Laser cutting system designed for 2-D steel parts up to 1 in. thick
- December 12, 2006
- Product Release
- Laser Cutting
Mazak Optonics Corp. has introduced the Hyper Turbo-X 2-D laser cutting system for 2-D steel parts up to 1 in. thick.
The system's Takumi(Japanese for "craftsmanship") bed is an enclosed box-frame design. Tabbed laser-cut sides and cross members, connected with a series of tie rods, dampen vibration from internal and external sources.
A top traverse rate of 1,969 IPM is accomplished through noncontact linear motors that drive and guide the axis motions on a thin film of air. The X axis uses two guides and motors, while the Y and Z axes contain a single guide and motor. Antifriction linear roller assemblies support the table and part loads.
The six-torch changer magazine combined with a 10-nozzle changer automatically reconfigures the setup via part program. Once the correct torch and nozzle are mounted, the machine automatically executes a CCD camera inspection of the nozzle tip,looking for spatter or other anomalies. If irregularities are found, it executes a programmed refinish operation by cycling the nozzle tip over a resident combination grinding wheel and wire brush unit.
