World Machinery launches Mitsubishi laser system at refurbished showroom

1 min read

World Machinery and Mitsubishi Electric are co-hosting a VIP event at World Machinery's recently refurbished showroom, at its Bridgnorth HQ in Shropshire, from 18-21 April, 9am to 5pm each day.

The event is the UK's first showcasing of Mitsubishi Electric's latest 2D laser processing system and visitors will be able to see the machine working as it would in a production environment. The ML3015LVP-45CF-R incorporates some of the very latest breakthroughs in gas-discharge laser machine design. Contemporary, innovative control technology has been combined with an ultra-rigid machine frame and high-speed drive system, enhancing the processing ability of thin materials at high speeds. The machine's Beam Stabiliser and Clean Optics Path technologies improve processing performance and provide long-lasting stability over the entire work area. And from a safety and workplace perspective, a full machine cover prevents entanglement with machinery or beam reflection, while a sophisticated dust-collection system offers on-the-spot dust collection during processing. Rated at 4.5 kW, the machine is said to be more powerful than its contemporaries with lower running costs, due to its innovative cross-flow laser head and its gas-sealed resonator, which requires a third less CO2. Its Just-On-Time discharge system also dramatically reduces power consumption while the beam is off. The VIP demonstration event will include a lunch provided by the oldest pub in Shropshire; and, for those travelling from further afield, free overnight accommodation can be provided at the nearby 16th Century Mill Hotel.
