PEARL 80G – Precision Laser System for Large Glass Substrates
The PEARL 80G sets new standards for high-precision laser cutting of glass.
Designed for large-format substrates, the system relies on ultra-fast laser pulses and our exclusive nanoPerforation (nP).
Built on an ultra-stable granite gantry with linear motor axes and combined with a patented material handling system, it guarantees top machining quality. Developed for production environments, the PEARL 80G can be used as a stand-alone solution or fully integrated into a production line.
Its unique design enables parallel processing of two glass sheets on separate worktables, significantly increasing throughput. In “Dual-Sheet Mode,” the maximum substrate size is 2,350 mm × 1,900 mm.
For oversized glass sheets, the “Single-Sheet Mode” processes substrates sequentially, with a maximum size of 2,350 mm × 3,700 mm.
