Lasea Hypostent

The Hypostent is an ergonomic, production-ready laser workstation engineered specifically for the micromachining of medical devices. Where conventional tube-cutting systems handle a single process, the Hypostent combines a femtosecond laser source — available at 20 W, 40 W, or 80 W with up to 200 µJ pulse energy and bi-burst / nanoswitch pulse modes — with an advanced water-cooled ScanLab galvo scanner to enable the widest range of laser processes in a single setup.

The combination of cutting nozzle and scanner in one machine enables off-centred cutting, chamfering, turning, milling, texturing, drilling, marking, thin-film removal, debonding, decoration, and engraving — without any repositioning between operations. An intuitive, user-centric HMI is customised per user type, minimising training time and ensuring rapid access to authorised functions.

STANDARD EQUIPMENT

• Femtosecond laser source: 20 W, 40 W, or 80 W; up to 200 µJ pulse energy; bi-burst and nanoswitch modes
• Precise cutting head: 50 mm or 80 mm focal length with coaxial camera
• Water-cooled ScanLab excelliscan14 galvo scanner with 70 mm f-theta lens
• Up to 4 axes including dynamic rotary stage + ACS drives — X: 300 mm, Y: 250 mm (tool change), Z: 100 mm
• Ergonomic 27″ touchscreen with optional keyboard
• Safe, stable enclosure with protected beam path and dust extraction with fire protection
• Integrated job editor adapted to CAGILA®

UPGRADE OPTIONS

• Dual laser setup with 150 W QCW fibre laser
• Additional off-axis camera with motorised zoom for advanced positioning
• Wet-cutting option

Bar feeder

• Femtosecond laser source: 20 W / 40 W / 80 W — up to 200 µJ pulse energy
• Bi-burst and nanoswitch pulse modes for optimised material interaction
• Water-cooled ScanLab excelliscan14 galvo scanner — 70 mm f-theta lens
• Cutting head with 50 mm or 80 mm focal length and a coaxial camera
• Up to 4 axes, including dynamic rotary stage (ACS drives) — X: 300 mm, Y: 250 mm, Z: 100 mm
• Single-setup workflow: cutting, chamfering, turning, milling, drilling, engraving, marking, texturing
• Intuitive user-centric HMI customised per user type — minimises training
• Job editor integrated with CAGILA®
• Ergonomic 27″ touchscreen with optional keyboard
• Safe enclosure with protected beam path, dust extraction, and fire protection

• Stent Cutting & Chamfering
  • Laser cutting with off-centred and chamfered profiles on nitinol, stainless steel, and cobalt-chrome tubes. Minimised heat-affected zone with femtosecond pulses eliminates the need for chemical cleaning between operations.
• Catheter & Micro-Needle Fabrication
  • Tube turning, milling, and drilling for catheter assembly and polymer micro-needle structures. Single-setup processing from raw tube to finished component.
• Photoacoustic Imaging & Functional Imaging
  • The Hypostent’s ability to drill and cut with precision across a wide range of tube diameters and wall thicknesses makes it ideally suited to the fabrication of components for photoacoustic and intravascular imaging systems.
• Medical Implant Drilling & Surface Structuring
  • 0° taper drilling and surface texturing of implants and prosthetics. Laser-induced surface features for improved osseointegration and biocompatibility.
• Device Traceability Marking (UDI Compliance)
  • Intra-volume Datamatrix code engraving and black marking for UDI compliance — achieved in the same job as machining, without rework or part handling.
• Thin-Film Removal & Debonding
  • Selective removal of coatings and adhesive layers from medical device components using femtosecond pulses with minimal substrate damage.
