CNC miller-drillers cut 20% off machining times
With the highly productive DMU 50 / 70 eVolution, DMG has added a new dimension to universal milling and drilling machines designed to save up to 20% on machining times.
The user can also choose the best laser source to suit the application, Nd: YAG or CO2 and the optimum power from 15W to 1kW.
Designed for high precision cutting and drilling of sheet metal between 0.1mm and 3mm thick, the Lasertec 80 Series is characterised by its accuracy of 10 micron, high positioning speeds up to 120m/min and acceleration of up to 2G.
The massive, vibration-damping machine bed with 3-point support, linear drives and solid X-Y compound table enhance the performance of this machine.
Working area is 800 x 500 x 700mm.
Control of all machine functions is provided by the Siemens 840D powerline, accessed via the DMG ControlPanel with 17in TFT screen.
The overall footprint of the machine is just 3 x 3.5m and to facilitate servicing, a walk-on panel is provided for fast access to the laser.
The modular concept of this machine with 3, 4 and even 5 CNC axes makes the Lasertec 80 ideal for fine 2D and 3D cutting and for a broad spectrum of laser drilling and welding applications.
This flexibility allows it to be configured for specific needs in the automotive, electronic and aerospace industries.
Typical applications for the Lasertec 80 FineCutting model include the production of electronic circuits, surgical instruments, prototype car parts and hydraulic valves.
Its dedicated counterpart for drilling, Lasertec 80 PowerDrill is best suited to hypodermic needle, micro tool, oil filter and turbine blade manufacture.
