PRODUCT UPDATE LASER SYSTEMS
S Laser high precision system
Stiefelmayer Lasertechnik has launched its S Laser that
combines the precision of micro laser technology with the speed of macro laser technology.
In the laser system, all steel and aluminium was replaced by carbon
in all moving parts, and granite axles were introduced to guarantee stability and precision where high speeds are achieved with linear direct drives. Furthermore, highly reflective non-ferrous metals can be processed by using a fibre laser. In cooperation with the German product and graphic design
company Saidi’sign, a machine housing was created that takes all requirements optimally into consideration in respect of work processes, setting-up, and maintenance. This includes a work room, extendable work tables, and an ergonomic control.

ACCESSORIES Extraction system for marking
ULT has introduced LAS 260, a new system for extracting and filtering harmful particles in laser marking and ultra-short pulse laser processing. The system provides safety for automated and semi-automated production processes to be used as a stand-alone or inline solution. The filter’s large storage capacity provides less downtime and reduced maintenance and operating costs. This is achieved through using an F9 particle filter cassette as an extensive pre- filter and a combinational filter cassette H14/A10 as a particle and adsorption filter. Filtration efficiency for fine dust (DIN EN 779) and suspended solids (DIN EN 1822) is up to 99.995 per cent.
The LAS 260 design allows easy and quick filter exchange. LAS 260 is suitable for extraction and filtration tasks.

OPTICS Automatic shuttle table
Eurolaser has released an automatic shuttle table to allow the laser cutting process to be continued with no downtime. While one table is being processed, the
TruLaser Station 5005
Trumpf has released its five-axis TruLaser Station 5005, a machine for welding mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, non-ferrous metals and plastics. It is suitable for applications in medical and electrical sectors and throughout the precision engineering industry in general.
The machine has a small footprint of 800 x 900mm2
door, and integrated dust collector. Depending on the application, it can be specified with the Trumpf disk, fibre, pulsed and diode laser with an output of up to 1kW.

finished materials can be unloaded from the other table and this reloaded again from an
ergonomically favourable position. The company’s existing shuttle table version has undergone further
automation. A button is pressed to release the newly loaded table. Changeover starts automatically once the cutting process on the second table is completed.

Mid-IR PiShaper systems
In addition to its three linear axes, the TruLaser Station 5005 has a rotary axis and a swivel axis for focusing the optics, permitting welding angles up to 120°. The working volume of 300 x 300 x 500mm provides room to process larger parts. Users can also choose between fixed and scanning optics. The machine has a tiltable control panel with touch screen, which is mounted on a swivel arm that allows each operator to adjust its orientation. The control system has been optimised for welding applications and a teach function is incorporated.

AdlOptica has extended its PiShaper family of beam shaping optics, with devices for the mid-IR spectrum 2-8µm. These include PiShaper 6_6_2.05, PiShaper 6_6_1.9- 2.8, PiShaper 6_7_4.4-4.8, and versions for other wavelengths that are available on request. The mid-IR PiShaper systems
The operator has direct access to the control interface via the NC program making it possible to manipulate a pneumatic clamping device, for example. A remote diagnostic function is also provided.

are made from optical YAG and ZnSe and convert, with nearly 100 per cent efficiency, a Gaussian laser beam into a flat-top beam of low divergence keeping a uniform intensity profile over a large working distance. The systems provide the same conditions of beam shaping at any wavelength of the working spectral band.
