  • Publication number: 20230398631
    Abstract: An apparatus, and associated method, laser cuts self-wrapping, woven or braided split sleeves from a continuous feed of sleeve material by sweeping a laser beam across the continuously fed material. Instead of sweeping the laser beam straight across the material in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the material, the sweep path is angled to follow the feed rate of the material while the laser beam cuts through the material from one side to the other. Thus, a straight cut may be completed without stopping the feed. The apparatus includes a mandrel tor expanding the material before intersection with the laser beam to open a gap at the longitudinal split. The mandrel has a wedge-shaped tip with an end-surface profile that is at an oblique angle to the direction of motion of the material. The oblique angle at least approximately matches the sweep angle of the laser beam.
