Recapping ITES Shenzhen 2026: MONO Debuts ML-VORTEX for Advanced 5-Axis Femtosecond Laser Machining
In this article:
The 27th ITES Shenzhen Industrial Exhibition has successfully concluded at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center. As a leading innovator in ultrafast laser technology, MONO (Hall 7, 7-P43) captured the global manufacturing industry’s imagination with the world debut of the ML-VORTEX.
Through live 5-axis motion demonstrations, MONO showcased its ability to solve the "Hard, Brittle, and Complex" machining bottlenecks that currently limit the growth of high-tech sectors.
1. Technical Spotlight: ML-VORTEX 5-Axis Femtosecond Laser System
The ML-VORTEX Series was the technical highlight of ITES 2026, redefining the standards for irregular micro-hole forming. Designed for high-end components in the semiconductor, aerospace, and medical fields, the system offers three core advantages:
🔍 Key Features of the ML-VORTEX:
- 5-Axis Motion Control: Enables the seamless fabrication of complex irregular holes—including tapered, square, helical, and flared profiles—within a single, integrated process.
- True Cold Ablation: Utilizing ultrafast femtosecond pulses, the system vaporizes material without thermal diffusion. This ensures Zero Heat-Affected Zones (HAZ), preserving the structural integrity of heat-sensitive polymers and thin-walled tubes.
- Mirror-Smooth Surface Finish: Advanced beam delivery eliminates burrs and recast layers, directly improving production yields for high-value components.
2. Full-Spectrum Micromachining Capabilities
Beyond the live equipment demonstration, MONO displayed over 30 precision-engineered samples that illustrated our versatility across diverse materials and industries:
- Semiconductor: High-density via arrays for MEMS probe card substrates and ceramic showerheads with ±1μm accuracy.
- Medical Micromachining: Burr-free precision drilling in PI/PEEK medical tubes and bio-compatible filtration membranes.
- Optics & Advanced Materials: Sub-micron optical slits, conductive cloth dicing, and sapphire micro-structuring.
