Rotary die cutting processes materials by continuously rotating a cylindrical die and is one of the core technologies of modern die-cutting processes. Advantages such as high efficiency and large-batch continuous production have enabled rotary die cutting to be widely used in electronics, packaging, medical, and other industries. However, rotary die cutting still has many limitations in certain processing scenarios. Any change in the processing pattern requires the production of a new die. For small-batch customized production, this not only significantly increases processing costs but also extends the production cycle. In addition, process capability is limited by physical cutting tools, making it difficult to achieve the processing of fine and complex patterns. When processing materials with high adhesiveness, such as double-sided tape, gels, and highly adhesive protective films, adhesive residue may adhere to the product surface, or products may deform due to mechanical stress, thereby increasing the scrap rate.
The processing capability of a single rotary die-cutting machine is limited, but integrating a rotary die-cutting machine with a laser control system and putting it into actual production is not merely a simple addition of functions; it represents a comprehensive upgrade in productivity and process capability. It can effectively meet the processing requirements of certain composite materials or high-value-added products that require localized fine processing. For example, materials such as cover films, medical tapes, and sensor membranes can be processed using rotary die cutting to cut large-size contours, and then use laser processing to create fine circuits or micro-holes that are difficult to achieve mechanically.
The integration of rotary die cutting and laser processing achieves a perfect balance between efficiency and precision. Rotary die cutting enables high-efficiency, large-batch, repetitive processing tasks, while laser processing enables customized, high-precision machining. The combination of die cutting and laser processing can also reduce production steps, simplify the production process, and reduce errors to a certain extent. In addition, the laser module can operate independently, expanding the processing range and meeting more diversified production needs.
In a rotary die-cutting and laser integrated machine, the laser control system plays an important role, as it directly affects the processing quality of finished products. The laser control system developed by Shenyan — ZJ112-D-CS-QR—compared with ordinary laser control systems, features extremely strong stability and very high processing precision. The laser controller good anti-interference performance ensures long-term efficient operation of the equipment, while its high processing accuracy and consistent high-quality results further enhance product value.
The laser control system supports real-time adjustment of motion/path speed (the control card can automatically perform trajectory fitting). The laser controller supports real-time adjustment of graphic XY offsets and supports external trigger marking. The ZJ112-D-CS-QR laser control system supports camera recognition of positioning points, feature points, and color marks to perform flying positioning cutting. The feeding axis can be controlled by the control card itself or can also support external control. The intuitive and user-friendly operation interface greatly lowers the threshold for operators. In addition, the laser controller supports CO₂ lasers, fiber lasers, and ultraviolet lasers.
