Laser Cutting of Kevlar and Aramid
Laser Cutting Solutions for Kevlar (Aramid)
Goldenlaser offers specialist CO₂ laser cutting machines to facilitate the cutting process of Kevlar and Aramid based products in the production procedure.
Applicable Laser Processing for Kevlar (Aramid) – Laser Cutting
Kevlar and aramid are difficult to cut using conventional machining methods because of their thermal and mechanical properties. Cutting of Kevlar and aramid with conventional methods results in poor end-product quality and excessive specific energy requirement for machining. However, laser machining has considerable advantages over the conventional methods due to precision and rapid processing.
As a modern cutting tool, laser cutting machine offers the advantages of a high-quality end product, operational precision and a high degree of flexibility, resulting in very well accepted in the textile and industrial sectors. Cutting through Kevlar with CO2 laser cutter is very doable. Laser cutting is contactless and, unlike knives or blades, the laser beam is always sharp and does not dull, thus ensuring consistent cut quality. The heat generated by the laser during the cutting of Kevlar seals the edges and eliminates fraying.
