CNC Laser Drilling
Machine
Non-contact green laser drilling for thin glass — 3 laser heads, Φ2–40mm holes, 0.8–4mm glass, ±0.02mm accuracy, zero tool wear, Class 1 safety enclosure.
How It Works
Five stages from raw glass to precision laser-drilled output — non-contact, tool-wear-free.
Why This Laser Drilling Machine
Six features that make laser drilling superior to mechanical drilling on thin glass.
Non-Contact Laser Drilling
The green laser drills through glass via controlled ablation — no physical contact means zero tool wear, zero glass particles, and zero mechanical stress. Eliminates the consumable cost and downtime of mechanical drill bits entirely.
Green Laser (532nm) Technology
The 532nm green wavelength is optimally absorbed by glass — delivering precise drilling with ≤0.2mm heat-affected zone, ≤0.4μm edge chipping, and no micro-fractures. Outperforms mechanical drilling and IR lasers on thin transparent glass.
Up to 3 Simultaneous Laser Heads
Configure 1, 2, or 3 laser heads for your throughput needs. Each head operates independently on its own drilling pattern — triple the output in the same footprint. No mechanical system can match this multi-head parallel processing.
CCD Camera Positioning System
High-resolution CCD camera with cross-hair alignment automatically detects glass position, orientation, and edge coordinates. Eliminates manual alignment — the system self-calibrates for every sheet, achieving ±0.02mm positioning accuracy.
Air-Cooled Laser Source (>20,000hr)
The DPSS green laser source is air-cooled — no chiller, no water lines, no maintenance. With >20,000-hour lifespan and <20μs on/off switching, the laser runs continuously with minimal intervention. Plug in and drill.
Class 1 Safety Enclosure
Fully enclosed laser cabin meets Class 1 safety standards — the highest level of laser safety. Interlocked doors, laser-off sensors, and CE/FDA compliance ensure operator safety in any production environment. No laser safety glasses required.
Non-Contact = Zero Consumables
The green laser drills via controlled ablation — no physical contact means zero drill bit wear, zero glass particles, and zero mechanical stress. Eliminate the ongoing cost and downtime of mechanical consumables entirely.

How It Compares
CNC Green Laser vs. mechanical drill press vs. IR laser drilling.
Hanwin CNC Green Laser Drilling leads in Precision (98), HAZ Control (95), and Cost/Efficiency (90) — the most precise and cost-effective drilling solution for thin glass.
Where It Excels
From solar panels to display glass — one laser, every thin-glass drilling need.
Photovoltaic & Solar Glass
High-Volume Precision Drilling
Solar panel glass and photovoltaic module glass require thousands of precisely positioned holes for cell interconnections, junction boxes, and mounting points. The CNC Laser Drilling Machine's triple-head configuration delivers 500 holes/min — processing entire solar panels in seconds with zero tool wear across millions of holes.

Five essential maintenance practices to maximize laser performance and source lifespan.
Inspect laser beam alignment using the CCD camera test pattern. Clean lens surfaces with optical-grade cleaning tissue — never touch with fingers. Check air-assist pressure and flow. Verify Class 1 enclosure interlocks function. Run 10 test holes to confirm drilling quality.
Calibrate the CCD camera positioning system using a glass test piece with known coordinates. Verify ±0.02mm accuracy at four corner positions. Clean camera lens and lighting. Check alignment software parameters. Backup all drilling programs and patterns.
Lubricate XY table linear guides with precision machine oil. Check table flatness using a precision level. Verify servo motor performance and backlash. Clean debris from table surface and bellows. Check all cable connections and limit switches.
Verify laser output power using a calibrated power meter. If power drops below 90% of rated output, schedule laser head service. Check cooling fan filters and clean or replace. Inspect all electrical connections. Verify laser safety interlocks and enclosure integrity.
Perform complete machine calibration using laser measurement tools. Verify all axes, CCD camera accuracy, laser beam quality (M²), pulse duration, and safety systems. Replace optical components showing degradation. Full CE/FDA compliance check. Laser source lifespan audit.
Common Questions
Everything you need to know about the CNC Laser Drilling Machine.
Green laser (532nm) drilling is non-contact — zero tool wear, zero glass particles, zero mechanical stress. It delivers ≤0.2mm heat-affected zone vs. 0.5–1mm for mechanical drilling, and handles glass from 0.15mm that mechanical bits would crack. The total cost of ownership is lower because there are no consumable drill bits.
The standard green laser configuration handles 0.8–4mm glass. With the optional IR 1064nm laser head, it can process glass from 0.15mm (ultra-thin display glass) up to 15mm (thick tempered glass). The green laser is specifically optimized for thin transparent glass where heat-affected zone control is critical.
Depends on hole diameter and laser head configuration. The G-LD-1 (1 head) drills up to 300 holes/min for Φ2–5mm holes. The G-LD-2 (2 heads) reaches 400 holes/min. The G-LD-3 (3 heads) delivers up to 500 holes/min. Larger holes (Φ20–40mm) require more pulses and are slower.
The green laser produces a heat-affected zone of ≤0.2mm — the region where glass temperature rises enough to potentially cause micro-fractures or stress. This is 3–5× smaller than mechanical drilling and 2× smaller than IR laser drilling. For thin display and solar glass, this minimal HAZ is critical for product quality.
No — the DPSS green laser source is air-cooled. No chiller, no water lines, no water treatment. The air-cooled design reduces installation complexity, maintenance requirements, and operating costs. The laser source has >20,000-hour lifespan with air cooling alone.
The G-LD-1 has 1 laser head with 200×200mm XY table — ideal for prototyping and low-medium volume. The G-LD-2 has 2 heads with 400×400mm table — 2× throughput for mid-volume production. The G-LD-3 has 3 heads with 600×600mm table, optional IR laser, and ±0.01mm accuracy — maximum versatility and throughput for multi-product lines.
