Cutting of textile - 0,1mm

[Pavel Zemanec]

Dear all,

I would like to ask you for your help / tips. We have very simple task but unfortunatelly limited budget :-(

We would need to cut from very thin textile (0,1mm) two simple shapes - see attached drawings and pictures. Required cycle time: max. 30 s / 1 cutted piece.

We tested CO2 laser - 30W and the result was good but this solution was not approved by our customer because of high costs. Would you have any tips for this task? Our idea is to cut the complete shape with some stamp where some hot wire in the required shape could be integrated. Maybe we would need to use special teflon surface in order to avoid sticking etc. Does anybody have any experience with such a solution or do you know about similar technology / application?

Thank you very much for your help

Hot die = need to stop every too often to clean the melted gunk off of everything.

If you are unwinding a web then rotary die is almost certainly the way to go.

Cnc vacuum table with knife or rotary blade. We used Gerber 12 ft x 80ft unit. We also used steel rule die with hydraulic rotary punches.
