Why Choose Resonetics

Multi-national corporations, Tier 1 medical device companies and VC-backed start ups choose Resonetics as their strategic laser micromachining partner for a number of key reasons. A visit to the company’s headquarters in Nashua New Hampshire will deliver an explanation much more persuasive and eloquent than any words or photos.

Total Solution Provider

If you require a laser-micromachining product or service, then Resonetics is your one-stop solution. No other company in the world offers two world class divisions: Laser Micromachining Division (for contract manufacturing services) and Laser Systems Division (for capital equipment). You no longer have to worry about outsourcing for two years and then bringing the technology in house. You no longer have to worry about finding a company who can build equipment but does not have a fundamental understanding of true manufacturing. You have found a partner who can do both. Very well.

Innovation

If you visit the Laser Micromachining Division, you will see a world class laser micromachining facility with over fifty (50) laser systems running 24 hours per day, six days per week. You will see leading edge micromachining technology, ranging from 9 axes 3-D machining to glove box to catheter drilling systems to complete turnkey automation (part loading, laser machining and in-situ metrology). Our Engineering staff alone is larger than many of our competitors. We leverage this engineering horsepower, comprised of PhD’s, design engineers, optical scientists, manufacturing and quality engineers to innovate new products and services.

Problem Solvers

Whether you’re looking for an outsource partner or a laser system, in both cases, a manufacturing problem needs to be solved. This problem takes the form of a manufacturing process, whether it is drilling, skiving, stripping, etching or cutting. Since Resonetics has +50 laser micromachining systems in house, we can objectively look at excimers, diode-pumped solid state, fiber, pico second, femtosecond or CO2 lasers to create a repeatable and consistent process. With a large staff of experienced application engineers, coupled with equipment, tooling, manufacturing and quality engineers, Resonetics has the technical horsepower to quickly arrive at a practical and cost-effective solution.

 

Automation

In today’s global economy, manufacturing labor represents a significant contributor to the cost of a product or service. In order for outsourcing to remain in the United States, the Resonetics Laser Micromachining Division’s mandate is to automate every manufacturing step from part loading, laser machining, part loading, inspection and packaging. A tour of our facility will give you a glimpse of our on-going automation initiative.

 

 

 

Capacity

Resonetics has the world’s largest capacity of laser micromachining systems in the ultra-violet wavelengths (193nm, 248nm, 266nm, 355nm), operating in a 24 hour, six days per week facilities with three clean rooms. Resonetics has the largest capacity to prototype and manufacture plastic-machined components in high volume. The company extensive engineering team has the capacity to develop a manufacturing process and to transform that process into a turnkey laser micromachining system.

 

Process Knowledge

The fundamental understanding of the laser micromachining process is one of Resonetics’s core competencies. Resonetics multi-disciplined engineering staff understand on how to shape and direct a laser beam on to the workpiece to create micromachined features that meets the dimensional requirements, quality, throughput and cost target. Test engineers must deliver a laser beam according to laser source specification. Optical engineers must develop optical modules to shape the beam with the correct intensity and distribution. Mechanical engineers must design a stable platform for the opto-mechanical components to deliver the beam on target. Electrical engineers must design system controller, motion controllers, machine and camera vision. Software engineers must develop user-friendly, graphical interfaces to help the user operate the laser system. System and application engineers must put the system together to make the process work.
