Concept Laser introduces titanium processing Mlab cusing R

The Concept Laser Mlab cusing R has been designed to meet the stringent ATEX directives for the safe processing of reactive titanium and titanium alloys. It features a user-friendly pull-out drawer system which includes both the construction and dosing chambers and the powder storage container. A glove box module is docked onto the front of the machine for loading and unloading. The build module is simply pulled out into the glove box. With the build module in position, the glove box is then purged with argon, making the chamber inert, an essential prerequisite for safe titanium processing. The operator accesses the build chamber through the glove box to load or remove finished components. The build module is returned to the machine and the glove box can then be removed. The drawer system is available in three different build envelope versions: 50 by 50, 70 by 70 and 90 by 90 mm. The height of the build envelope is 80 mm in all versions. At the heart of the Mlab cusing R is a robust and powerful 100 W fibe laser with a focus diameter of less than 25 µm. This enables intricate component structures and superior surface finishes to be achieved. The 705 mm wide by 1,833 mm tall by 1,220 mm deep Mlab cusing R weighs 500 kg and its compact size allows it to fit into production or laboratory environments.
