Accurate, affordable, and on-time laser converting services for electronic and industrial applications.
Today’s economic realities have stretched budgets to their limits—getting products to market faster in a cost-effective manner with fewer delays is more important than ever. Our Precision Converting Services team is a full service job shop offering laser converting capabilities for the industrial and electronic markets. We’ll help you take full advantage of laser processing as a product manufacturing solution, eliminating the costs of expensive tooling, maintenance downtime, and delays for design changes. In addition to traditional job shop functions, we help you develop the processes required for your unique products. Laser converting is a flexible, cost-effective alternative to mechanical processing methods, resulting in savings that go right to your bottom line.
Our non-contact LaserSharp® converting process delivers precision and accuracy that traditional die cutting methods cannot match. Because lasers vaporize material, the risks of material contamination are greatly reduced and parts display smoothly contoured cuts and edges that are free from processing artifacts. Eliminate the design constraints of metal dies and achieve unique geometries and complex shapes using laser technology. The Precision Converting Services team specializes in laser solutions for applications including graphic overlays, flexible circuits, gaskets, touch screens, spacers, and abrasives.
Advantages of Precision Converting Services:
- No upfront tooling costs
- Multiple processes available in a single production run:
- Laser cut
- Laser kiss-cut
- Laser ablate
- Laser via drill
- Laser score
- Laser perforate
- Rapid turnaround due to a lean manufacturing process utilizing digital technology
- Achieve complex, intricate shapes unattainable with metal dies
- Design revisions are as simple and fast as opening a new design file, ideal for prototyping
- Reduced material waste
Laser converting is ideal for difficult to convert materials utilized for electronic and industrial applications such as abrasives and adhesives, which are problematic or cost prohibitive to process with metal tooling. Additionally, because of its non-contact process, lasers are able to precisely ablate conductive coatings without causing damage to the carrier substrate, appropriate for flexible circuit and RFID manufacturing. Our LaserSharp® technology offers the flexibility to process a wide variety of materials, up to 20" by 20" in size, with unparalleled precision using advanced vision registration systems unique to our laser processing systems. And because laser converting is entirely digital, there’s no downtime during pattern change over. The Precision Converting Services group will work with you to develop a laser process that suits the requirements of your materials and specific electronic and industrial applications.
