Laser cutting, laser engraving and laser marking of polyimide, Kapton©
A versatile material used in many technical applications
- Now also with the economical CO2 laser: perfect cuts – no reworking
- Minimum oxide formation thanks to our new nozzle and exhaust concept
- Precision in a range up to 2/100 mm with an optimum price-performance ratio
- Complete extraction and filtering of the cutting emissions possible
- No material fixation required due to contact-free and force-free processing
- Open software structure (file formats e.g. dxf, ai, pdf)
- Perfectly accurate laser cutting, in particular for printed materials thanks to our optical recognition system
- No flaking of the material as is the case with punching
- No need to clean tools, no additional tool costs
- Parts not stick after cutting
You can cut, engrave or mark materials like polyimide excellently with the laser machine M-1200.

Material information
Polyimides are often used in the form of thin, semi-transparent flexible circuit boards but also for the isolation layers of energy storage cells and for insulation applications in alternative energy technologies. Polyimide is also used in fibre form for filtering gases. Its outstanding material properties and high temperature resistance make both extremely low and high temperature applications possible (-256° to 400°C), the reason it is so widely used in the aerospace sector. Kapton films can be laminated, metallized or coated with adhesives. Laser processing generally takes place after the electronic components are mounted and often in combination with other substrates or films.
