Fully Automated Fiber Laser Cutting System

The fully automated L5 fiber laser cutting system from Salvagnini slashes costs per part by more than 50 percent, energy consumption by more than 70 percent, and running costs by two-thirds, with virtually zero maintenance.

Posted: February 25, 2013

The L5 laser cutter comes complete with the latest, most powerful, user friendly numerical control – the SiX – with automatic sheet handling, easy to use programming tools and nesting software that combine to make the L5 an indispensable asset to any shop.

Manufacturing flexibility is always crucial.  It means being able to quickly switch from the production of one high quality part to another – and no one does it better than Salvagnini, whose secret is a combination of versatile machines and proprietary software.

CAD drawings imported into the system are rapidly converted to laser cutting programs. Parts are automatically nested and cutting sequences optimized, employing a new honeycomb algorithm to provide almost perfect blank use and common cut optimization to minimize scrap percentage.

Unloading and stacking of individual parts can be accomplished automatically, and part production costs are routinely calculated from production lists.  In essence, all of the craftsmanship and all the details of manufacturing are built into the software so you don’t have to.

Whether purchased as a stand-alone machine or as a scalable building block for future factory automation, the hard working Salvagnini L5 makes fiber laser cutting an affordable option for any sheet metal fabrication shop.

For more than 30 years, Salvagnini has served the global metalworking industry by designing, manufacturing, marketing and servicing flexible sheet metal processing systems, machines, process software and tooling for factory integration. Major product lines include punching and shearing, automatic panel bending and fiber laser cutting systems.

As the originator of automation in the sheet metal fabricating sector, the company offers complete material handling capabilities, including ASRS, robotic loading/unloading, conveying and parts manipulation. More than 4,200 systems are in operation in more than 75 countries around the world. www.salvagnini.com
