The non-contact process of laser cutting results in no tool wear, eliminating the downtime for changing or resharpening of tools required by traditional blade or knife cutting. Laser cutting offers a high degree of precision, consistency, control, and flexibility needed in the textile industry for cutting industrial filters, airbags, tarpaulins, luggage and leather goods, footwear, automotivs goods, woven or non-woven (synthetic) fabrics. Laser cutting of synthetic woven or fibrous materials also carry the advantage of sealed (welded) or smooth-edge finishes, which do not demonstrate the fraying typical of cutting by mechanical means. Layers can be welded as well and parameter settings coordinate process speed and weld strength. Diffuse gas assist can prevent discoloration and charring of cut edges for most materials. Different sizes and grades of automation offer solutions which can be tailored to meet specific customer needs, and integrated into existing production environments.
