Micro Cutting of Biliary Stent with Nanosecond Fiber Laser System

Abstract:

A biliary stent cutting system based on nanosecond fiber laser was designed in this study. In order to achieve the stent cutting, the main modules and the critical technologies were analyzed. Then with the cutting system, the kerf width size was studied for different cutting parameters including laser power, repetition rate, cutting speed and assisting gas pressure. Finally, a high quality of fabricated nitinol biliary stent was achieved.
