Automated cutting
This year, the cutting of textiles on the L-1200 and 3XL-3200 systems will be demonstrated live on-site. The focus is on automation for Industry 4.0.

The emphases of the exhibition will be on the automatic feeding of textiles from the roll, on the cutting of printed textiles including the camera and QR code recognition as well as on the labelling of the individual pieces in a single operation
eurolaser has “revolutionised” large-format textile processing with the laser cutting machine 3XL-3200 (working surface: 3.210 mm x 3.200 mm). With the Conveyor system, eurolaser delivers a market proven solution especially for the automated processing of textiles. For this purpose, a special table concept is used. It consists of a stainless steel rod mesh and is particularly suitable for thin and flexible materials, such as textiles. It serves as a material carrier for the processing and at the same time as a transport element for the conveyor system. The material is fed via an automatic feeding unit. The automatic edge control of the feeding unit ensures a constant material alignment and thus, continuously precise high quality cuts – meter by meter. Due to the automated material feed while relieving the operator, the load factor increases. With sensors, the unwinding unit is controlled so that the previously defined position on the work surface is exactly maintained. This ensures optimal material utilisation and less material waste.
The material is fed directly from the roll by the conveyor belt to the laser system and processed there. The stress-free material feed does not cause any fabric distortion and the non-contact processing by the laser leads to excellent results.
Next to the laser, eurolaser systems can be equipped with additional modules such as a label module for applying labels and an ink-printer module for printing. For example, a direct labelling eases the assignment of individual textile blanks for downstream production steps. On the L-1200, the advantages of the combination of laser and labelling modules are shown by the example of cutting all the individual parts of a card case made from two-ply cordura fabric. Alongside the advantages of large-format, automated textile processing by laser are demonstrated on the 3XL-3200.
