RST NOVA
Is an advanced femtosecond laser micromachining platform designed for both industrial production and research applications. The system delivers true cold ablation with fs pulses, eliminating heat-affected zones and enabling precision processing of virtually any material. Multi-wavelength capability (IR, Green, UV), scalable multi-head architecture, and up to 5-axis motion make it the ultimate tool for high-volume manufacturing of automotive and defense components, as well as demanding R&D applications.
Main goals
- Cold ablation
"Femtosecond pulses eliminate heat-affected zones (HAZ) – ideal for medical devices, electronics, and heat-sensitive substrates. - Industry 4.0 ready
"OPC UA interface, recipe management, and full traceability for seamless integration into smart factory environments." - Flexible automation
"Compatible with robotic loading, conveyor integration, and custom fixtures for high-volume production." - Process development support
"In-house application lab for feasibility studies, parameter optimization, and proof-of-concept before machine purchase."
Our advantages
Multi-wavelength capability IR (1030 nm), Green (515 nm), UV (343 nm) – optimize absorption coefficient for any material from metals to transparent polymers and ceramics.
Scalable multi-head architecture Parallel processing with 2–4 synchronized galvo scanners for increased throughput. Independent or synchronized operation modes.
True cold ablation fs pulses eliminate heat-affected zones (HAZ) – no thermal damage, micro-cracks, or material discoloration.
Industry 4.0 ready OPC UA interface, recipe management, and full traceability for seamless smart factory integration.
Integrated machine vision High-resolution camera system with automated alignment, fiducial recognition, and real-time process monitoring for zero-defect manufacturing.
