Flat bed laser doubles up on cutting speed
At 09.00h at the first day of the EMO exhibition, Prima Industrie will unveil a flat bed laser cutting machine cutting over 1000 holes/min - twice that of current machines.
David Smith, Prima Industrie (UK)'s southern regional sales manager, says: "Sales for the first quarter of 2005 look set to exceed all previous years by a large margin." Smith is in no doubt why manufacturers are showing such strong interest: "Laser cutting is a fast and efficient way to cut or weld material without distortion and with no need of rigid and expensive fixtures.
The cutting process is fast and accurate, and because it does not produce messy swarf or chips, it offers manufacturers numerous clear benefits over traditional cutting systems." Versatility is one of the key advantages of Prima Industrie's laser products, with the latest generation of machines able to do much more than just cut and weld.
Drilling, chamfering, bevelling, countersinking and weld preparation can all be achieved with Prima Industrie's comprehensive range of 2 and 3 dimensional machines.
The Platino 2D flatbed laser has proven a popular choice with sheet metal industries, while the Rapido and Optimo 3D models are used mainly in the car industry, where their accuracy and work volume make them efficient workhorses.
The unique 5 axis Domino system combines a 2D machine bed with a 3D laser head to deliver an innovative and economical solution for more complex sheet metal processes.
Prima Industrie offers one of the largest product ranges on the laser machines market, all or which are characterised by flying optics, cartesian architecture, compact structure, large work volumes, full accessibility, high precision and easy programmability.
