LASER-SCRIBING PLATFORM

摘要

Laser-scribing systems (100) and translation stages (102) operable to support a workpiece (104) during laser scribing are provided. A laser-scribing system (100) includes a base section, a bed (102) supported by the base section, a laser (202, 302, 442), a first driving mechanism (114, 116) operable to move a workpiece (104) longitudinally along the bed (102), and a second driving mechanism (134, 136, 522, 524). The bed (102) comprises a movable section (554, 620) configured to translate with respect to the base section. The movable section (554, 620) comprises a gap to allow a laser beam to pass through. The laser (202, 302, 442) is positioned to direct the laser beam through the gap. The second driving mechanism (134, 136, 532, 524) is operable to laterally translate the laser (202, 320, 442) and the movable section (554, 620) in order to scribe a pattern on the workpiece (104).
