Further CO2 laser cutter for the processing of PMMA (Altuglas)
eurolaser has now taken a closer look at Altuglas. The material was tested in the in-house application laboratory with regard to the properties during laser processing.
Benefits of cutting Altuglas PMMA with CO₂ lasers:
- Brilliant, smooth and clear cut edges
- Laser cutting without clamping or fixing
- No acrylic chips - less dirt and cleaning effort
- Cutting and engraving in one operation
- Highest precision and practically radius-free laser cutting of inner contours with almost all acrylic glass thicknesses
- No tool wear and therefore consistently high cutting quality
Scope of application
Due to its properties, Altuglas is used for many different markets. That includes architecture and construction, automotives, electronics, consumer goods and medical products. The possible uses range from the usage as sneeze-guards, in doors and windows up to furniture and consumer goods. Altuglas is available in different widths, thicknesses and color variants in order to provide the right solution for every need.
eurolaser processing test
eurolaser has now taken a closer look at Altuglas® PMMA. In our own application laboratory, the material was tested for properties during laser processing.
In the eurolaser application laboratory, the PMMA material was tested in thicknesses of 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm and 8 mm. The processing tests have shown that Altuglas® can be perfectly cut and engraved with our CO2 laser systems. Altuglas® was cut with the same parameters known to us for acrylic processing, so that when using this material no or hardly any adjustments in the process are necessary.
