EXTRAC HV™
Bold’s patented Vacuum Timesharing Technology and hardware solutions, EXTRAC HV™ and VXTurret™, deliver cutting-edge debris extraction methods.
At the heart of the VXTurret technology is its ability to synchronize motion control with laser pulsing and vacuum extraction. This precise coordination ensures the process is highly efficient, safe for operators, and effective at eliminating toxic gases, debris, and other effluent and harmful byproducts.
Custom Extraction Nozzles
When it comes to laser processing with advanced materials, Bold Laser Automation is a specialist in vacuum extraction, debris extraction, and safety.
Effective debris and gas extraction relies on precise synchronization with the optical beam delivery system. Bold Laser Automation ensures both operator safety and a consistent, repeatable process by tailoring the solution to the specific laser-material interaction, plume dynamics, cyclonic action, and motion.
Shown above is a complex geometry for a laser process extraction application within high-speed automation.
Pictured is a clear debris and gas extraction nozzle designed for a laser ablation process. This system efficiently removes dielectric materials from printed circuit boards (PCBs) by selectively ablating higher volumes of material from the substrate.
This video shows a high-speed debris and gas extraction system for microelectronic packaging applications. You can see how the plume bends into the entrainment flow of the vacuum nozzle. Such high-speed flow provides the bulk material entrainment/extraction of both the dielectric and its thermal filler materials such as silica.
