The laser cutting systems for glass can now also be used for new areas of application, such as facade glass and insulating glass. This significantly expands the range of applications for the laser cutting systems.
Previously, the systems were mainly used in the production of small to medium-sized display and cover glasses. With the latest generation of systems, glasses up to a size of 3.0 x 2.2 m can be cut.

Several Pearl systems have also been installed recently to cut very large glass sheets or glass stacks. The Pearl series is capable of cutting glass with a size of up to 2.2 m width and more than 3 m length. For the first time it is possible to use the advantages of laser glass filamentation on large mother glass sheets for e.g. smart windows.
The 4Jet solutions enable to integrate the cutting process close to delicate coating- and printing processes, by eliminating the need for messy mechanical scoring and washing processes. Additional benefits compared to conventional mechanical cutting technologies are the extremely precise dimensional accuracy and the ability to create complex cutting geometries, including notches.

Easy import from CAD
The Pearl systems are based on a granite machine platform, which offers inherent accuracy and long-term stability. Cutting geometries are easily imported from CAD drawings. The specific tuning of the axis controllers not only result in a high cutting speed, but also in excellent path accuracy to achieve high-precision outer contours in the end product.
The Pearl Dynamic Focus ensures that the focus is always within the process window without increasing the process time.
