First 6 kW fibre laser in UK on show at MSS Lasers' Open House this month

To be held at the company's Rugby headquarters, the new Eagle iNspire1530 fibre laser machine has the power to cut carbon steel up to 25 mm thick, as well as reflective materials such as copper and brass. Linear drives on all axes deliver 6 G acceleration, while table change times are only 10 seconds, maximising productivity and reducing downtime. Fibre laser technology gives many advantages, including: simpler machine construction, since no turbine or mirrors are required, resulting in high reliability; 70% lower power consumption; and no laser gasses. With 6 kW of power the revolutionary iNspire 1530 is the first fibre laser to offer a real alternative to CO2 laser technology, it is claimed. In addition to the fibre laser, visitors will be able to see MSS Lasers' range of nitrogen generation equipment. Indeed, two new models will be unveiled - the Nitrocube Fiber and Nitrocube HP. The Nitrocube Fiber gives 50% higher flow rates to cope with large nozzle diameters on fibre lasers, while the Nitrocube HP offers 180 cubic m/h and extremely high purity gas for the best edge quality. Both machines are available under MSS Lasers' Nitrogen Supply Contract, which offers a fixed contract for five years with no upfront cost, making this an affordable way of taking control of nitrogen supply.
