Linear CNC laser cutting machine has 5kW power
A
LVD (UK) product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team
May 3, 2006
CNC laser cutting machine provides advanced laser cutting capabilities and high-speed part processing combined with integrated automation.
Shown for the very first time in the UK LVD was the Axel 3015S 5Kw Linear CNC Laser Cutting Machine at MACH2006, Hall 4, Stand 4665.
The Axel 3015S 5kw Linear provides advanced laser cutting capabilities and high-speed part processing combined with integrated automation to maximize machine productivity and facilitate unattended operation.
The laser cutting machine incorporates the most recent advancements in linear drive technology, laser power and control systems to provide superior cutting capabilities, greater flexibility and ease of use.
The Axel 3015 S offers optimum performance when processing both thin sheets and thick materials.
A high pressure (clean cut) cutting head is available for 5in, 7.5in or 10in cutting lens.
The high-pressure cutting head produces exceptionally clean cuts and is equipped with a safety system that protects the head from collision with the workpiece The Axel 3015 S on display at MACH2006 will feature a 5kW laser source.
The high beam quality of the 5kW laser allows processing of thin material at extremely high speeds up to 40m/min in 1.0mm material and thick material with high quality surface finishes.
A new 10in cutting lens allows the Axel to process thick mild steel 10mm to 15mm,10 to 15% faster.
The 10in lens permits processing of 25mm mild steel with a 4kW laser source.
Using the 10in lens, 20mm mild steel can be processed at 1000mm/min, 10 mm mild steel can be cut at speeds of 2000mm/min.
The laser source, CNC and servomotors are integrated and interfaced as a complete system to optimize machine performance, offering high speed and reliability, low operating and maintenance costs.
The monoframe design incorporates high precision hardened guideways and optimal driving system to achieve high-speed acceleration and positioning speeds.
The Axel 3015 S boasts an improved frame design with increased stiffness.
The rigid frame construction minimizes deformation caused by high acceleration, improving overall machine accuracy.
LVD's Axel 3015 S features a constant beam length system that keeps the diameter of the laser beam constant and consequently always maintains a fixed focal point position.
This results in higher cutting speeds and superior cut quality maintained over the entire working area.
The Axel 3015 S is now available with LVD's exclusive Win-Executor software.
The software further simplifies machine use by providing an explanation of error messages, automatic calculation of stand off distance, and graphic display during the cutting process.
The Axel laser system combines high-speed part processing with integrated shuttle tables for continuous, uninterrupted part processing.
The shuttle table design allows one table to be loaded while the machine is cutting on the other table, maximizing uptime.
The Axel 3015 S features a newly redesigned shuttle table drive system with double-driven timing belt for improved machine performance and reliability.
Table change time is now three times faster and is completed in 15s.
Shuttle tables are driven by a coupled toothed belt, which also provides faster and smoother pallet changing.
The laser system's working area is enclosed with a protective plexiglass cabin that provides a clear view of the cutting process.
The manually operated rotating door also allows easy access for machine maintenance.
The LVD group based in Gullegem - Belgium is a leading worldwide designer, manufacturer and distributor of a comprehensive range of sheet metal / plate working machine tools and software solutions, including laser cutting systems, punch presses, press brakes, guillotines and automated flexible manufacturing systems - all supported by its' CADMAN PC-based, Windows compatible programming system for punching, laser cutting and bending.
The Group's UK subsidiary, LVD , has its headquarters, showroom and service centre in Banbury, Oxfordshire.
