Our MLT laser system for the most various applications

Scope of application

Our MLFlex laser system combines many applications in one machine. Whether laser perforation, scoring in the machine direction, scoring transverse to the machine direction or cutting smaller contours - with the MLFlex system you will be well positioned in your production in the future. In principle, the MLFlex system combines all possible applications of our MLPerf and MLScribe systems in one laser system.

The main areas of application of the MLFlex systems are:

• Laser perforation of mono and composite films
• Special applications in the pharmaceutical and automotive industries for ventilated packaging solutions
• Machine direction (MD) laser scribing
• Laser scoring across the machine direction (CD)
• Laser scoring of freely definable contours
• Cutting and incising of smaller contours in the web material
• Laser markings can optionally be created (depending on the material)

The technology

• Typical materials: mono and composite films (OPP, PE, PE-LD, PET, CPP, EVA, PLA), paper and kraft paper.
• Typical integration: in slitter winder, winder, lamination
• Speeds: Typical industrial speeds are between 80m / min up to 400m / min. In special applications over 700m / min are realized.
• Type of laser source: CO2 laser.
• Typical hole sizes: 80 µm to 900 µm - depending on the material, both smaller and larger holes are possible.
• Number of laser sources per system: 1 to 18 - usually between 4 and 10.
• Power of the laser sources: 30 watts to 1000 watts per source - usually between 60 and 120 watts per laser.
• Web widths: 250mm to 2000mm (larger web widths are usually possible). The most commonly used web width is 1400mm.

Your advantages

• Our "Swiss Army Knife" of the laser systems - the flexibility and the application possibilities are very high.
• High quality micro laser perforation with hole sizes below 100 µm (depending on the material)
• Macro laser perforation with hole sizes> 100 µm
• Scribing in the machine direction with web speeds up to> 500m / min
• Laser scoring transversely to the direction of the web, as well as free form contours.
• Introduction of cutting contours in different types of paper, mono films or composite films.
• We offer system solutions for all typical widths of film material on the market.
• Our MLT systems can be individually adapted to your existing machines.
• Optimal design of the laser components to the specific requirements of the respective industries and use of MLT patented technologies.
• MLT develops overall concepts and solutions: From application development to turnkey installation, everything comes from a single source.
