Auto Following Laser Cutting Machine for Die Making Shops and Plywood Die Boards

1.What Is an Auto Following System Laser Cutting Machine?

An Auto Following System Laser Cutting Machine is a specialized die making laser cutting machine designed for plywood die boards, packaging dies, corrugated box dies, and folding carton dies.

Unlike traditional laser cutting machines that may require multiple cutting passes for wider slots, the latest auto-following system can automatically adjust cutting width and laser head height, allowing 1pt, 2pt, 3pt, and 4pt rule slots to be cut in a single pass.

Benefits include:

• Faster die board production
• Higher cutting accuracy
• Automatic focus adjustment
• Reduced labor requirements
• Lower maintenance costs
• Ideal for die making shops and in-house die making
