Laser Cutting System for Plastic Extrusion.
Plastic extrusion is a manufacturing process where indefinetly long plastic products are manufactured. The extruded profiles are used in plastic window frames, linear LED strip lightning systems and as protection rails in different applications. Especially in lighting industry the products needs to be free from any cutting remains, therefore classic approach to cutting using circular saw is ruled out. In some other application the plastic profiles needs to be cut at a different angle at each profile end, further complicating manufacturing process.
In Regma d.o.o. we developed a laser based cutting machine that can make a clean cut at a desired angle between 30° and 150° on a live production line.
We modified 2D laser cutting machine by connecting it to a new CNC controller that can accept GRBL command. Then we modified software on our existing Cutting System V2 to calculate necessary cutting paths based on user input settings and production speed. The CNC controller and Cutting System V2 are connected using UART.
