Automated laser drilling provides many benefits for factories and other industrial facilities that implement its processes. Included in these benefits are the following:

​

• Automation: The laser drilling process can work with different materials or perform many different types of drilling actions through machine process programming and robotic automation. This programming and reprogramming ability allows for efficient setup times and high-volume production opportunities.

​

• Variable Hole Shapes: Automated laser drilling has a high-degree of control and customizability. This means that this process can create many different hole shapes and even various types of angled holes.

​

• Flexibility: Automated laser drilling can quickly switch over to other materials as the need arises, such as when small batches or prototypes need to be drilled.

​

• Simultaneous Drilling: Automation permits some processes to drill several different features on the same workpiece concurrently.

​

• Non-contact: As a non-contact method, automated laser drilling causes virtually no wear on the materials it drills.

​

• Precision: The laser beam’s duration, heat output and beam intensity can be controlled with great exactness, which allows the process to repeatedly fabricate drilled pieces that perfectly match order demands.

​

• Diversity of Materials: This process can work many sorts of both metallic and nonmetallic materials. It works with many metals and with diamonds, including nonmetallic materials such as silicon, plastics and rubbers.

​

• Versatility: Typically, the laser drilling tool can fulfill other roles in the laser processing suite, such as laser cutting and laser welding. This allows a manufacturing factory to save time and money.
