Laser die cutting is capable of handling a wide range of materials, including polyester, paper, abrasives, textiles, foam, rubber, neoprene, PET, and more. It is especially specialized in cutting reflective film, which cannot be achieved with knife cutters. While knives are traditionally used for glass fiber materials, they require frequent replacements, leading to increased costs and reduced productivity.
The reflective heat transfer film laser die cutting process involves several precise steps, each offering significant benefits. First, the film roll is unwound and guided to ensure proper alignment. The protective film on the surface of the material is peeled off and reserved for later use in lamination. The laser die cutting, or kiss cutting, is performed on-the-fly, cutting the film into desired shapes without cutting through the backing material. This laser cutting method provides high precision and allows for intricate designs, ensuring clean edges and reducing waste. The peeled film is then used for laminating the cut material, enhancing its durability and maintaining the reflective properties. Following this, the waste matrix, or excess material, is removed and discarded. Finally, the finished product is rewound onto a roll, ready for further processing or shipment. The overall process ensures efficiency, accuracy, and high-quality results.
