The LP8000 series of Co2 lasers from Worldwide Laser are the ideal solution for cutting your products, laser cutting systems allow for non- contact cutting of products and provide a fast easy reliable method for cutting and trimming a wide range of products. Laser cutting systems are perfectly suited for product that is held stationary while cutting or for product that moves along a line for cutting on the fly when laser cutting systems are coupled with Worldwide Laser galvo heads and on the fly laser controller software or with speedy highly accurate x-y tables, robots, rotary fixtures or other product handlers. Over the past 23 years Worldwide Laser has assisted a wide range of customers in many diverse industries with laser cutting requirements please enjoy reading about a few of those applications below:
In the first application laser cutting rubber an LP8050 50 watt Co2 laser cutting system was used to trim the edge of radiator hose the laser is a 50 watt air cooled Co2 laser cutting system with Worldwide Laser fixed beam delivery and custom laser controller software Zap-IT the laser in this case is stationary and the hose is rotated around the for cutting with a rotary fixture. The use of laser cutting in this application provides many cost saving advantages to the end user by reducing scrap rates, eliminating mechanical cutting systems that can crush the hose and that require replacement parts and sharpening, additional cost savings are achieved thru elimination of re-tooling required by mechanical cutting systems when different size hoses are presented for cutting.
In the second application an LP8050 50 watt Co2 laser cutting system was again used to cut the rubber nipples from a pad the laser cutting system utilized a 50 watt air cooled Co2 laser with galvo head and Worldwide Laser controller software the laser cutting system has a laser spot size small enough to cut the parts out of the pad completely without cutting into the next part on the pad, the use of Worldwide Lasers Co2 laser cutting system for this application provides significant advantages to the production process as die or punch cutters can be eliminated significantly reducing customer scrap rates and expenses related to maintenance and replacement of punch press cutting process.
In this application an LP8020 20 Watt Co2 laser was used to cut the top off a foam container, the laser cutting system is an air cooled Co2 laser with fix beam and x-y table to move the product with laser controller software from Worldwide Laser. The advantages for the production process are greatly increased speed for the lid cutting, no scrap of the parts caused by tearing of shredding of the foam from dull blades or cutting knifes, no scrap cased by misplaced or misaligned cuts from a mechanical cutting process as the accuracy and repeatability of the Worldwide Laser galvo laser cutting system is extremely precise and accurate +/- one micron. All these features combined provided for a significant cost savings to the customer and a greatly improved manufacturing process.
The second application is for laser cutting plastic the plastic sheet is laser cut with a 60 watt Co2 air cooled laser, Worldwide Laser fixed beam delivery, and x-y table coupled with laser controller software from Worldwide Laser. The laser cutting of this product replaced a mechanical punch and had immediate beneficial effects on the customers operations of eliminating costly mechanical punches along with the labor costs and lost production time associated with change overŐs when cutting patterns are changed or product thickness varies required for the old mechanical punch method.
In the final application today we talk about laser cutting leather which again provides significant advantages to the traditional methods of blades or punch press cutting, in this application a LP8030 30 watt Co2 laser was used to cut leather this laser cutting system utilized a 30 watt Co2 air cooled laser with Worldwide Laser fix beam delviery and laser controller software the advantages to the customer generated from the laser cutting system are significant among them are:
- significantly reduced waste as the laser cutting system provides for exact positioning of the cut and complete repeatability of the cut without any need to adjust mechanical cutting press or sharpen blades
- increased plant efficiency and reduced production costs as the speed of the laser cutting system increases thru put and the laser cutting system requires no expense for maintenance or parts after purchase for up to 5 years [30,000] hours of operations
- the laser cutting system provides the ability to change the cutting pattern with a simple click and drag command of the computer the need for expensive change over and retooling each time a different cutting pattern is required or thickness of the leather being cut changes is eliminated saving thousands of dollars in expense related to parts and production time
