Laser cutting of films using the roll-to-roll process

The precise and economical processing of films plays a key role in industrial production - especially in high-tech sectors such as electronics, medical technology and automotive. One of the most innovative technologies in this area is laser cutting using the roll-to-roll process, in which the material - thin plastic, metal or composite films - is continuously unwound from a roll, processed and then wound up again. Laser cutting enables contact-free, high-precision cuts, even with the finest structures or sensitive materials. Advantages of laser cutting using the R2R processHighest precision: Micro cuts down to the sub-millimetre range are possible without any problems - ideal for electronic components, sensors or medical components.
Non-contact & wear-free: No tool contact means less mechanical stress and no tool wear.
Flexibility in contour design: Geometries can be adapted quickly and without mechanical changes.
High process speed: The continuous material feed enables fast cycle times - even for complex patterns.
Clean cut edges: No fraying or smouldering as with mechanical processes.
Variety of materials: From PET and polyimide to metallised films - almost any type of material is suitable.

Some typical applications:

Flexible printed circuit boards and circuits
Carrier films for microcomponents
Masks and cover films in medical technology
Touch sensors and displays
Sealing films for automotive applications
