The Optiplex 3015 fiber laser cutting system from Mazak Optonics features the company’s Zeta-7 cutting head and PreView 3 control. The cutting head incorporates intelligent functions to automate and optimize the laser process, such as beam diameter control, nozzle changing, focus calibration, auto-focus control, pierce sensing, plasma detection and burn detection. According to the company, the cutting head design reduces operator dependency and improves cut quality and productivity, especially in challenging workpiece materials. The PreView 3 CNC offers a 15" touchscreen and automatically determines the required processing conditions for the material prior to cutting. The system is said to improve productivity in thin to thick worksheet cutting with increased accuracy. It is also designed to process reflective materials at faster speeds and reduce operating costs.
