The patented MLBATM (Multiple Laser Beam Absorption) technology features volume absorption of the laser radiation in the glass, & not surface absorption as with commonly used CO2 laser radiation. The specially developed reflector system allows the laser beam to pass several times through the glass. In this way, laser energy is optimally used to cut glass with a thermally induced tension fissure in one single step,`zero kerf width' cutting! The customer's benefit is obvious: the MLBATM technology cuts single glass plates 0.2-24mm thick, or even multi-layer glasses (display glass, laminated glass) in one single operational step. The usual subsequent breaking is no longer necessary & the customer can benefit from shorter production times by up to 50%. A worldwide unique technology is the selective separation of single glass plates in a glass stack, as well as cutting of contours in one single step, which opens up completely new possibilities in glass processing. The MLBA technology is clean and contact-free and in this way does not cause any pollution by additives (like cooling medial, cutting oil) or glass splinters. These features make the MLBA method ideal for processing sensitive glass products or deployment in sensitive production environments. The high edge quality, free of any glass chips or micro cracks, enhances the stability of glass parts by a factor of 2. Production losses by glass breakage or mechanical damage of high-quality glass parts are reduced to a minimum.
