About FemtoGlass Stazzjon tax-Xogħol għall-Qtugħ tal-Ħġieġ
FemtoGlass huwa stazzjon tax-xogħol bil-lejżer għall-qtugħ u l-immattar tal-ħġieġ u s-sapphire. L-istazzjon tax-xogħol jintuża għax-xogħol ta' riċerka kif ukoll għall-manifattura b'volum għoli. Aċċess wiesa' għaż-żona tax-xogħol jagħmel it-tagħbija u l-bidliet fil-produzzjoni sempliċi. Header LED fuq nett jissostitwixxi d-dawl standard tas-sinjal tal-magna u juri l-istatus operattiv attwali. Il-kaxxa hija magħmula minn metall fil-folja semi-mati, filwaqt li l-mejda ta' ġewwa hija magħmula minn granit ta' kwalità għolja għal stabbiltà kontra l-vibrazzjoni. FemtoGlass jaqta' l-ħġieġ minn 30 mikrometru sa 2 millimetri f'daqqa waħda.

- Production Technology
- The FemtoGLASS features a semi-matt sheet metal casing, allowing for dimensional flexibility and customization based on market demand. The interior table is made of ultrastable high-quality granite, providing excellent stability and insulation against vibrations. Its main applications include glass wafer dicing, thin glass cutting, and various cutting needs for mobile phone screens, buttons, camera lenses, smart glasses, and micro-optics. With its patented glass and sapphire cutting technology, FemtoGLASS achieves ultra-high quality and precision on tempered and non-tempered glass, as well as sapphire, with minimal chipping and no post-processing required. It excels in industries like semiconductors, microfluidics, and micro-optics, enhancing glass bending strength and sidewall cut-finish quality. Notably, FemtoGLASS can cut ultra-thin glass up to 2mm in a single pass. Integrated beam stabilization and metrology solutions ensure consistent cutting accuracy and workflow efficiency, accommodating different substrate thicknesses for optimal results across applications.
- Design Challenge
- Due to the high competition in the market, the main creative challenge was to design an aesthetic laser cutting workstation, which would be minimal and understandable with unobtrusive form and standout look at the same time. The main goal was to improve the usage scenario and increase working area, without compromising the outlook and usability. The idea for the workstation was to be trustworthy, sturdy, elegant and modern with clear design language and friendly usage.
- Research
- The name FemtoGLASS perfectly conveys its purpose. As the demand for precision laser dicing of brittle materials continues to grow - this solution addresses these challenges. State-of-the-art glass and sapphire cutting & dicing technology sets new standards, enhancing process yield and efficiency. This technology surpasses other glass-cutting methods, making it highly applicable in the semiconductor, microfluidics, and micro-optics industries.
- Inspiration
- Our design team drew inspiration from the intersection of classical forms to create a unique workstation. The main body of the product embodies the elegance of a black cube, adorned with a sleek blue coat. All buttons and controls are conveniently positioned at the user's fingertips, providing effortless control and management of the cutting process. The workstation features screens and a captivating blue glass window, enhancing ease of use and visibility.
- Project Duration
- The project began in early 2022 in Vilnius, Lithuania, with a focus on defining key technological and usability aspects. The design solution was developed in mid-2022, followed by engineering and manufacturing preparations. By the end of that year, a primary prototype was constructed and tested to ensure compliance with requirements. In early 2023, the FemtoGlass workstation was successfully released to the market.
- Operation Flow
- At the heart of this cutting-edge technology is patented WOP glass and sapphire cutting technology, renowned for its exceptional precision and ultra-high quality results. The FemtoGLASS is the ultimate solution for achieving superior cutting and dicing performance in the glass and sapphire industry.
