Amada’s ENSIS fibre laser uses less energy
The Amada ENSIS 3015AJ fibre laser CNC profiling centre requires just 2 kW of laser output to manufacture mild steel products that in the past could only be produced using a 4 kW laser.
The secret behind the innovation lies in the ability to modulate the laser beam (flexibly) as a function of sheet thickness, thus delivering profiling operations with reduced power requirements. This is in marked contrast to conventional fibre laser cutting systems that require changing the focus lens in order to cut a range of material thicknesses, says Amada.
Complete with high torque motor and helical rack drive in the X/Y axes, and a carriage with a low centre of gravity, the ENSIS 3015AJ is designed to process both thin and thick sheet materials up to 25 mm. Feed rates of up to 100 m/min are possible
