RST µLAB
Is a compact laboratory micromachining station designed for research institutions and R&D departments. Built for optical table integration, the system accepts any laser source and offers complete flexibility in beam delivery configuration. With precision XY and Z stages, optional vision system, and RST-LAB Laser Application Bench software, it provides researchers with a versatile platform for developing and validating microfabrication processes before scaling to production.
Main goals
- Open-source architecture – integrate with any laser source, wavelength, or beam delivery system
- Optical table compatible – designed for seamless integration into existing laboratory setups
- Precision motion platform – high-accuracy XY stage (100 × 100 mm) with motorized Z-axis focusing
- Research flexibility – quick reconfiguration for different experiments and optical arrangements
- Scalable to production – process parameters transfer directly to RST-LAB production systems
- Full customization – vision systems, autofocus, and additional axes available on request
Universal source compatibility Connect any laser – femtosecond, picosecond, nanosecond, or CW.
RST-LAB software suite Unified control for motion control, laser triggering, pattern generation, and parameter logging.
Optical table integration Compact footprint designed for M6 or 1/4-20 breadboard mounting.
Expandable vision & alignment Optional coaxial camera system for sample alignment.
High-precision XY positioning Crossed-roller bearing.
