Laser cutting of insulating and protective materials

Laser cutting is gradually replacing traditional knife cutting. Unlike most non-metallic materials, insulation materials require optimal functionality and durability. In order to meet excellent thermal efficiency, high strength, low weight and low shrinkage at excessive temperatures, the composition of insulation materials is very complex, or more specifically difficult to cut. Our research and technology team invented special laser cutting machines with sufficient power.

Laser cutting machines developed by LASEYER enable efficient production of textiles and composite materials for almost all products in the insulation and protection industry, regardless of the size and dimensions of the product. When cutting, the laser cutting process seals all edges of synthetic materials that are prone to fraying and unraveling. In turn, this process prevents future wear and ensures product reliability.

Insulation materials are widely used in different applications:

Reciprocating engines, turbines and steam turbines, pipe insulation, engine compartments, industrial insulation, marine insulation, aerospace insulation, automotive insulation, sound insulation systems, exhaust systems, etc.

Main insulating materials for laser cutting:

Glass fiber, mineral wool, cellulose, natural fiber, polystyrene, polyisocyanurate, polyurethane, vermiculite and perlite, urea-formaldehyde foam, cement foam, phenolic foam, insulating facing, etc.

Benefits of Laser Cutting:

High precision and excellent tolerance levels;

Create highly complex geometries;

Smoother edges and cleaner cut finishes;

Cost savings - no consumable blade wear costs;

Fast turnaround - quickly make custom-shaped parts without waiting for tools;

No tool wear - the laser cutting process can be easily repeated with the same high precision.
