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. Typical basic materials include textile fabric, paper and even metal. Filters made of technical textiles are usually used for laser cutting. Cutting such fabrics with conventional methods, such as die cutting or use of a CNC plotter, are time-consuming and require the use of forces to separate the filter material. They are 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.
