MultiCutter Fiber

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. It is particularly suitable for the on-the-fly production of fiber discs with a diameter of up to 235 mm and in indexing mode up to a diameter of 500 mm.

The MultiCutter Fiber can be equipped with 2, 3 or even 4 high power lasers 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.

The MultiCutter Fiber is the only production line that can cut 'disc-to-disc'. There is no waste material in between the fiber discs, improving yield, lowering waste volume and therefor offers substantial savings.


Avantages of the MultiCutter Fiber are: 


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

Process of the MultiCutter Fiber:

The fiber material is unwound from the unwinder. The fiber is pulled through the process and laser stage using the pull roll. In the laser stage, the discs and central hole are cut from the material. The Fiber Flexer removes the waste and central holes, depositing them in the waste bin beneath the flexer. The vision line camera verifies the removal of the centre hole; if not, the robot will not pick it up and the disc falls nto a re-work bin at the end of the line. The camera also determines the exact location of the discs, enabling the robots to pick them up precisely. Subsequently, the discs can be stacked on a pin carrier or on a special conveyor where they can be manually picked by an operator.
