Precise processing of self-adhesive materials

Winterhalder processes a wide range of self-adhesive and foam-based materials – from double-sided adhesive tapes and acrylic foam tapes to self-adhesive die-cut parts. Every application places specific demands on a variety of material combinations – for example in terms of demanding bonding requirements, dimensional accuracy, material protection and process reliability. Particularly when it comes to complex contours and sensitive materials, Winterhalder relies on CO2 laser cutting machines from eurolaser.

Laser cutting as the ideal solution for technical adhesive tapes

That's why Winterhalder relies on eurolaser

  • Clean cut edges without adhesive residue: The laser vaporises the material without contact, producing smooth, residue-free edges. This is ideal for precision die-cut parts and demanding technical applications.
  • No mechanical stress: Sensitive carrier materials such as films or acrylic foam are processed without pressure or blade contact. Cracks and deformation are reliably avoided.
  • Flexible contour adjustment: Design changes can be implemented digitally at any time – without tools or lengthy changeover times.
  • Resource-efficient processes: No tool wear, no cleaning effort and reduced waste ensure economical and sustainable operations.
  • High repeat accuracy: Thanks to CNC-controlled laser technology, cut quality and precision remain consistently high, even in series production.
