6-kW fiber laser source added to cutting systems

Bystronic has extended the BySprint Fiber portfolio with the addition of a 6-kW fiber laser source for its 3015 and 4020 cutting machine formats.

The higher power increases the machine’s cutting speed in thin to medium sheet metal thicknesses. For example, a 6-kW fiber laser cuts 0.125-in. stainless steel up to 70 percent faster than a 4-kW fiber laser and three times faster than a 6-kW CO2 laser, the company reports. Depending on the type of material and the sheet thickness, parts output can be increased by up to 400 percent.

The 6-kW version is equipped with Cut Control to monitor the cutting process. When a cutting tear occurs, Cut Control automatically stops the laser and the cut is repeated, reducing the risk of miscuts.
