Laser Processing
AFP’s laser processing involves the use of highly focused laser beams to cut, weld, drill, mark, or modify components with extreme precision. These precision-engineered components—such as stainless-steel manifolds, tubing, valves, and enclosures—support critical applications in chromatography, clinical diagnostics, and genomics, benefiting from the accuracy, repeatability, and cleanliness of AFP’s advanced laser capabilities.
Our laser processing services
Our laser processing services include flat-bed cutting, laser welding and marking, and laser cutting. We offer analytical instrument OEMs the following benefits:
- Non-contact, sterile, and highly accurate processing
- Minimal thermal damage
- High-volume production and rapid prototyping
- Compatibility with in-house automation and cleanroom environments
In chromatography, clinical diagnostics, and genomics manufacturing, AFP’s laser processing is often combined with precision machining and electropolishing to achieve superior surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and overall component performance.
For example:
- Cutting and welding stainless steel manifolds via fiber lasers
- Marking calibration IDs with UV lasers
- Electropolishing internal channels for smooth, contaminant-free flow
