Glass fibre, fibreglass - laser cutting, laser engraving, laser marking with CO2 lasers
Very high quality, mainly as a fibre-plastic compound
- No forces acting on the material - therefore no mechanical stressing
- Can be machined, also if uneven thanks to tactile focus material guidance
- Complete extraction and filtering of the cutting emissions possible
- Cutting of very different material thicknesses and combinations in a single step
- Fusing of the cut edges, therefore no pre-working and rework
Especially with the laser system 3XL-3200 Conveyor cutting and marking of fiberglass is working excellent.

Material information
Glass fibres are used for thermal and sound insulation, for woven textile fabrics and as glass fibre reinforced plastics. Although glass fibre reinforced plastics are very cost-effective they are still a high quality fibre-plastic compound. In applications where very high mechanical stresses are present, glass fibre reinforced plastics are used exclusively as continuous fibres in woven fabrics or in uni-directional tapes. Compared with fibre-plastic compounds made with other reinforcing fibres, glass fibre reinforced plastic has a relatively low modulus of elasticity. Even in the direction of the fibre, it is less than that of aluminium. One advantage of glass fibre in combination with a compatible plastic matrix is its high breaking elongation and elastic energy absorption. Even in an aggressive environment, glass fibre reinforced plastic has excellent corrosion behaviour. This makes it a suitable material for containers in plant construction or for boat hulls as well.
