Laser Cutting Vinyl

Application Details:

Laser cutting of MagX vinyl laminated magnetic sheeting: Flexible magnetic sheets with three kinds of thicknesses of 0.006”, 0.020” and 0.030” were cut using a 20-watt Laser Photonics BlackStar Fiber Laser. The strips with 5.5” x 2” were cut using 18 watts of power and frequency of 20 kHz. Partially cuts, i.e., only cut through the black magnetic layer were made in the middle of the strips. Depending on the thickness of the samples, the cutting speeds were set at different values. The cut strips were cleaned with tissue paper to remove the black residue.

Recommended Laser Systems:

Laser Photonics is proud to introduce, the First High Power Fiber Laser Precision Tool, the LINK PLCS. The Link PLCS will help quicken production time and lower manufacturing costs. This system can achieve a level of quality and detail that is unprecedented in the industry for laser cutting and engraving. It has a granite base and can perform effective N2, AR or O2 gas assist cutting under pressures of up to 250 psi. Due to its direct drive motor with integrated software control, the LINK PLCS preserves a large amount of detail when cutting and engraving.
