GF PRESENTS NEW LASER S 500 (U) - THE ULTIMATE ABLATION TOOL

Today, we face entirely new challenges as trends toward miniaturisation and advanced technologies compel us to innovate and enhance our production capabilities—aiming for heightened precision and speed while reducing costs.

We achieved this with the introduction of the new LASER S 500 (U) having been inspired by decades of innovation in the machine tool industry and leveraging our comprehensive expertise.

This machine incorporates the collective knowledge, experience and competence of GF Machining Solutions and sets new benchmarks in both precision and speed, embodying a revolutionary leap forward in our industry.

Conceived to drive users’ application success
Across a wide range of industry segments, from electronic components (EC) and information and communications technology (ICT) to medical technology and watchmaking, the LASER S 500 (U) offers precision parts manufacturers a chance to break free from conventional machining techniques and experience the many benefits of laser technology, including its performance and energy efficiency.

For EC and ICT, this solution masters everything on hard and brittle material like silicon carbide (SiC), silicon nitride, alumina, and tungsten carbide. Mold-and-die applications such as die-bonding tools for IC packaging, as well as part production applications like micro-electronic tooling, wedge bonding, or SiC wafer chucks, can benefit from the machine’s micro-engraving or micro-shaping, surface texturing and structuring operations.

The LASER S 500 (U) can serve the parts production for medical industry applications, such as texturing of orthopedic implants as well as high-added-value medical instruments. It also adds value to precision parts production in watchmaking, giving users a fast and accurate process for decoration, marking, coloration and micro-engraving.

With its remarkable speed and accuracy across an array of materials and applications, GF Machining Solutions and the LASER S 500 (U) are setting the course for the future of micro-machining and 3D surface processing operations.



The centerpiece features a brass dial, intricately engraved, and decorated with a femtosecond laser for superior quality and aesthetics. The stainless-steel exterior showcases advanced 5-axis capabilities, with deep engravings in white and blue, complemented by laser brushing that seamlessly integrates the bezel with the outer cylindrical surface.

Highly configurable
The LASER S 500 (U) is available in various configurations: three or five axes and with different laser sources from nanosecond to femtosecond. Conceived to meet customers’ specific needs, this solution also boasts a new and improved human-machine interface (HMI). It ensures a user-friendly machining experience and provides advanced machine control to successfully tackle the most complex applications. GF Machining Solutions' strength lies in offering solutions, not just machines. That is why we offer flexible automation options for machines that take both pallet and parts handling into account and are tailored precisely to the customer's needs.



The LASER S 500 (U) can machine the most challenging material in three or five-axis configurations.

Thermoregulation boosts accuracy and repeatability
Additionally, the LASER S 500 (U) is fully thermoregulated, meaning the key machine components are water-cooled to guarantee the accuracy and repeatability of the machining cycle. As a result, users maintain consistent quality across long machining cycles, resulting in high precision and quality across the complete machining time.



Connector die: beyond low Ra values, Laser Micromachining offers precise control over surface finishes, including VDI-like blasting and enhanced properties such as easy demolding

High dynamics drive, speed and productivity
Moreover, this solution provides high dynamics drive, speed and increased productivity. The machine’s powerful components and a high-speed 3D scanner in combination with the linear and torque motors mean manufacturers can machine with full-speed-ahead confidence, regardless of workpiece complexity. Micro-machining and 3D surface processing become “child’s play” with the LASER S 500 (U).

Unrivalled accuracy regardless of material
Like all solutions in the LASER S series, the new LASER S 500 (U) offers unrivaled accuracy, allowing manufacturers to achieve shape accuracy of ±5 μm and surface finishes as fine as Ra 0.1 μm on the softest materials like gold to the hardest such as SiC.

Investing in the Laser S 500 means future-proofing our customer’s operations with cutting-edge technology that ensures them to stay ahead in a competitive landscape. It's more than just a tool; it's a game-changer.
