Laser micromachining of Conical Surfaces (Balloons)


The United States Patent and Trademark Office has allowed one of Resonetics’ patent applications directed to laser micro-machining of a conical surface.

This is an important patent as it not only enables the laser micro drilling of holes (as small as 1 micron in diameter) or trimming of medical balloons or other 3-D geometries with high precision but the method is also highly efficient for volume manufacturing. This method is critical to meet the cost and yield demands of emerging device technologies such as drug eluting balloons, embolic protection, PTCA/PTA and kyphoplasty.

Resonetics has developed 9 axes laser micromachining technology to permit the laser micromachining of complex, non-planar 3-D polymer-based devices. One of the most difficult technical challenges lies in non-planar geometry where the device is conical or hemispherical in shape, meaning the surface curvature is continuously changing in the axial direction. Moreover the surface curvature or cone angle is not constant so simple fixturing techniques are not applicable.

Laser Systems Division: New product for Geoscience Laser Ablation

 

The Laser Systems Division announces the receipt of three (3) system orders for the Geoscience Laser Ablation market. The company's initial product is the RESOlution M-50 Series, developed in partnership with the University of London and Laurin Technic of Australia. According to Glenn Ogura, VP of Sales and Marketing, "Resonetics is entering a relatively new field of LA-ICP-MS for elemental analysis. We have chosen to work with industry leaders Michael Shelley and Dr. Wolfgang Müller to help Resonetics enter this market. Before even launching this product, the company received orders for three (3) systems which is a testament to our partners experience and involvement in the system design.

The company plans to have all three systems installed by Q3 2008. Additional product lines are expected to be released in 2009.

Resonetics LLC: Multi-Million dollar
system orders received

 

Laser Systems Division:

The Laser Systems Division announces the receipt of multi-million dollars of system orders for medical device manufacturing from 2 major tier 1 corporations. According the Pascal Miller, Director of the Laser Systems Division, "The receipt of these orders for our DPSS, CO2 and Excimer laser technology for production applications validates the company's investment in production processes. It is especially gratifying to see the company win orders by offering compelling laser solutions over non-laser technology."

The Division expects to install the majority of systems by the end of Q3 2008.

Third Clean Room Installed

 

Resonetics LLC
Laser Micromachining Division

Resonetics Medical Device Components and Subassembly Group announces plans to add a third Class 100,000 clean room facility to augment the capacity of the group. According to VP of Operations, Rich Hunter, "The growth of our medical device business has dictated that we increase our overall capacity to meet the demands of our customers. A number of our medical client's products have reached commercialization and with the anticipated volumes, Resonetics needed to add both laser equipment and clean room space."

The additional medical device manufacturing facility will be operational by September 1, 2008.
