What are the benefits of cutting polypropylene with laser?
- Clean and perfect cut edges - no reworking necessary
- No material fixation necessary – thanks to the vacuum table
- No cleaning of the knives necessary - no parts stick after cutting
- No tool wear so therefore consistently high cutting quality
- High degree of flexibility in the choice of contours – without any need for tool construction or changeover
What additional benefits do eurolaser CO₂ laser cutters offer?
- High level of flexibility due to the combined cutting with knife toolsand CO2 lasers on a one cutter
- Unique choice of different table sizes – suitable for all standard sizes
- Efficient automation functions for optimum utilization of the laser system
- Special tables for ideal positioning of the material during laser cutting
- Optical camera recognition for the laser cutting of printed polypropylene
- Conveyor system for fully-automatic laser processing of textiles directly from the roll
- Processing of very large formats thanks to seamless continuation of cutting
- Large-format engravings over the entire working area
Material information for the laser cutting of polypropylene:
Polypropylene (PP) is harder, more rigid and more solid than polyethylene. It is one of the most popular materials for products of everyday use. Technical textiles and foils, filter inserts or padding for furniture and car seats are made of polypropylene. This material can be cut extremely well with laser. The cut edges are always burr-free and of the highest quality. In particular 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 laser technology for processing polypropylene.
Application examples for the cutting of polypropylene with eurolaser CO₂ laser systems:
- KömaLite ® - polypropylene honeycomb panels undergoing laser testing
- Filter material – laser cutting of technical textiles
Names often used for polypropylene:
PP, Inspire ®, Nepol ®, Xmod ®, Bicor ®, Hicor ®, Vestolen P ®, Polyfill ®, Topilene ®, Eltex ®, Sequel ®, Ontex ®, Tatren ®, Novolen ®, Profax ®, KömaLite ®
