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.
CNC Plasma Plate and Pipe Cutter
The semi-automatic control system on Kaast’s Plasmasonic switches quickly between plasma and oxy-fuel cutting. Add a pipe cutter or bevel cutter for welding preparation to configure an all-in-one machine that cuts metal sheets and pipes, chamfers, marks, and perforates.
Extreme Bevel Consumables for Versatile Plasma Cutter
Hypertherm’s MAXPRO200 operates with air, oxygen, or nitrogen plasma gas, combining fast cutting speeds and quick process changes to maximize productivity. LongLife technology significantly increases consumable life to lower cost per part.
GMTA Offers Stiefelmayer Lasers In North America
German Machine Tools of America (GMTA) buttresses its line of machines for U.S. power train manufacturing by representing Stiefelmayer GmbH fiber and diode laser machines for cutting and hardening. The machines are particularly well-suited for the thin components required for electric vehicles.
High-Speed, High-Power Fiber Laser Available in U.S.
Seattle-based Fairmont Machinery is importing, distributing, and servicing Power-Tech’s Eagle laser cutting systems. The Polish machine tool builder’s products are available with 6, 12, 15, and 20kW of power.
Large-Gantry Dual-Technology Cutting System
ESAB’s Hydrocut HDX combines waterjet’s precision with plasma’s speed in a work area that’s 18 feet wide and 56 feet long. Combining technologies cuts per-part cost in half and enhances workplace safety by reducing handling needs.
