Questions about laser cutting of films and adhesive tapes
Yes, you can also realise so-called kiss cuts with our laser machines. By specifically adjusting the laser power, only the top layer of a material is cut (e.g. in the case of self-adhesive films or labels), while the carrier material or the underlayer remains intact. In addition, a specially integrable kiss-cut module technology is available, which enables very fine cuts or partial cuts to be made using mechanical or hybrid control.
Further details on the kiss-cut modules
Yes, this often even has the advantage of sealing the cut edges and protecting them from moisture and dirt.
Yes, with eurolaser's camera recognition system, printed films can be cut precisely along the print contours. The software automatically recognises registration marks or print patterns and compares them with the cutting data, so that deviations in the print image are reliably compensated for.
This function is ideal for advertising technology, packaging, technical films or displays where precise contours are crucial. Even with multi-layer or translucent films, the cut edge remains clean and smoke-free, without any manual alignment.
Yes, with the Conveyor System from eurolaser, films can be processed directly from the roll. The material is automatically transported from the feeding unit to the processing table, precisely positioned and automatically fed onwards after cutting – ideal for continuous or serial production.
The Guide Rail System is also available for even greater productivity. This allows several narrow rolls to be fed in parallel and cut simultaneously. Each web is guided precisely, ensuring an efficient and reproducible process.
