Benefits of the laser machining of aramid:
- No tool wear
- Contactless and therefore distortion-free
- Machining in all directions – regardless of the textile structure
- Precisely cut edges – no fraying
Because of the above mentioned characteristics, aramid fibres or composite materials made of aramid are mainly used in demanding safety applications. Examples of these include:
- Bullet-resistant vests
- Cut protection clothing
- Safety helmets
- Vehicle armouring
- Safety shrouds (e.g. in jet engines)
Protective vests are often made of different materials and partially also of several layers. The protection class depends on the composition, determining the protection capacity. Bullet-resistant vests are used in civil as well as military application areas (e.g. police force). For the automated cutting of aramid fabric, we recommend our laser systems with conveyor system.
