Fiber Laser System
April 7, 2011
Cincinnati Inc.'s CL-900series fiber laser cutting systems combines fiber laser technology with thecompany's 12,000 ipm linear-motor axis drives to create an easy-to-use lasercutting system available for sheet metal processing. The solid state fiberlaser cuts maintenance costs associated with conventional CO2 lasers byeliminating laser gas, internal optics, glassware, blowers and vacuum pumps.Fiber lasers deliver the beam via a flexible glass fiber; eliminating theexternal mirrors, bellows and beam purge gas needed with CO2 lasers.
According to CincinnatiInc., fiber lasers concentrate more energy into the cutting spot, allowing moreagile, higher-quality cutting at higher efficiencies; making fiber lasersuseful for high-volume cutting of intricate shapes and part designs.
CL-900 series lasercutting systems are available with bed sizes of 5 x 10 ft and 6 x 12 ft. ThePC-based HMI control comes with Cincinnati's Programming and Nesting Softwareand is available with a web cam for monitoring of the cutting process.
