MultiCutter MT1500

The ZennaLaser MultiCutter MT1500 is a highly productive laser machine for processing an enormous variety of shapes and hole patterns, including multi-holes. This MultiCutter is engineered to accurately cut shapes in many different materials such as films, textiles, abrasives, or paper.

The MultiCutter is equiped with multiple high power lasers. Two, three or four lasers up to six work parallel, depending on the required output. The laser sources are often placed on a platform above the line, in order to keep the needed floor space limited.

Due to its modular setup, the MultiCutter can be configurated with different unwinders (single, duo, turret), multiple robots for stacking parts and camera systems for high accuracy and quality control. These possibilities ensure a high degree of automation, one of the main drivers for using laser technology.

The MultiCutter MT1500 is based on a material width of 1.500 mm, typical for sandpaper abrasives. But different width lines are also available from 1.000 mm up to 3.000 mm in textile (see Falcon series).

This type of MultiCutter line combines proven technologies of existing Zenna laser lines with latest innovations. One of them is the optional feature "MultiTask", that allows to cut both hole-patterns 'in free' and contours 'supported' in one laser station. MultiTasking (MT) makes a very efficient use of available laser power and enlarges the product portfolio with 'multi-hole' patterns.




Advantages of the MultiCutter MT1500


  • The production of multi-holes is possible in both small quantities and large volumes.
  • Producing and stacking into stacks of 10, 25, 50 pieces
  •  A high degree of automation leads to minimal remaining labour.
  • The ability to achieve very fast changeover times translates to higher OEE.
  • By cutting with precision and closely aligning the pieces, waste is reduced.


Process description of the MultiCutter MT1500


A roll of material is loaded onto the unwinder and guided to the splice table, where it is taped to create a splice with the remaining material. The desired pattern is selected on the HMI but can also be scanned with an optional scanner. The material, transported on a vacuumed conveyor (M2-belt). In the first laser section, holes are cut 'in free', with waste collected in a drum below the stage. The second section involves cutting shapes and contours on the M2-belt. A bull bar separates waste from the cut disks, after which the disks are moved to the final section of the process using the M2-belt. Cut discs can be manually collected or picked up by a robot to stack on a separate conveyor, making it easy for an operator to retrieve them. Optionally, a camera system can be added to significantly increase accuracy.
