Flat Bed Laser Cutting Systems

fb1500.gif (27405 bytes)

Designed to cut virtually every type of material, the Flat Bed Laser Cutter range work with leather, suede, denim, twill, polyester, felt and interlining plus flock, silk, vinyl, acrylic sheet, paper, card, plastic, cork, plywood and gaskets.

The Flat Bed Laser range utilises the latest technology to produce the cleanest and most accurate cuts ever at a fraction of the cost of conventional cutting processes, and unlike blade driven systems, there is no deterioration in quality of cut, with the laser producing identical results time and time again.

Cutting at speeds of up to four times faster than conventional methods.

Infinitely complex shapes, sharp angles and tight radius turns are cut accurately and quickly, enabling very intricate designs to be produced and because the laser seals the edges of the fabric as it cuts, fraying and unraveling are minimised.

Optional extras:

  • Auto Fabric Feeder - Enables rolls of fabric to be fed through the laser unit. Enough fabric is fed to fulfill cutting the design.
  • Optical Recognition System - Camera system used to find registration marks when cutting pre-woven or embroidered designs.
  • Beam Expander - Laser units with a collimated beam enable the laser to produce a cleaner, finer cut.

Lasers with 25W beams enable thicker materials to be cut and will cut ordinary materials at a higher speed.

CUT A VAST RANGE OF MATERIALS - UP TO 25 mm THICK
All of the FB range can take materials up to 25 mm thick - the long focal length of the laser beam means that clean, accurate cutting can be achieved on a wide range of materials including:

  • Acrylic, acetate and several other plastics
  • Paper, card and wood
  • Leather and suede
  • Fabrics from silk to denim
  • Signmaking materials including self-adhesive films, reflective and retro-reflective materials
  • Veneer for marquetry
  • Polyester sheeting for stencils

HOW IT WORKS
A fine, clean, accurate depth of cut is achieved by software controlled adjustment of both the cutting speed and the power output of the laser. The control of cutting is so accurate, you can even etch onto paper.
A cross-flow extraction system draws away the fumes by sending a flow of air across the bed during cutting. To achieve a clean cut edge, an irrigation system is attached to the cutting head which sends a stream of air or inert gas to the point of cut.
The FB Laser Cutting Systems use sealed CO2 water cooled lasers and are certified Class 1 laser products, being interlocked and fully enclosed while cutting.

OPTIONS:

OPTOCUT - ELECTRONIC OPTICAL RECOGNITION SYSTEM

The Electronic optical system is a software controlled electronic micro camera which:

  • Picks up registration marks on pre-printed or woven materials.
  • Checks for stretch or distortion.
  • Automatically adjusts the outline before cutting.

ROLL FEED UNIT

Automatically feeds rolled material through the cutting bed.

FEED TRAY SYSTEM

Allows loading and unloading of material while the laser continues to cut, It effectively doubles the size of the machine bed.
