Processing of flat surfaces and common flat surfaces

Nikon's optical subtractive processing machine is capable of performing high precision flat surface processing with sub-micron level geometrical tolerances. This section introduces flat surface processing and common flat surface processing performed by this machine.

Processing of difficult-to-cut and fragile materials

Nikon's optical subtractive processing machine can perform ablation processing on various materials using an ultra-short pulse laser. This section introduces examples of processing performed on difficult-to-cut and fragile materials using this machine.

Scraping

Until recently, only skillful artisans have been able to perform "kisage processing," or hand scraping. But we Nikon has successfully reproduced this skill with our laser processing machine. The following introduces scraping processes with our laser processing machine together with data from processing results.
