Increase in filter production quantities

In 2017, Fil­ter-Mül­ler, a com­pa­ny spe­cia­li­sing in high-qua­li­ty fil­ter so­lu­tions, swit­ched from ma­nu­al pro­ces­sing to au­to­ma­ted la­ser pro­ces­sing. By im­ple­men­ting the L-3200 cut­ting ma­chi­ne with Con­vey­or Sys­tem, sig­ni­fi­cant im­prove­ments were a­chie­ved. High re­peat ac­cu­ra­cy, in­crea­sed pro­duc­tion vo­lu­mes and the au­to­ma­tion of ma­ny work steps con­tri­bu­te to grea­ter ef­fi­ci­en­cy in pro­duc­tion. To­day, eu­ro­la­ser is an in­te­gral part of ma­nu­fac­tu­ring at Fil­ter-Mül­ler.

The challenge facing Filter-Müller

Increasing demands for flexible filter solutions

In the further development of its products and manufacturing processes, Filter-Müller was confronted with new requirements. The growing demand for precisely fitting customised solutions required flexible and efficient processing of the broad product range. The company was therefore looking for a technology that would enable both the cost-effective processing of series production and the implementation of individual, one-off solutions.

eurolaser solution: L-3200 with Conveyor System

Automated cutting of roll material

eu­ro­la­ser has de­vel­oped a so­lu­tion for Fil­ter-Mül­ler that meets the spe­ci­fic re­quire­ments: the L-3200 cut­ting ma­chine with Con­vey­or Sys­tem. As the fil­ter ma­te­ri­als are sup­plied as roll goods, the Con­vey­or Sys­tem en­a­bles ef­fi­cient and au­to­ma­ted cut­ting di­rect­ly from the roll. Par­tic­u­lar­ly con­vin­cing is the high re­peat ac­cu­ra­cy – one cut part is i­den­ti­cal to the next.

Com­pared to oth­er pro­cess­ing tools, la­ser ma­chi­nes al­so of­fer a high de­gree of flex­i­bil­i­ty in terms of con­tours and batch si­zes. This al­lows e­ven ve­ry small se­ries and pro­to­types to be pro­duced ef­fi­cient­ly.

Sustainable increase in productivity

By switching from largely manual processing to laser technology, Filter-Müller was able to reduce time- and cost-intensive work steps. Automated processes significantly accelerate the cutting of roll material and increase the efficiency of the entire production process.

Today, the company is able to produce larger quantities quickly and cost-effectively while opening up new customer segments. At the same time, the error rate has been significantly reduced. The robust laser system has sustainably increased the added value in production and is now an integral part of the manufacturing process.
