Description

The f201 CO2 Laser is a cutting-edge solution designed for high-speed label kiss-cutting, offering exceptional performance and reliability. With its 10.2 μm wavelength configuration, this laser expands the range of target materials to include polypropylene-based films, which are commonly used for adhesive labels. The f201 is engineered to deliver excellent power output and stability, ensuring consistently high-quality results with every run. This makes it an ideal choice for OEMs and integrators looking to build high-speed labeling and packaging systems.

Engineered by Synrad, the f201 CO2 Laser is a high-performance tool crafted for demanding industrial environments. Its excellent power and divergence stability make it suitable for a variety of applications, including kiss-cutting multi-layer materials, scoring and perforating flexible packaging materials, and thin film welding. The laser's fully integrated design minimizes size and weight, making it perfect for mounting on robotic arms, high-speed cutting systems, or full integration onto flatbed cutting systems.

The f201 CO2 Laser is designed with user convenience in mind, featuring simple interfaces for water-cooling and control signals. Its three-point Metric/English mounting system minimizes integration time for OEMs and system integrators. Additionally, the standard gas purge maintains internal optic integrity even in harsh environments, while water cooling enhances electronic component efficiency and extends the laser's lifetime.

With more than 200 Watts of average power, the f201 CO2 Laser is robust and reliable, making it suitable for high-speed cutting and drilling applications. It is particularly effective in cutting and sealing the edges of the newest high-tech fabrics, allowing for strategically placed surface treatments that enhance breathability, ventilation, or heat retention. The laser's digital control and exceptional power stability enable detailed cuts and on-the-fly changes, reducing production downtimes associated with traditional die pattern change-overs.
