Laser technology has become common practice in numerous industrial manufacturing areas as well as other sectors such as medical technology and research and development. Separating and joining processes, surface processing, markings and modern production methods such as additive manufacturing benefit significantly from the diverse advantages that the use of laser technologies brings.
SCHURTER GmbH is a leading company as an innovator, producer and supplier of components for device protection as well as device connections, switches and EMC products. In close collaboration with its customers, the company develops and produces input systems and customer-specific HMI solutions. In addition, services are offered in the electrical industry in the area of circuit board assembly.
Our customer SCHURTER GmbH uses star-pleated dust filter elements from Filtration Group Industrial for the extraction on three laser cutting machines, which also generate the vacuum.
Depending on the specific laser technology, laser cutting produces airborne pollutants commonly referred to as laser smoke, laser dust, or laser vapor. These emissions are made up of particles of various sizes and compositions and can have a variety of effects on the human organism, production equipment and the quality of the products manufactured.
Approximately 100 m² of various transfer adhesives and decorative front films for input systems are laser cut every day. The dust filter elements used serve as a carrier for the cleaning medium (stone dust) to clean the laser smoke gas before it is released into the environment.
