TRANSPARENT METAL® - Laser Cutting of 1mm square holes by the dozen into a 10mm thick metal plate

Avonisys waterjet guided laser technology is applied to create intricate features of high aspect-ratio and highly dense patterns in metal and technical ceramic work pieces.
In this video we showcase cutting of 1x1mm square holes of 10mm deep that are spaced only 0.25mm apart. The result can be referred to as a transparent metal®.

Wow! Looks good!

[@LexaMoiseev]

Thanks for the detailed video! I saw a similar technology at Synova, but there is no AirJet. It would be interesting to look at the freeform cutting Alumina ceramic 99,6% with a thickness of 250um.

[@Avonisys]

Air-Jet makes quite a difference and allows to cut certain applications reliable. If you are interested in ceramic processing for a certain purpose please reach out to us via email through our website avonisys.com

[@huaahhggg9507]

I would LOVE to buy one of these little sample cuts.

[@Avonisys]

please reach out through our company email [e-mail] and we can make that happen

[@soulkeeper3828]

I would love to see it doo a 1.00 mm holes grid spaced 1.00 mm or if it is possible 1.00 mm holes spaced 0.25 mm, not squares but dots as small as 1 dot from the water laser nozzle to see how low in Millimeters you can go, maybe can you do a 0.10 mm or a 0.01 mm? or show a test in how low you can go until it fails? and how will it react to the material glass or stone?

[@Avonisys]

Glass cannot be cut with this process. Some stone type can. The main use is technical ceramics and metal processing

[@Demnus]

I wonder if there ever be some affordable garage grade device made available for hobbyists based on this technology?

[@gamerpaddy]

why shouldnt it? applied science allready made a "sort of" working water jet with diy parts coupling a high power laser (which is hard to get by itself..) into it shouldnt be a huge problem . a fiber laser source with barely enough power to even cut plastics costs, even from cheapo china & co. 2..3k$ and up. and you cant use a regular powerful co2 laser with this due to the wavelength-

[@whatevernamegoeshere3644]

@@gamerpaddy remember that even a reflection can blind you on both eyes sooner than you can close your eyes and it's a wavelength you don't see.

[@danijel124]

Why not? China will probably do this in a few years. And it will be avaliable on ebay or aliexpress :) At least I hope so because I would buy it

[@whatevernamegoeshere3644]

@@danijel124 more or less everything is available already. A large enough cnc that you can adapt this onto to make it work is about 1000$, a fiber laser is about the 500$ range and about 500$ more will go into the extra parts if we are not to generous. You can do it, but it will never be a home user gadget.

@@rigo6156 because 99% of them are cheap fucks that complain if something cost more than nothing, and when they hear its somewhere at 1/4 of a million dollar or something they start insulting and throw shit at eachother.

[@among-us-99999]

What’s the smallest hole diameter possible? can this be done with an even finer grid?

[@Avonisys]

Typically the smallest hole is 0.3mm. The aspect ratio typically can be up to 20:1 (for cutting kerfs up to 400:1). A finer square holes is also possible. The spacing can also be reduced still a bit. 0.15mm should be fine

[@yzk66]

Do you guys have any data of material loss during the cutting progress, I wonder if you could cut gold with it

[@Avonisys]

The cutting kerf is approx. 0.06mm only over the full depth. So with that you could calculate the material loss for a certain geometry

[@mer9706]

This thing bridges a huge gap between wire and waterjet! I bet it would be great for stator laminations because laser tends to overheat them, or so I've been told.

[@Avonisys]

There is a place for all these technologies. The WJL (Waterjet Laser) is typically applied for micro cutting and can do both conductive and non-conductive materials

[@slevinshafel9395]

woww awsome that 1:33 Can you make it in hexagon patern like honeycomb?

[@Avonisys]

Yes that is possible. We have other videos on our channel about exactly that

[@k3yb0ardb0y]

Can this system be adapted for five axis cutting?

[@Avonisys]

YES

[@user-mu8td4wy4i]

Will the cooling water refract the laser light?

[@Avonisys]

The laser is guided inside the waterjet via internal reflection. Please have a look at this larger scale experiment for an explanation of the working principle: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWLEqYttnbeApck

That would probably not be feasible in terms economics.

[@riosol8950]

Is that water or a laser?

[@user-jt5vm3mi1w]

laser waterjet

[@Avonisys]

Cutting is done by the laser. The laser focus spot is contained inside the waterjet and thus available over the entire laminar working length of the jet

[@YoutubeSupportServices]

I had to run the video in reverse so that your video graphic "UNCUT" made sense. OCD sucks almost as much as a bad joke!

Ra-Rz?

[@Avonisys]

Typically Ra 0.8 - 2.0 depending on material and cutting strategy

[@johnkubik8559]

The red laser is not cutting anything but the water jet is doing the job. The kind of click bait material I hate.

[@tady5720]

Most laser cutting devices will have a red laser just so you can see exactly where its cutting/gonna cut. Its also both a laser and water jet doing the work.

[@Avonisys]

The laser is doing the cutting. It is an Infrared laser so not visible to the human eye and only marginally for the camera. The red spot that you see before the cutting starts is a pilot LED that is used to illuminate the waterjet nozzle for its alignment to the laser beam.
