LASERCUTTING STAINLESS STEEL WITH ADHESIVE ON ONE SIDE.

[tingfung]

Hello,

I need to cut some stainless steel plate. (15.7mm X 50.3mm with corner radius of 4.8mm.)w/ adhesive on on side.

The plate is to be 0.75mm (22 gauge) Ferritic #430 stainless steel.

The adhesive is 3M 7955 adhesive.

Is this possible?
If so, how?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Sincerely,

I have never try to cut this kind of adhesive
but first you have to know the film will burn a little
due to the heat of the SS along the cut line

Is it possible for the part's quality ?

You can always do a pre burn using low wattage and a fast feed rate - basicly just scoring the adherhisive - if you can't cut it under normal circumstances. This means lost time but will alow you to get the job done.
