Just one day after launching the latest 4.5kW Mitsubishi laser processing machine, World Machinery sold the first device. Interest levels are high and three more sales are now in the process of being completed, according to the company.
High interest in the ML3015LVP-45CF-R sheet cutting system is being attributed to the quality of finish, quick set up times and low cost of ownership, due to reduced gas consumption and lower energy and servicing costs.
World Machinery's managing director Wayne Hipkiss said: "We are delighted the reaction to this machine has been so positive and so emphatic. The demonstrations we gave showed some amazing achievements; such as perfect 2mm diameter holes cut in 12mm steel plate, thick aluminium cut so precisely that many visitors thought we were showing examples of water jet cut products.
"The speed of the machine is also quite incredible, with a head speed of up to 10m/sec. The low running costs, combined with Mitsubishi's reliability, is making the machine a great proposition for manufacturers, as well as sheet metalwork sub-contractors."
The ML3015LVP-45CF-R incorporates breakthroughs in gas discharge laser machine design. Innovative control technology, combined with an ultra rigid machine frame and high speed drive system, enhances the ability to process thin materials at high speeds.
