Rollomatic Laser-Cutting System Machines Large PCD Tools
The LaserSmart 810XL features a powerful laser source that has been designed for PCD tools and other ultra-hard materials up to 12" in diameter.
Rollomatic’s LaserSmart 810XL laser cutting machine features a powerful laser source that has been designed for larger-diameter polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tools and other ultra-hard materials up to 12" in diameter, a total length of 14" and a total load capacity of 33 lbs.
This machine is built to address the profile cutting and ablation of diamond tooling in the larger-diameter range, as well as tools with a Monoblock adaptor. Typical application fields for this machine are the woodworking, automotive and aerospace industries.
According to Rollomatic, the 810XL achieves surface finishes as low as Ra 40 nanometers; features a patented axis configuration; produces crisper and sharper cutting edges compared to conventional laser machines; and provides 30% faster feed rates compared to conventional laser machines.
The machine includes a software based on the Rollomatic’s 510 and 510femto models. It is said to easily interpret 3D files and data entry while communicating with the operator and the machine systems. Additionally, the software provides automatic blank detection, calculation of the tool structure and application of the dxf files to the blanks.
The 810XL features six internal cameras to assist the operator in quick setup and efficient production. It is said to enable high repeatability and near-zero total indicator runout (TIR) in conjunction with in-process measuring; it can also produce precise cylindrical margins on any tool size.
