Fiber laser available in 2- and 3-kW versions

MC Machinery Systems’ fiber laser offering has expanded to include another option in laser cutting technology. The new SR-F series from Mitsubishi features a 3- by 1.5-m footprint.

The laser is available in 2- and 3-kW versions. This entry-level 2-D fiber laser processing system comes standard with a fiber laser resonator, a processing head, and a safety cover. It also includes the Mitsubishi 700 series control with 64-bit NC and a 15-in. touchscreen.

The Motion Cut feature shows the beam on/off time and axial movement simultaneously to eliminate the need for the axes to stop. Eco Mode helps reduce cost during standby by up to 70 percent, states the manufacturer. The power control system provides power stability of ±1 percent. MC Remote 360 provides real-time data.

Other features include automatic focusing and a magnetic damage reduction function that protects the head and eliminates the need for nozzle centering in the event of a crash.
