Demo Machine #11: High-Power Laser Cutting for Automotive Adhesives – Crusader Converter with 1000W Edge Laser

The label industry demands efficiency and flexibility in Many automotive components require high-strength bonding solutions such as VHB adhesive tape

Challenge

VHB tapes are difficult to cut using traditional rotary dies due to their thickness and high-tack adhesive, which also makes it challenging to meet high precision requirements.

Additionally, cutting inefficiencies lead to material waste and inconsistent part quality.

But the good news is that there is a solution.

Solution

The Crusader® Converter with a 1000-watt Edge Laser is demonstrating high-power laser cutting for VHB tapes.

This contact-free laser cutting system solves key challenges for you:
  • Intricate shapes are cut with exceptional accuracy, thanks to the laser’s fine control
  • Thicker VHB materials maintain precise tolerances without the compression issues of rotary dies
  • In-line slug removal ensures clean cuts and repeatable processing, eliminating material waste and rework

With no die wear, no adhesive buildup, and seamless multi-layer processing, this system delivers precision, efficiency, and reliability – making it ideal for automotive manufacturers.
