solid-state lasers give a small focussed spot and low heat input making these lasers excellent for increased accuracy.

If the material is very thin, for example shim material, the detail/tolerances is very high or the part is pre-machined and requires it to be held with some precision, then solid-state lasers are the answer.

Tube cutting of small diameters or pre-machined parts is especially suited to solid-state laser processing. This provides the extra accuracy required and prevents back wall damage.

Silicon wafers, ceramics and industrial diamonds are cut with our solid-state lasers, where other techniques are not economic.
