Gentle to the material, precise, and fast

In the patented LMJ technique, the processing is carried out by a water jet as thin as a hair through which high‐energy laser impulses are directed. The water cools the workpiece in the process and prevents damage to the material. This method is being used in ever more applications, and in particular for materials that are hard to process, such as hard metals, cubic boron nitride (CBN) or diamond as well as all types of ceramics. It is also just as suitable for fiber‐reinforced composites, titanium, cobalt and superalloys or semiconductor materials. Here are some current applications.
