PRODUCT UPDATE LASER SYSTEMS
Cut control and automatic nozzle change functions
Bystronic has added two functionalities to its BySprint Fiber laser machines to increase periods of unattended running. From Spring 2014, the Cut
Control function will be available for machines with 3 and 4kW laser sources. Integrated process monitoring stops the machine automatically if an interruption in the cut is detected, and returns the head to repeat that section of the cut. Cut Control can also determine the precise position of the edge of the sheet on the table, resulting in
Fibre laser micromachining
IPG Photonics has introduced the IX-200-F, a
fibre laser micromachining system for general purpose, R&D and batch-scale production applications.
The laser is a fully enclosed and interlocked CDRH Class 1 system, configurable with a range of IPG fibre lasers and fully integrated with the system operating hardware and software.
The system core consists of special structural design granite to minimise the effects of vibration and thermal drift. It features a high-resolution, high-performance microscope vision system which provides a zoom range from 38X to 880X for sub-micron automated part alignment and inspection. System software includes macro-building tools for fast programming and generation of automated processes for complex feature machining. Additional utilities allow complex pattern input from standard CSV and DXF files.
The selection of IPG Fiber lasers currently supported on the IX-200-F includes pulsed IR to >500W and pulsed green up to 50W as well as UV lasers.

Pharos High Power Ultrafast laser
Rugged industrial design with tunable pulse duration 200fs – 10ps, up to 18W.
optimal material utilisation. With the automatic nozzle change feature, the machine automatically selects the optimum nozzle from one of 40 stations in a magazine. The nozzle change takes
15 seconds. With a nozzle magazine fitted,
a fibre laser machine can be pre- equipped for unattended cutting of orders involving sheet metals of varying types and thicknesses.
Automatic nozzle change is available for all combinations of the BySprint Fiber, including in the 3 x 1.5m and 4 x 2m formats and with 2, 3 or 4kW power.
