Here, we present the details of a novel ultra-short pulsed laser machining workstation that has been employed for high-throughput laser machining of small-scale mechanical property specimens. This system employs a six degrees of freedom hexapod positioning stage capable of macroscopic movements at high positional accuracy. We developed a methodology that uses quantitative image analysis to measure key parameters required to minimize the hexapod positioning and rotational error. Application of this system to laser machining of small-scale 316L stainless steel tensile specimens and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene compressive specimens using eucentric tilt and rotation about the specimen axis will be shown, where serial laser milling at a specimen tilt angle of 10° was used to effectively eliminate any taper in the sample cross section that is typically found in laser machining.
