Sweeping the laser light in a circle results in a hole being cut into the object.

Example of drilling holes – Drilling holes in rice bags

Application explanation

This section introduces how to drill ventilation holes in a rice bag, without the use of a cutter.
In order to allow air to escape, we can drill some small holes into the rice bags. Thus preventing the bag from breaking during stacking.
With conventional methods, these holes were drilled with a needle. But there was always a risk that the needle would break in the bag. In addition, the holes could also increase in size due to wear on the needle tip, opening up the possibility of foreign particle contamination problems.

Advantages of laser processing

Reduced risk of contamination

The use of lasers provides non-contact processing, prevents problems such as needle tip breakage, and avoids the risk of foreign particle contamination.
Since there is no needle point as in conventional methods, wear is not an issue. And can achieve stable drilling without quality changes. The ability to drill consistently evenly also avoids problems, such as holes becoming larger. These problems can result in contamination from foreign particles.

Lack of consumable components helps reduce costs and improve productivity.

With non-contact laser processing, the elimination of maintenance and replacement of worn parts required by conventional methods to dramatically reduce running costs. Since the parts do not wear out, nor does it negatively affect the quality of the processing. So it can guarantees the stable operation, making it possible to improve productivity.

Easy switch between types

Whenever you change the product type, you can also change the hole pattern and diameter. Using a laser marker changes are as simple as switching between types using preconfigured software, with settings for each type of object. By controlling factors such as the size and power of the laser light, allowing optimal processing for each product.
