Food Processing Equipment Manufacturers Cutting Production Steps with Fiber Laser Systems

As demand increases in the food processing machinery industry, so does the need to use technology to find more efficient ways to manufacture the processing machines. Most of the equipment for the food processing machinery industry is made from thin stainless steel which is cut and then processed. Some examples of these machines are drum mixers, industrial filters, slicers, food crushers and much more. There are two main challenges for these manufacturers, cutting speed and post processing.

Cutting Speed
Due to the high demand for these products the production facilities need to run 24 hours a day. Therefore, cycle time is a very important factor. Laser Photonics, a leader in industrial laser cutting equipment, has created the solution to this dilemma with its new high power fiber laser cutting machine, the Titan FLS 48. This machine is designed with the quick cutting of metals such as stainless steel, aluminum, mild steel and most other highly reflective metals. With the fastest cutting speed when compared to current machines, the Titan FLS 48 is able to increase these plants production speed while performing around the clock. This solves a major challenge for these manufacturers and allows them to grow with their customers and helps them keep up with demand.

Post Processing
The post processing stage is a completely separate process from the initial cutting. The post processing ensures all of the edges of the products are clean and safe for everyday use. When the stainless steel has been cut in the past, it was very difficult to guarantee the edges were completely smooth. This is extremely important especially in this industry because jagged edges, no matter how small, will accumulate bacteria, dust and other harmful materials that are dangerous when working with any type of food processing. The solution to this problem is also fiber laser technology. The Titan FLS 48 uses these high power lasers which make such a precise and clean cut that the edges do not need this post processing stage thereby speeding up production time for these manufacturers and improving their bottom line. Because only one laser machine is needed to complete these two processing stages at one time, it frees up more space in warehouses and uses less energy, helping manufacturers with their efforts to become more environmentally friendly.

This is just one way fiber laser technology changing production lines around the globe. Within the next decade, most food processing machinery manufacturers and food processing companies will be implementing different laser machines to improve their cutting and marking of their products.

Application Newsletter – Laser Cutting Natural Leather

Laser cutting of natural leather is now widely used in the shoe and garment industry, as well as many other industries. The high flexibility and affordability of a Laser Photonics' CO2 laser system enables dramatic cost reductions in these industries with less waste. Speeds are very high and the cut quality, including edge smoothness, far exceeds that which can be achieved by previous techniques, as there is less material distortion and discoloration.

Leather markings can also be produced with fantastic results thanks to advancements in Laser Photonics’ CO2 laser systems. This application is experiencing a strong development, especially in the clothing, footwear and bag industry. High quality production is now available to better produce designers' creations.

Application Details:
Blue leather with 3-mm thickness was marked and cut by a 10 watt CW CO2 laser with 3.75-inch focal length lens. The speed of 50 mm/sec was used for etching surface with one pass and the speed of 10 mm/sec was set for cutting through the sheet with three passes. Total cycle time for cutting and marking whole part took 6 min 40 sec. For reducing the cycle time, the higher power CO2 laser was recommended to be used in the application.

Application Newsletter - Medical Device Marking with the FiberTower

Medical manufacturers require the ability to mark using many different techniques for UID (unique identifier), Direct Parts Marking (DPM), logos, serial numbers, part numbers, lot and date codes, schematics, graphics, deep engraving and more. They also need to be able to process a wide range of materials varying from plastic, to titanium, to stainless steel and aluminum. Because fiber lasers wavelength, output power level and beam quality can be adapted for cutting, welding, structuring or marking a wide range of materials, they are an ideal choice for medical manufacturers.

The stainless steel medical device part pictured to the left was marked using a 20Watt Fiber Laser Marking System. The part, for a medical saw, was marked with a single line, narrow font for speed purposes and a bold font to increase readability. The part was engraved deep enough that the marking would very hard to remove. The cycle time for narrow engraved part took 3 seconds. The second part was engraved with a bold font to increase readability; the cycle time for the bold font was 8.5 seconds.

The titanium medical part pictured to the left was marked with a 10 watt q-switched ytterbium fiber laser and 160 mm focal length lens which has a working distance of 176mm from lens to part. The parts were surface marked to created contrast on the samples with a cycle time of 9.36 seconds.
