Tighter Tolerances for Flow Control Components

At an ever increasing rate industry is requiring tighter tolerances on flow control components.  As a supplier of laser drilled orifices in a variety of components, Lenox Laser, Inc. has been meeting these tighter tolerance requirements for several years.  Incidentally, these very tight toleranced parts have been in high demand.  To accommodate this demand, Lenox Laser has developed proprietary processes that allow tolerances to be consistently held.  Tolerances can be as tight as +/-0.5% and +/-1% on a 10 micron or larger hole sizes.  Compare this to standard tolerances that typically range from +/-5% and larger with respect to the hole size (i.e. a 1 micron hole can have a standard tolerance of close to +/-50% depending upon the part material and thickness).  Often customers may need not just tighter tolerances on a nominal size but matched sets or pairs with tolerances of +/-1-2% of each other.  Integration of the laser process with its flow testing capabilities ensures repeatable results with higher yields.  Very tight tolerances can be held on most standard flow components we offer, as well as, customer supplied parts.  Visit our website at www.lenoxlaser.com or email sales@lenoxlaser.com for more information.

Microlensing

The Lenox Laser Corporation of Glen Arm, MD, hosted a seminar that featured a wide range of topics in the field of light and optics. One of the topics of great interest was "microlensing". Go to the following web address for a great article about this very intriguing subject.

Metrology Automatic Measuring

Lenox Laser has recently purchased a smartscope FLASH metrology system.
The machine will automatically measure down to a three micron aperture.
We also offer quality reports as an additional service.
Optical Gauging Products,Inc, is one of the leaders in field of metrology.
Our Smartscope Flash 200 Video Inspection System is a great asset to our quality assurance program.

PicoLaser Drilled Nanometer Holes for the Semiconductor Industry

Lenox Laser is introducing a series of flow calibrated nanometer holes to the semiconductor industry in tungsten, 304 stainless, nickel; gaskets and fittings. The process of picosecond laser drilling is a recent development with new solid state UV lasers. Lenox Laser has designed systems for the purpose of drilling cleaner and smaller holes with closer tolerances. This process has also given us the ability to generate more precise micro flow rates with tolerances that have exceeded our expectations.
