abstract:
The multipurpose laser machine is mainly targeted to the footwear domain, where several and different operations may be required on the items that compose a shoe, such as material cutting, piece marking and (custom). This is usually applied to leather materials, but also various types of textiles are involved.
The developed prototype represents a flexible solution that allows to combine the main features of a galvo head (namely, the speed) with the main features of the gantry system (the wide working area) by means of a redundant architecture, properly managed by a controller based on an innovative conception. The type and the power of the laser chosen for the present implementation also allow to obtain both an accurate cutting and a good level of marking and engraving.
