The new Mitsubishi eX-F Series fiber laser from MC Machinery Systems, Inc. (Wood Dale, IL) combines the best of both worlds: the top notch construction of the popular eX Series CO2 lasers and the power and reliability of Mitsubishi’s finest fiber resonator. This 6 kW machine features new ZOOM Head Technology built into the magnetic head to provide faster processing and the capability to pierce one-inch thick plates. In testing, the eX-F has demonstrated significant advantages over the conventional Mitsubishi LV-45CF-R CO2 laser in terms of performance and operating cost. Medium- and thick-plate processing times were decreased by 44 percent. Non-process times are cut in half with simultaneous nozzle cleaning, height sensor calibration, nozzle changing and gas purge.
Operating costs are dramatically reduced by 70 percent to 80 percent when compared to conventional CO2 and even more when available Eco Mode is turned on. Powerful controls with standard features like automatic focusing, two-action processing simple nesting and program editing make it easy for the operator.
