Leather is a premium material that has been used for centuries. Leather has been used for a multitude of purposes throughout history but also exists in modern fabrication processes. Laser cutting is one of many ways to produce leather designs. Leather has proven to be a good medium for laser cutting and engraving. This article describes a non-contact, rapid, and high-precision laser system for cutting leather.
With the progress of society and the development of science and technology, leather products are more and more widely used in various applications. Leather products play an indispensable role in daily life, such as clothing, shoes, bags, wallets, gloves, sandals, fur hats, belts, watch straps, leather cushions, car seats and steering wheel covers, etc. Leather products are creating unlimited commercial value.
Laser cutting popularity increases
In recent years, due to the wide application and popularization of lasers, leather laser cutting machine use also rose at this time. High-energy, high-power-density carbon-dioxide (CO2) laser beams can process leather rapidly, efficiently, and continuously. Laser cutting machines employ digital and automatic technology, which provides the capability of hollowing out, engraving and cutting in the leather industry.
The advantages of using CO2 laser cutting machines in the leather industry are obvious. Compared with traditional cutting methods, laser cutting has the benefits of low cost, low consumption, no mechanical pressure on the workpiece, high precision and high speed. Laser cutting also has the advantages of safe operation, simple maintenance, and continuous operation of processing.
