The paper processing process usually runs at very high speeds, and roll to roll laser cutting machines sometimes reach speeds of up to 400m/min. Laser cutting achieves the cutting effect by vaporizing the surface of paper. Therefore, paper and card materials respond well to the wavelength range of carbon dioxide (CO2) laser, and the cutting process is fast and reliable. Therefore, their cutting effect is also relatively good.
Compared with traditional processing methods, laser cutting machines have high accuracy, fast cutting speed, are not limited to cutting patterns, automatic layout saves materials, smooth incisions, reduces cutting material loss, good processing quality, and low production costs. They will gradually improve or replace traditional cutting equipment, and are favored by many printing and processing enterprises.
The above image shows that the speed of laser paper cutting is proportional to the laser power, so doubling the processing speed usually requires twice the power. It also indicates that based on the composition and weight of the paper, the cutting speed at a wavelength of 9.3 µ m is 20% faster than that of a 10.6 µ m laser.
Using laser drilling technology, there is no need for contact processing, and whether it is cutting or drilling, the surface is very clean and smooth. Specially designed for processes such as drilling circular holes, square holes, hexagonal holes, irregular holes, single holes, group holes, and micro holes, its drilling speed is faster and accuracy is high.
In addition, laser technology can easily and accurately cut complex designs, and designs can be easily changed or modified. The non-contact nature of this process means that exquisite designs, such as those required for greeting cards and exquisite stationery, will not deform or deform during the cutting process.
