Foil based control elements | Laser cutting
What decisive difference does laser cutting offer?
Non-contact! Laser jet processing is contact free. This characteristic alone offers many advantages. Foil remnants cannot adhere to the tool, the material does not need to be fixed in place and there is no danger of squashing or chipping, even if the foil is multi-layered. The thermal process can cause the cut edges to melt, which also acts as a kind of sealing. This creates an automatic protection against soiling without additional expense.
