HYBRID LASER TECH
Hybrid Laser Tech, a division of Shearline Precision Engineering, manufactures and supplies precision laser cut ceramic substrates to a range of industries including microelectronics and medical devices. It uses the most advanced CO2 laser systems to profile, cut and scribe ceramic substrates, metals and other specialised materials, each with their own unique mechanical, electrical, thermal and bio-chemical properties.
HLT also works with R&D departments within the private sector and academia, and applications are extremely varied. Recent projects have included cutting novel alloys, shaping crystals grown under lab conditions, and cutting diverse materials such as leather, graphite, sapphire, ruby, FR4, PZT, silicon and Nitinol (memory metal). Parts are diamond lapped and aqueous cleaned ready for surface coating to help adhesion of circuits.
