Fiber Laser Precisely Cuts Reflective Materials
Murata Machinery’s Fabrication Division introduces the Muratec LS3015FC fiber laser machine, whose rigid “reliability by design” construction is said to emphasize precise machining.
Murata Machinery’s Fabrication Division introduces the Muratec LS3015FC fiber laser machine, whose rigid “reliability by design” construction is said to emphasize precise machining. The machine’s low-power, short-wavelength laser beam improves part processing of even highly reflective materials like copper and aluminum, the company says. Linear drives on all axes promote precise, high-speed processing. A dual-pallet system enables the preparation of new material and prevents parts and scrap from falling onto the material during the exchange.
The user-friendly FANUC 31-iLB CNC control platform stores as many as 1,000 programs on a solid-state drive that can be backed up and expanded through USB and compact flash ports. Laser processing parameters are pre-loaded on the machine and a Windows-embedded file system eases backup and data manipulation.
