Enhance Cut Quality by Matching Beam Shape to Part
Mazak Optonics’ Optiplex Nexus 3015 Fiber S7 is a 7kW 2D flying optics fiber laser-cutting system with beam-shaping capability that enables operators to select beam size and shape according to material thickness.
How to Get the Most Out of Today’s Sheet Metal Laser Cutters
There’s a big difference between just cutting fast and achieving impressive throughput. As machines become faster, factories must properly manage downstream handling processes.
Fully-Enclosed Automated Cutting System
ESAB Welding & Cutting Products offers maximum safety and high productivity with its AutoRex system – essentially a cutting system inside its own confined cabin. A shuttle table with dual pallets keeps a new plate always ready for exchange and cutting.
Plasma Table Starts at $14,000 to $17,000
The 1300PL has become the most-used machine at Tormach’s facility. The 65-amp plasma cutter cuts 4-foot-by-4-foot sheets of metal up to 1 inch thick and holds up to 750 pounds, and comes with or without a torch.
Combination Plasma/Waterjet Provides Best of Both Cutting Processes
Soitaab’s two-in-one Dualine performs both low-cost, high-speed plasma cutting and versatile, accurate waterjet cutting. Users can perform both processes on the same workpiece or use the machine solely as a waterjet or solely as a plasma cutter.
Waterjet Cutter Produces Virtually No Taper
With a cutting area of 10 feet by 5 feet, 2 inches and a multiaxis cutting head that automatically removes the taper, Omax’s Maxiem 1530 produces clean, precise cuts in common sheet metal plate sizes with room to spare. The waterjet system includes pump and software.
A Healthy Antidote to Fiber Laser Dust and Fumes
Fiber lasers provide excellent cutting power and speed, but also produce high volumes of very fine particulate that can quickly overwhelm traditional dust collectors. RoboVent’s plug-and-play Senturion is designed specifically for fiber laser cutting.
One Compact Fiber Laser Performs Four Processes
Prima Power Laserdyne replaces the Laserdyne 780 with the Laserdyne 811, a high-speed fiber laser for cutting, drilling, DED additive manufacturing, and 2D and 3D welding. Extremely compact rotary and tilt axes laser head comes with two-year, unlimited-hour warranty.
Multiaxis CO2 Lasers Close the Gap Between Novice and Experienced Operators
VZ10 and VZ20 laser cutters from MC Machinery feature intuitive CNC control with one-touch teach functions that greatly reduce keystrokes, cutting onboarding time for new operators virtually in half.
Fiber Laser for Extra-Large-Format Beveling and Cutting
The bed on LVD Strippit’s gantry-style Taurus FL can be expanded in 6.5-foot increments from 39 feet to 131 feet for extra-large sheet metal cutting. Large parts can be cut without repositioning and higher volumes of smaller workpieces can be processed without interruption.
Plasma Cutter Produces 36% More Parts By Accommodating Larger Sheet Metal
The Torchmate 4510 is Lincoln Electric’s third Torchmate 4000 series product. When equipped with optional FlexCut 125 power supply, the plasma cutter accommodates 5×10 sheet metal up to 1 inch thick.
Small but Mighty (and Affordable) CNC Waterjet Cutter
Available in three models featuring 4-by-4, 4-by-8, and 5-by-10-foot cutting areas, Koike Aronson Ransome’s ShopJet can be shipped on a standard 8-foot truck to fit into any size shop. Get 2,200 pounds of free abrasive with every machine order.
