Rubber processing
CO2 laser cut rubber for clean, accurate profiles
Complex rubber geometries, clean results
Laser processing enables accurate cutting, drilling, and texturing of rubber—even complex shapes and fine details—without deformation or mechanical stress.
Functional and decorative surface structures
Ablation and scribing allow controlled surface textures in rubber, combining grip, flow, or sealing performance with customized patterns or markings.
One process from prototype to series
The same laser process supports rubber stamps, seals, wiper blades, silicone teats, and shoe soles—scalable from small batches to high-volume production.
Laser sources for rubber processing
CO2 lasers cut, drill and texture rubber —without mechanical contact
Rubber can be laser processed in multiple ways — from engraving stamps, ablating and scribing rubber sheets to create textures and patterns, to laser cutting and drilling rubber parts like windscreen wiper blades and car-door seals.
CO₂ laser processing supports intricate designs (text, logos, graphics) and enables functional surface texture on shoe soles (added grip + decoration). For high-accuracy profiles, the non-contact process reduces production interruptions caused by tool wear.
Luxinar’s CO₂ laser sources support both processes—rubber engraving and rubber cutting & drilling—as dedicated application areas.
Why Luxinar
Stable lasers plus practical application support
Luxinar focuses on production confidence: durable CO₂ laser sources with sealing technologies designed for stable performance and uptime. You get a scalable hardware path from compact sealed sources to higher-power platforms—so you can optimize for speed, edge quality, or footprint without changing your process philosophy.
Key benefits for rubber processing:
-
Accurate profiles, fewer stops:
Laser cutting/drilling rubber is contact-free, eliminating tool wear and breakage-related downtime. -
Environmental robustness:
SR series lasers are hermetically sealed and IP66-rated to withstand dust, heat, and water spray in industrial production. -
Material flexibility via wavelength options:
SR lasers offer 10.6 µm, 10.25 µm, and 9.3 µm wavelength options to tailor processing to your rubber and additives. - Seamless pulsed‑to‑QCW operation delivers maximum design flexibility, combining high peak power, exceptional stability, and repeatability for high throughput and fine, delicate laser cut rubber structures.
-
Power headroom for lifetime confidence:
SR models specify minimum shipment power 20% higher than rated power to support extended operational lifetime. -
Process development help (not guesswork):
Luxinar applications labs can test your samples and provide rapid turnaround, application reports, and guidance on cutting, drilling, scribing, and ablation. -
Traceability-ready options:
MULTISCAN® marking systems offer an inkless method to apply text, graphics, and 2D codes across materials—useful when rubber parts need IDs or batch codes.
