Laser Cutting Foam

Application Details:

Samples made of Fabric and foam were processed with 100W CW CO2 laser (10.6um) through scanning head and 300mm focusing lens. The samples were cut with the fabrics side up (foam side down). While cutting, a lot of smoke/residue is generated, therefore a strong exhaust system is needed. Multiple passes (at higher speed) instead of one was chosen in order to decrease burning of edges. The samples were cut at 100% power, in just four seconds, in four passes at a speed of 100mm per second.

Our application engineers recommended that the customer purchase the Fantom marking system equipped with a 100 watt CO2 (10.6um) laser with a focal length lens of 300mm. The Fantom F-100 CO2 Marking Systems are small enough to mount easily on a bench or small machine tool for process development, yet powerful enough to cut, weld, scribe, or mark the most difficult materials.

This unit offers 100W of power, and output wavelengths of 10.6 microns. It provides the greatest flexibility to both end-users and OEM systems integrators. This system can be easily re-configured for direct installation into a production line and can connect to external control device. It was designed for maintenance-free Direct Part Marking (DPM) applications and was built to operate under high shock, vibration and dust conditions. Additionally, the F-100 system is air-cooled and plug and play capable.
