Compact high-performance and low-cost laser cutter
The Aeronaut Elektron Laser Z Neo is a compact high-performance and low-cost laser cutter intended for cutting and edge sealing lightweight textiles such as ripstop Nylon and light Dacrons. The Elektron Laser Z Neo is a heavy duty production machine capable of cutting in excess of 1 metre per second… a breakthrough in performance and price.
The Elektron Laser Z Neo has been designed for industries such as paraglider manufacture and prototyping, kites and sail making, where high cutting speeds and edge sealing are required on light fabrics.
Since a low power laser will cut almost anything a high power laser will cut, the Elektron Laser Z Neo can just as easily be used in a sail loft for cutting cruise weight Dacron fabric as spinnaker cloth.
Yes, on heavy fabric a low-power laser does not have the cut speed of a blade cutter but laser cutting so simple and trouble free so the operator can carry on with other jobs while the laser does its work.
Since there is no contact with the fabric with a laser, cutting is fast and very reliable. Cut patterns release cleanly. Nesting margins can be less than a millimetre. The result is big cost savings in time and fabric. Laser power can be accurately controlled for marking, perforating or kiss cutting.
Like many things, lasers have been getting smaller, lighter and cheaper over the years. These new lasers are around half the size and weight of the old lasers and have power outputs which are perfect for working with Nylon, Dacron and many other synthetics.
