In the field of printing machinery manufacturing, composite materials are increasingly widely used, but the traditional cutting process in the face of rubber + aluminum alloy such as “hard and soft” combination, is often unable to - rubber easy to burn and deformation, aluminum alloy edge burr clusters, the yield of finished products is low, Post-processing is cumbersome, which becomes a pain point that restricts production efficiency and product quality.

Other lasers cut rubber+aluminum composites with heavy carbon black, burrs, unevenness

GW Laser brings a breakthrough with disruptive black technology!

The latest 0.8mm rubber (non-metallic) and aluminum alloy (metallic) composite material samples cut by GW Laser are the best evidence of this technological strength:

Ultimate Flatness: Whether it's the soft rubber layer or the hard aluminum alloy layer, the cut section is as smooth as a mirror, with no stepped drop or heat-affected zone deformation.

Zero tolerance for burrs: sharp, clear edges on aluminum and no melting or pulling of the rubber, so no more secondary sanding.

Tight fit: Heterogeneous material interfaces are cut with precision, no delamination, no debonding, and structural integrity is perfectly preserved.

Why is the high-brightness fiber laser the “blade of choice” for composites?

The unique wavelength of GW's high-brightness fiber lasers strikes the perfect balance between the absorption efficiencies of non-metallic and metallic materials:

Non-metallic materials such as rubber: extremely high absorption enables low-temperature, high-efficiency vaporization cutting, avoiding the ablation and carbonization caused by traditional thermal cutting.

For metals such as aluminum alloys: while maintaining sufficient energy coupling to achieve stable, high-quality melt cutting.

Precision control: with the exclusive beam shaping and intelligent process library, the energy accurately acts on the micron-level cutting channel, the heat-affected zone is extremely small, truly realizing the “hot and cold, rigid and soft”. Other lasers cut rubber + aluminum alloy composites with serious carbon black, burrs, unevenness.

Samples after cutting with GW's high-brightness fiber laser are flat, burr-free and tightly sealed.

Getting to the heart of the printing industry

This composite prototype is tailor-made for precision components in high-end printing equipment. GW's solution ensures:

Component precision and durability: Flat, burr-free cuts guarantee assembly precision and long-term operational reliability.

Enhanced productivity: One-shot molding eliminates the need for post-processing, significantly shortening the manufacturing cycle.

Reduced overall costs: Reduced scrap rates and savings in labor costs for grinding.
