Laser cutting is gradually replacing traditional knife cutting. Unlike most non-metallic materials, insulation materials require optimal functionality and durability. To meet the requirements of superior thermal efficiency, high strength, low weight and low shrinkage at excessive temperatures, insulation materials are very complex in composition or, more specifically, difficult to cut. Our research and technical team invented special laser cutting machines with sufficient power.

With the laser cutting machines developed by Lyser Laser, textiles and composite materials can be produced efficiently in the insulation and protection industry for almost all products, regardless of the size and dimensions of the product. When cutting, the laser cutting process seals all edges of the composite material, which tend to wear and come apart. In turn, this process prevents future wear and ensures the reliability of the product.

 Laser cutting of insulating materials

Insulating materials are used in a wide range of different applications:

Reciprocating engines, turbines and steam turbines, pipe insulation, engine compartments, industrial insulation, marine insulation, aerospace insulation, automotive insulation, sound insulation systems, exhaust systems, etc.

 Laser cutting of insulating materials2

Main insulating materials for laser cutting:

Glass fiber, mineral wool, cellulose, natural fibers, polystyrene, polyisocyanurate, polyurethane, vermiculite and perlite, urea-formaldehyde foam, cement foam, phenolic foam, insulation finishes, etc.

 Laser cutting of glass fiber

Advantages of laser cutting:

High precision and excellent tolerance levels;

Creation of highly complex geometries;

Smoother edges and cleaner cut finishes;

Cost savings - no consumable blade wear costs;

Fast turnaround - rapid production of custom-shaped parts without waiting for tooling;

No tool wear - the laser cutting process can be easily repeated with the same high level of precision.
