CO₂ laser machines for cutting airbag fabric and OPW material
What are the benefits of laser cutting airbag and one-piece-woven materials?
Whether conventional airbag cut parts or large-format one-piece woven structures: outer contours, cut-outs and functional openings must be produced with high precision. With OPW materials, precise alignment with the already woven-in structures is also essential. The CO₂ laser cuts contactlessly and reproducibly – without mechanical tool wear. With suitable synthetic airbag fabrics, the cut edges are thermally sealed directly during the cutting process.
Cut & Seal: Cutting and sealing synthetic fabrics in a single operation
Contactless: No tool wear for consistently high cutting quality
Precision: Cutting intricate details even with complex contours
Automated processing of wide airbag and OPW materials directly from the roll
Precise continuation of cutting contours beyond the working area
Camera-assisted alignment of cutting contours with defined material features
Efficient material utilisation through software-assisted nesting of conventional airbag cut parts
Flexible processing of changing contours and airbag variants without tool changes
Integration of sewing markings, registration marks and component information into the production workflow
Support for common CAD and vector data for digital laser cutting
Modular integration into existing production and automation processes
Applications for laser cutting airbag and OPW materials
Applications of our laser cutting machines in industrial airbag production
Depending on the type of airbag, flat-woven airbag fabrics or preformed one-piece woven materials are processed. Roll widths, contour sizes, cut-outs and positioning requirements vary accordingly. The CO₂ laser is suitable for both conventional airbag cut parts and the precise processing of large-format OPW structures.

- Large-format segments: Process long canopy panels and large individual segments efficiently and precisely.
- Optimal material utilisation: Arrange different segment geometries efficiently using nesting to save space and reduce material consumption.
- Less waste: Depending on the application, reduce waste material by up to 70% compared with the previous cutting process.
- Printed & patterned materials: Precisely align cutting contours with printed designs, patterns or markings using camera-assisted recognition.
- Lightweight fabrics: Contactless cutting without mechanical stress on flexible ripstop and synthetic fabrics.
- Marking for subsequent processes: Apply sewing lines, registration marks or component information directly to simplify identification and further processing.
- Flexible CAD data: Produce new contours and cutting patterns directly from digital data – ideal for variants, prototypes and different types of parachutes.
- Roll material & automation: Configure material handling and the level of automation to suit roll width, component size, material and process requirements.
