The goal of the laser test
Automated processing of robust PPE fabrics directly from the roll
We tested a selection of different INVENTEX® variants based on Kevlar®, Nomex®, Twaron® and Panox® fabrics for processing with our laser cutters. In consultation with INVENTEX®, attention was paid to the following requirements:
- Directly sealed, tear-resistant cut edges
- Clean processing procedure without smoke residue on the material
- Distortion-free cutting even with filigree contours
- Automated processing directly from the roll
- Engraving as a permanent marking option

Test result:
10 out of 14 materials show excellent results
In our extensive processing tests, we took a closer look at the 14 variants of INVENTEX®. For ten materials, we can award the rating "excellently suitable" without any restrictions. The cutting edges are of outstanding quality, without any smoke residue and could be directly sealed. Two variants can be rated "very well suited". Here, there are slight smoke traces on the aramide layer that cannot be removed. The other two materials are "well suited" for laser processing. Here, post-processing steps for edge sealing are necessary in some cases.
Additional benefits of cutting INVENTEX® materials with eurolaser systems:
- Completely non-contact machining process without fabric distortion
- Optimal cut quality even with protective coating
- No downtimes thanks to eliminated tool changes
- Optional: Nesting for material savings
- Optional: Camera recognition for contour-accurate cutting
- Optional: Marking modules for labeling and inscription
