MultiCutter Multistage 1600

The ZennaLaser MultiCutter MultiStage 1600 is a specialized laser cutting line for the production of large quantities of discs and sheets with multi-holes. The line is highly efficient as it combines the flexibility of quick product changes with the ability to cut any hole pattern in any shape on full web material, with a maximum width of 1600 mm. The MultiCutter MultiStage is the laser cutting line with the highest capacity on the market for producing discs with multiple holes. Cutting in two laser stations with multiple parallel high-power lasers is combined with patented M2-belt transport and advanced collecting robots. This combination of two laser stations, high laser power, robots, and camera (vision) systems, makes the MultiCutter MultiStage 1600 the best laser line on the market.

Advantages of the MultiCutter MultiStage


  • Very high and consistent output.
  • High level of automatisation, minimal labor required.
  • Easy switching between patterns without stopping through the use of ZocuPro software.
  • 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 MultiStage 


The unwinder continuously feeds material into the first laser station. The unique multistage laser concept includes a first laser station for cutting the large number of holes 'in free', followed by a second laser station to cut the contours. To ensure good concentricity, a vision system is mounted before the second laser phase that searches for the hole pattern and makes individual offset corrections to the laser. This also ensures that the discs are cut very closely together to reduce costly material. After cutting the contours, the trim is separated and transported into a bin or waste winder. The parts are stacked by a MultiStacker or a combination of Delta robots (optional).
