Laser driller

Huffman Corp.'s HD-205 five-axis, computer-numerically controlled laser driller is well suited for applications requiring high-aspect ratio holes at shallow entrance angles or high-speed drilling applications and can accommodate many components, particularly turbine engine blades and vanes. Integrating Convergent Energy's Aurora P50L Nd:YAG laser source with Huffman's manipulator, the system offers multi-axis performance through three linear (X, Y, and Z) and two rotary (B and C) axes for reduced setups and machines. With a 14-in work envelope and a reduced footprint of 34 ft2, it offers optimum position accuracy and repeatability.
