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 inlays: stable and multicoloured”

Milled inlays are very popular as they are very stable due to the fact that they consist of just one piece of foam.

It is also possible to mill multi-coloured foams, e.g. for subsequent completeness checks of the packaged contents.

Modern processes

During water jetting, attention is paid to optimum material utilisation thanks to the auto-nesting function, which ensures maximum utilisation of the foam sheets for large quantities. Quick adjustments and changes can be made directly on the waterjet machine. Our employees monitor the waterjet cut and thus guarantee the highest quality. The individual layers of the water jet cuts are then dried and glued into individual inserts by our employees at our gluing stations.

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

The punching of hard and soft foams is the simplest way to produce case inserts for a suitcase. W.AG uses the punching technique in which suitcase contours are punched out of foam sheets using punching knives, e.g. to produce dimpled foams for the upper shells of suitcases.
