Laser cutting of filters

eurolaser offers CO₂ laser cutters configured especially for textiles

Large-scale laser systems are ideally suited for the cutting of filter material. The contactless process enabled by the laser beam and the accompanying distortion-free cutting plus the high degree of precision are all decisive arguments in favor of the use of this technology. In addition the thermal laser process ensures the cut edges are sealed during the cutting of synthetic textiles. Subsequent processing is made much easier because the cut edges of the filters do not fray.

What are the benefits of cutting filter mats with laser?

  • Clean and perfect cut edges - no reworking of the filter necessary
  • No tool wear – consistently high cutting quality
  • High degree of flexibility in the choice of contours – without any need for tool construction or changeover
  • Contactless laser cutting of folded filters
  • Less cleaning required due to reduced dust formation during cutting
  • Extremely high level of precision and repeatability accuracy during cutting
  • Machining in all directions – regardless of the textile structure

What additional benefits do eurolaser CO₂ laser cutters have for cutting technical textiles?

  • High level of flexibility due to the combined cutting with knife tools and CO2 lasers on a one cutter
  • Unique choice of different table sizes – with options suitable for all standard filter sizes
  • Less waste thanks to nesting software
  • Acquisition and transmission of data from other system providers is no problem thanks to flexible software packages
  • Marking of different cuts, e.g. with sewing markings, or for the tracking of subsequent process steps in production with the options Label Module, Ink Printer Module and Ink Marker Module.
  • Conveyor system for fully-automatic laser processing directly from the roll
  • Winding unit for winding up the ready processed textiles
  • Numerous marking functions
  • Special tables for ideal positioning of the filters during laser cutting
  • Optical camera recognition for the laser cutting of printed filter mats

Material information for laser cutting of filters:

Modern filters are part of processes for separating or cleaning materials. These processes are often divided into gas, solid matter and liquid filtration. The materials used to produce the filters depend on their intended use. Filters made of technical textiles can usually be cut by laser. Cutting such fabrics with conventional methods, such as die cutting or use of a CNC plotter, is time-consuming and requires the use of forces to separate the filter material. It is also dust and cost intensive, because the cut edges often fray so that an additional edge has to be taken into the equation from the outset. The tools become blunt over time and have to be replaced which, of course, means more time and expense. Depending on the method used, the tools (cutting die) has to be produced in advance, which is where the use of laser for cutting scores due to its flexibility. The contour can be chosen freely and can be adapted in a matter of seconds.

eurolaser customers from filter processing:

SAATI Deutschland GmbH

Laser processing for high-tech filter fabrics - Saati specializes in the processing of ultra-modern technical textiles and has been using eurolaser for cutting for years.

 

FILTER - MÜLLER Reinhard Schöne e.K.

Efficient use of special solutions - With an L-3200 Conveyor, it was possible to switch from manual cutting to more efficient, automated processing.

 

Winkler GmbH

Sustainable automation of the work steps - with now 2 laser cutters, the filter manufacturer processes a wide variety of materials.

Application examples of the eurolaser CO₂ laser systems:

Foams - laser cutting of various filters

Lasers are ideal for cutting open- and closed-cell foams. Many foams are processed as filters after they have been cut.

 

Filter fleece - laser cutting of polyester

Polyester filter fleece is best cut with a laser. The automatically welded cut edges prevent fraying and save you time and money.

 

Filter mat - laser cutting of polypropylene

Filter mats made of polypropylene can be optimally cut with eurolaser. You can freely choose the desired contours and also implement filigree details with your laser cutter.

 

Protective masks - laser cutting of textiles for mouth and nose protection

The high demand for nose and mouth protection and filtering half masks is also met thanks to lasers. The laser is ideally suited for efficient filter production and offers many advantages.

We would be glad to advise you on the topic of the laser cutting of filter mats, on our laser systems and special options for filter machining.
