Solutions for the processing of LED ceramics

LEDs are revolutionizing much of the lighting technology today. They are more and more to be found in highperformance applications such as car headlights. In the near future, when long life and high efficiency are key criteria they will have replaced most other light sources.

Currently, existing production techniques are being adapted to meet the new demands of LED manufacturing, ensuring that the required quantities can be produced economically. Schmoll machine cooperates with the world's leading LED manufacturers. Our entry system for the production of LED technology was a drilling and milling machine for aluminum boards. For modern high-power LEDs neither the heat dissipation nor the thermal resistance of aluminum are sufficient. An alternative is high-performance ceramics Al203. Today, Schmoll laser system with Fiber or CO2 lasers, covers the spectrum of substrate for LED applications. Including, cutting and scribing with CO2 and solid-state lasers, as well as the microstructuring with UV and laser systems from Pico-second Lasers. Depending on the task quick deflection and cutting heads of different manufacturers can be integrated.

In order to optimize and not waste valuable production time, Schmoll puts special emphasis on the integration of the machine software, this has resulted in an additional increase in productivity.

Schmoll is completely independent with regard to the laser source, customized concepts and laser processes can be developed, increasing advantages in this highly competitive market.
