The multipurpose laser machine is mainly targeted to the footwear domain, where several and different operations may be required on the items that compose a shoe, such as material cutting, piece marking and (custom). This is usually applied to leather materials, but also various types of textiles are involved. The developed prototype represents a flexible solution that allows to combine the main features of a galvo head (namely, the speed) with the main features of the gantry system (the wide working area) by means of a redundant architecture, properly managed by a controller based on an innovative conception. The type and the power of the laser chosen for the present implementation also allow to obtain both an accurate cutting and a good level of marking and engraving.

Abstract
The multipurpose laser machine is mainly targeted to the footwear domain, where several and different operations may be required on the items that compose a shoe, such as material cutting, piece marking and (custom). This is usually applied to leather materials, but also various types of textiles are involved. The developed prototype represents a flexible solution that allows to combine the main features of a galvo head (namely, the speed) with the main features of the gantry system (the wide working area) by means of a redundant architecture, properly managed by a controller based on an innovative conception. The type and the power of the laser chosen for the present implementation also allow to obtain both an accurate cutting and a good level of marking and engraving.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
