Abstract
A process and device are disclosed for perforating and/or partially cutting printed laminated composite materials by means of laser beams from at least one laser arranged in a laser station. In order to minimize equipment costs, in particular for the control of the perforation and/or partial cutting processes, without having to renounce to an exact positioning of the perforations and/or partial cuts, a process is disclosed characterized by the following steps: the laminated composite material web is cut into individual blanks (1) according to the printed image and/or folding pattern; the blanks (1) are transported to the laser station; and the perforations or partial cuts are carried out in the stationary blank (1). Also disclosed are means for carrying out the process.
