FlexPro
Multi-Purpose Laser Machine
The FlexPro® laser system provides the speed of galvanometer processing with the versatility of an XY motion system.
Applications
- Loose Discs
- Disc Rolls
- Hook & Loop
- Stick-On Discs
- Tabbed Discs
Mass Production System
Preco's Wide Web-Based laser systems for roll-to-roll or roll-to-discrete part processing. These larger, turnkey systems are ideal for high production requirements. Available in two different widths, the base systems feature reel-to-reel processing with multiple lasers. The control system operates in a user-friendly Windows® environment, allowing both cross-web and simple shape processing. As a result, changeovers are as simple as opening a file without the need of costly tooling.
Jumbo roll capabilities.
The Wide WebPro series of digital laser cutting systems are rapidly re-configured for changing job requirements. This machine has jumbo roll capabilities because of its larger footprint design.
The base systems may include additional features to accommodate inbound lamination, in-line mechanical slitting, loose discs output conveyor, differential rewinding or multiple robotic stacking.

Features & Benefits
Just some of the many benefits of buying a Preco Wide WebPro Series laser machine.
Digital Process that is "Flexible"
The non-contact process eliminates tool and die fabrication, maintenance and storage costs
Superior Edge Quality
Sealed edge and no burrs, slugs, debris or strands left on cutting edge (depending on material)
High-Speed Processing On-the-Fly
Multiple fixed beam and galvo configurations with processing speeds up to 38 m (1500 in.)/minute
Vision System (Optional)
Allows precise cutting of imperfectly positioned materials or compensation for screen stretch
Ramp-Up / Ramp-Down Control
Eliminates scrap caused by the overpowering of material at slower than normal processing speeds
Adjustable Field of View (FOV) (Optional)
Allows for optimized cut speed and cut quality from one job to the next
Preco Patented AcuPower™
Provides consistent processing independent of cut shape and processing speeds
Fast Processing Speeds
Cut Parts from moving webs for maximum production rates
Job Database
Reduces set-up time; consistent production from operator to operator
Lower Operating Costs
