JPSA job shop offers vertical wall taper-less hole drilling(Apr 16, 2008) J P Sercel Associates (JPSA) has begun to offer hole drilling with excimer lasers with controlled hole tapering. This means that holes of varying sizes in a wide variety of soft or hard materials can be drilled with straight or vertical walls regardless of the thickness of the material drilled through, i.e., unaffected by a high aspect ratio. JPSA can also drill holes with a controlled taper (i.e., user-defined angle) as well as vertical ("taper-less") ones.
