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?

Sealing of the edges of synthetic materials

Extremely high accuracy, even for small details

No textile distortion – thanks to contactless processing

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

Filters are very often made of technical textiles which, depending on the material, are well suited for laser cutting

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.
