Fiber lasers and ultrashort-pulsed lasers take center stage at ROFIN's 2012 MEDTEC appearance (hall 6, booth 6329). Pioneering femtosecond laser applications in medical device industry, the laser manufacturer installed the first femto cutting systems for stents and other implants several years ago. Since then, comprehensive application know-how with ultrashort-pulsed lasers in the medical device area has been accumulated.


Excellently positioned in ultrashort-pulsed laser material processing with femto- and picosecond lasers
Femtosecond lasers are steadily capturing new application areas in medical device manufacturing. Like burr-free cutting of filigree implants, made of NiTi shape memory alloys with wall-thicknesses of only a few microns, which wouldn't withstand mechanical post-processing. Or cold cutting of bio-absorbable implants made of PLA/PLGA, which cannot be processed with classical lasers. With StarFemto and StarPico ROFIN offers reliable ultrashort-pulsed laser sources with sufficient power for industrial manufacturing, providing an optimum solution for any application.

Fiber lasers for cutting Nitinol up to 1mm thickness
When it comes to classical fiber laser sources for material processing ROFIN sets the standard again. The StarFiber OEM series offers outstanding slew rates and thus significantly higher pulse peak power for a given pulse energy, compared to competitors. This immediately pays off with sharper cutting edges and smoother cutting surfaces - especially when cutting thicker material. With an average power from 100 to 400 W and remarkable high pulse frequencies of up to 170 kHz, the StarFiber OEM sources cover a wide range of cutting and structuring applications.

MPS - versatile, medium-sized laser workstation
The MPS (Modular Processing System) is a versatile, modular laser workstation for a comprehensive range of automated material processing applications. The all-in-one system integrates laser sources, high precision axis modules and control units in a compact housing to customer-tailored and cost-effective solutions for cutting, welding, drilling or structuring. Equipped with fiber and ultrashort-pulsed sources by ROFIN, the MPS is realizes customer-tailored and cost-effective solutions for cutting, welding, drilling or structuring in medical device manufacturing.

StarCut Tube - the tube cutting standard
StarCut Tube is the market-leading high-precision laser system for fully-automated cutting of implants or other precision parts, made from circular or oval tubes. Individually equipped with StarFemto, StarFiber or StarCut laser sources, the system realizes contour accuracies better +/- 5
