HD Vinyl Test Cutting 032020

In June 2019 we published for the first time a video of the HD Vinyl laser cutting process. The quality was much better than expected, but the process was too slow and inaccurate for industrial production. Especially stitching errors gave us a headache. We needed to improve the process over the full area of a 12” disc in terms of speed and positioning accuracy. We found the solution rather unexpectedly at a conference for laser ablation in Japan. There we met the german company ScanLab, which is specialized in scan solutions and turns lasers into precise, highly dynamic and flexible tools. Their XL-Scan technology enables us to move both laser and ceramic plate at the same time. This requires precise synchronization of scanner, stages and laser pulses with special hard- und software. The results are fantastic! Continuous and seamless groove cutting is now many times faster at an unprecedented accuracy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to ScanLab: Follow the progress of HD Vinyl and subscribe to our newsletter on .
