Make explanations on your curiosity of laser technology

If you have never operated laser cutting equipment before, you may have numerous questions regarding laser processing. You can find answers to many frequently asked questions in our FAQ section. Should you fail to locate the information you need, please feel free to contact us. We are pleased to offer professional support.

  • LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Unlike ordinary scattered light, laser light is coherent, monochromatic and highly collimated. Inside the laser source, energy excites atoms, which release photons with identical wavelength and phase. These photons bounce back and forth within the resonant cavity to stimulate more atoms to emit light, amplifying the light energy continuously. Finally, a concentrated, high-energy light beam is output.
    For our CO₂ laser cutting machines, this focused laser beam generates localized heat upon materials to complete non-contact cutting, engraving and perforating (punching), delivering clean, consistent cutting edges.
  • CO₂ laser is dedicated to non‑metal processing, supporting fabrics, papers, acrylic, films, tapes, leather and more for cutting, perforation and engraving. Modern CO₂ lasers are hermetically sealed, maintenance-free and do not consume any laser gas, which makes them extremely durable and reliable.
  • They differ in service life, laser output speed, price and cooling method. The CO₂ DC tube has a service life of around 3 months with relatively slow laser output. It is cost‑effective yet only supports water cooling.
    In contrast, the CO₂ RF tube features a service life of approximately 20,000 hours and delivers fast laser output. Though it comes at a higher cost, it supports both water cooling and air cooling options.
  • Thanks to the machine’s modular design, the system can be disassembled into several individual units. In most cases, a standard forklift is sufficient to unload the machine from the transport vehicle.
  • Several preparations are required on-site. First, reserve sufficient floor space matching the machine dimension, and keep the ground flat and solid. Second, provide stable power supply complying with machine specifications. For water‑cooled models, prepare qualified cooling water and water circulation facilities. In addition, proper exhaust ventilation system is mandatory to remove fumes generated during laser processing. Make sure the site has access for forklift unloading, and assign trained operators for subsequent commissioning.
  • Yes, we offer comprehensive operator training. Training covers machine operation, parameter setting, material testing, routine maintenance and basic troubleshooting. It can be conducted on‑site at your facility, or delivered via online remote guidance. Customers may arrange their technical staff to receive training. Please note that expenses for on‑site training shall be borne by the buyer.
  • We provide long‑term after‑sales support, including remote technical guidance, spare parts supply and video troubleshooting. Within the warranty period, we offer free replacement for defective standard components caused by quality issues. After warranty expires, we still provide cost‑effective spare parts and lifelong technical consultation.
  • Yes. By adjusting the laser output power, our laser die-cutting system supports both kiss cutting and full die-cutting. Kiss cutting only slices the top material without penetrating the liner, while full die-cutting cuts through the entire material layer, meeting roll-to-piece stickers processing requirements.
  • Proper parameter setting greatly reduces edge yellowing and burning. Our laser systems allow precise control over laser power and cutting speed to deliver clean edges for most films and tapes. Some sensitive thin materials may require pre-tests to optimize cutting parameters.
  • It can avoid liner damage with precise depth control via laser power regulation. For kiss-cut jobs, the laser only cuts the face material and stops above the liner. Material testing is advised to calibrate parameters for different liners. And we have another model ideal for zero-damage of backing layer. If you need high-quality processing, please have a look of our LC520B / LC350B.
  • Our CO₂ laser cutting system for automotive industry is specially adapted for common automotive non-metallic materials, including airbag fabrics (nylon, polyester, silicone-coated fabric), automotive interior textiles, nonwovens, foams, insulation composites and adhesive protective films.
  • Yes. The system can be designed with galvanometer laser, and supports both cutting and perforation of multi-layer composite interior materials. Proper parameter tuning helps reduce delamination, melting residue and edge discoloration during processing.
  • Our standard positioning accuracy reaches ±0.1 mm, which satisfies strict tolerance requirements for automotive airbag blanks. Therefore, the actual finished accuracy is affected by fabric tension, feeding stability and environmental conditions of the production workshop. So we need pre-test to optimize cutting parameters.
  • The visual positioning system is highly adaptable to various printed and patterned flexible materials, including printed fabrics, dye-sublimation fabrics, tackle twill, etc. It is especially suitable for materials requiring high-precision graphic contour cutting.
  • The visual laser cutting system integrates an industrial camera, image recognition software and laser control system. The camera captures real-time material images, automatically identifies printed marks, contours and material positions, and transmits data to the laser system. The laser head will automatically follow the graphic path to complete accurate cutting, realizing fully visual intelligent processing without manual positioning.
