Tecnofive is about to launch a new, patented, highly innovative system for the drilling of rubber profiles based on laser technology.
By making use of a special CO2 laser, we are now able to produce a sequence of drilling operations on an extrusion line, at a rate of up to 30 m/minute, to make air vent holes in profiles complete with a bulb. The term “holes” does not do justice to this machine, since in addition to drilling holes of different sizes, it is able to create vent cavities of various shapes: triangles, rectangles, slots, etc.
The machine is able to carry out a sequence of operations freely programmed by the operator, to drill a series of variably spaced holes positioned at specific points in the profile, e.g., skipping difficult zones, such as the variable section zones at the corners of the doors.
This new technology has brought about a veritable breakthrough in the production of profiles for motor vehicles
Advantages
Making vent holes of different shapes, not only round ones
Making vent holes without chips
Making vent holes to meet different geometry and spacing requirements
Applying identification marks between the holes
Drilling holes simultaneously in two bulbs
No downtimes to change the drill bits
