Fiber laser cutting system cuts as fast as thermal process allows

LVD Strippit has introduced the 8-kW Electra FL 3015 fiber laser. The ultrahigh-speed machine cuts a variety of ferrous and nonferrous materials as fast as the thermal process allows. It has an improved wall plug efficiency of up to 40 percent. A linear-drive motor achieves high cutting dynamics and rapid acceleration for high part output.

The cutting head features automated adjustment of focus position and focus diameter (zoom focus) to optimize cut quality in both thin and thick materials. A rigid frame design helps ensure reliable cutting performance at top cutting speeds, the manufacturer reports.

The Touch-L touchscreen control and icon-driven user interface add to ease of use and operation. The machine is equipped with an automatic shuttle table that allows one table to be loaded while the machine is cutting on the other table. Modular automation options are available.
