RST VELCUT
Is a high-speed laser cutting system designed for continuous processing of Velcro, technical tapes, and synthetic straps. The on-the-fly cutting technology eliminates the need for mechanical dies, enabling instant pattern changes and unlimited design flexibility. Built for 24/7 industrial production with roll-to-roll material handling, liquid-cooled optics, and sealed laser edges that prevent fraying.
Main goals
- On-the-fly & segmental cutting – continuous or indexed processing modes for maximum flexibility
- Die-free manufacturing – eliminate tooling costs, switch patterns instantly via software
- Sealed edges, no fraying – laser fusion prevents loose threads on synthetic materials
- Roll-to-roll automation – handle rolls 80 kg weight (customizable)
- High-speed processing – scan speeds up to 8 m/s, conveyor up to 0.8 m/s
- Fully customizable – tailored configurations for military, automotive, medical, and textile industries
