Foam
processing

W.AG combines the processing methods of milling, water jet cutting, laser cutting, laser engraving and punching under one roof. During milling, a foam blank made of rigid foam is placed in the machine and recesses are automatically cut out by a milling head according to a defined programme.

Popular milled inserts: stable and multicoloured

Milled inserts are very popular because they are highly stable due to the fact that they consist of a single piece of foam.

It is also possible to mill multicoloured foams, for example to enable subsequent completeness checks of the packaged contents.

Modern processes

When water jet cutting, we ensure optimum material utilisation thanks to the auto nesting function, which maximises the use of foam sheets when producing large quantities. This allows for quick adjustments and changes to be made directly on the water jet machine. Our employees monitor the water jet cutting process, thus guaranteeing the highest quality. The individual layers of the water jet cuts are then dried and glued together by our employees at our gluing stations to form individual insoles.

Laser cutting

Laser cutting is a new processing technique in W.AG foam processing. Similar to water jetting, a laser cuts the foam according to a specified drawing and makes it possible to produce individual foam layers. Further processing for foam inlays is carried out in a similar way to water jetting. However, laser cutting offers the advantage that the cut foam does not need to be dried. This enables faster production of the individual foam components.

Laser engravings

W.AG offers high-quality laser engraving as a decoration option for inlays. Logos and product information can be displayed directly on the inlay for a professional presentation. For example, your brand logo can be communicated on the inlay or labelling can be used to create real added value for the customer.

Punching

Die cutting hard and soft foams is the simplest way to manufacture case inserts for a case. W.AG uses die cutting technology, in which die cutting knives are used to cut case contours out of foam sheets, for example to produce dimpled foams for case top shells.
