Ulutra High Speed Laser Cutting System
The TLH Series 5-axis 3D fiber laser system from NTC America—Laser Group is ideal for hot stamping operations and has shown itself to be more accurate than other operations such as robotic delivery.
Posted: February 22, 2013
The TLH Series was developed to provide, through simple programming and operation of integrated motion and laser systems, high-productivity performance in cutting complex parts, to generate intricate beam paths and to adapt laser parameters to various cutting requirements.
This fiber laser system also provides precision cutting, established first on its cantilever-style construction and solid base that are the foundation of its operating accuracies. The construction features are matched with AC servo motor drives, ball screw feeds and linear ball guide mechanisms that provide movement tolerances of +0.0019 in per 19.6 in of travel distance (+0.05 mm per 500 mm).
To assure consistent beam penetration despite contours and form irregularities, the TLH’s non-contact sensor provides rapid response to changes in the gap between optics and material to maintain the beam’s optimum focus.
The TLH Series programs can be prepared either by using the teaching playback system or by using NC data made with an optional automatic progrramming system and corrected by the teaching playback system if necessary. The teaching mode allows for settings for on/off laser beam, pulse rate, laser power, cutting speed and other settings.
In addition, the control incorporates memory storage for multiple part programs and includes integral subroutines such as linear, circular and spline interpolations, copying and mirror shaping, pattern downloading, circular cutting and corner rounding from center point definition, scheduling parts and operations for unattended production.
In addtion to the TLH Series, NTC America’s lineup of laser processing machines includes the TLM Series 3-dimensional, 5 axis, the TLZ Series 2-dimensional, 3-axis systems with flying optics, the TLV Series 3-axis hybrid machines for large, wide workpieces, and the TLX Series high power, 3-axis models in cantilever and gantry configurations. www.ntclaser.com
