Further information on the collaboration with eurolaser
eurolaser tested the following Freudenberg Performance Materials on the laser cutting machines:
Laser test: Evolon® – types: EVO 60 PK and EVO 200 SG SP
Laser cutting of microfilament textiles
Material
Evolon® is an innovative microfilament textile from Freudenberg Performance Materials. It combines the strength of a woven fabric with the softness of a nonwoven and is breathable, absorbent, quick-drying and dimensionally stable. Typical applications include allergy-friendly bedding, cleaning cloths, technical packaging and workwear.
Test setup
The laser test was carried out on a eurolaser XL-1600 CO₂ laser cutting machine with 60 W laser power. Thanks to the vacuum table, no additional material fixation was required. The objective was precise, contactless cutting with clean edges and no post-processing.
Result
Evolon® demonstrated excellent laser cutting performance. The cut edges were precise and clean, with no fraying or residues. Contactless processing prevented material distortion and allowed a high degree of flexibility in contour design. Tool changes and post-processing were completely eliminated.
Advantages
Maximum precision.
No tool wear for low production costs.
Contactless technology for distortion-free cutting.
High flexibility in contour design.
Clean, perfect cut edges without post-processing.
