CO2 lasers are
ideally suited
for acrylic
cutting, such as
for applications
like signage,
displays and
other
presentation
items. The
laser can
provide flame
polished edges
without the need
for
post-processing.
Successful
acrylic cutting
depends on a
variety of
factors. This
includes the
material itself,
the type of CO2
laser used and
the power of the
laser.
The power
setting used is
relative to the
formulation of
the acrylic
material,
thickness of the
acrylic and the
desired
throughput of
the machine. In
general terms,
the higher the
output power the
faster you can
cut the
material.

The i-Cut®
Vision
registration-mark
recording and
cut-path
compensation
system
recognizes
distortions in
printed
materials and
precisely aligns
the cut path. It
is indispensable
in the acrylic
industry, to
avoid the waste
of valuable
materials and
for accurate
cutting results
with printed
acrylic.
