MultiCutter Fiber 1700

The ZennaLaser MultiCutter Fiber is a laser cutting system specifically designed for cutting high volumes of fiber discs, ranging from coarse P24 to fine P200 grits. The production line is configured to convert fiber materials into discs with diameters ranging from 100 mm to 235 mm, featuring a centre hole of or star hole with 6 cuts of 16 mm or 22 mm. 

The MultiCutter Fiber is the only production line that can cut 'disc-to-disc'. There is no trim in between the fiber discs, improving the material yield significantly up to 10%, lowering waste volume and disposal cost.

The MultiCutter Fiber can be equipped with two, three or even four high power lasers of 2.5 kWatt for output > 300 discs/minute. There is a special Fiber Flexer to separate the fiber discs from the center holes and waste between the discs. 

Additionally, there is a robot stacking module with Delta robots, Vision cameras, and conveyors to stack the discs on pins or in boxes. This makes the MultiCutter Fiber a highly automated production line.



Advantages of the MultiCutter Fiber: 


  • 'Disc-to-disc' cutting significantly reduces waste.
  • High and consistent edge quality.
  • Switching between patterns without the need to stop the production line.
  • No wearing parts such as blades compared to a die-cutting system.
  • Automatically creating stacks using a robot saves labour cost.
  • Through nearly automated laser line, OEE increases compared to traditional methods.

Process description of the MultiCutter Fiber:


The MultiCutter Fiber is configured with a laser cutting station with 3 (or 4) 2.5 KW lasers, where the material is fed in from a double unwinder and a splice station with motorized knife. After cutting the fiber discs transported through the Fiber Flexer for removing center holes and edge waste. Fiber discs are forwarded on a conveyor for manual or (optional) robot collecting. Material transport and air flow control in the cutting station are some of the aspects, specially engineered for converting coarse grid fiber material. The lasers, chiller and electro cabinets are positioned aside the line, whereas a platform for placing these components is an option.

The powerful software package ZennaPRO includes a CAD module to draw shapes or import existing AutoCad .dxf drawings and transfer these into laser files.
