What We Do
Akoneer is a Lithuanian manufacturer of ultrafast laser micromachining systems, founded in 2010 and headquartered in Vilnius. We design, develop and build laser processing machines for industrial production and for research institutions. Our systems are supplied worldwide.
Our core expertise is ultrashort pulse laser processing of materials that are difficult to machine by conventional means. AKO systems perform cutting, drilling, micromilling, welding, marking and engraving of metals, semiconductors, glass, ceramics and other materials. Each system combines an ultrafast laser source, high-speed galvanometer scanning and precision motion stages with DMC control software that is configured around the customer’s process, from R&D workstations for universities and research institutes to production platforms for industrial customers.
The company’s flagship technology is SSAIL (Selective Surface Activation Induced by Laser), a patented process for forming electrically conductive traces directly on dielectric substrates such as polymers, glass, ceramics and composites. The laser selectively activates the substrate surface, after which metal, usually copper, is deposited by electroless plating, with no special substrate preparation. SSAIL achieves resolution down to 1 µm with substrate-dependent adhesion that is better than printing, writing speeds up to 7 m/s and conductivity of approximately 70% that of copper. The process works on complex 3D surfaces and is scalable.
SSAIL is available on all AKO system platforms: AKO 300 (300 × 300 × 100 mm working area) and AKO 600 (600 × 400 × 100 mm) and AKO CUSTOM with customizable working area. Applications include semiconductor packaging, flexible electronics, MID's, displays and antennas, with semiconductor packaging in Asia and the USA as our main market.
We work with customers from feasibility testing and process customization through to system delivery and integration with constant support on SSAIL development.
