Automatic focal positioning and more
The Orion 3015plus and the Orion 3015 Auto Load/Unload extend the Orion range of laser cutting machines.
The Orion 3015plus provides automatic focal positioning, greater process control functionality, and an optional automatic load/unload system in addition to all standard features found on the Orion.
LVD’s Orion laser cutting systems allow cost efficient processing of a range of materials in sheet sizes up to 1500 x 3000 mm.
Orion 3015plus is enhanced with automatic NC Focus which uses an AC servo motor to automatically adjust to the optimum focal position for the material being processed. Focal positions for a variety of materials are automatically determined by the machine’s on-board technology tables and automatically set using the NC Focus system.
A built-in capacitive height sensor automatically maintains a constant distance between the head and the plate, automatically compensating for any unevenness in the material.
The standard laser cutting head accommodates a 5” or 7.5” quick-change lens. These water-cooled quick-change lenses can be installed or exchanged easily, using a self-centering system. Lens calibration is programmable and quick to achieve.
Automatic cutting gas selection and automatic cutting gas pressure control with servo valve are other standard features that further simplify machine set-up and operation.
A high-pressure cutting head produces exceptionally clean cuts and is equipped with a safety system that protects the head from collision with the workpiece.
The Orion 3015plus features Process Control as standard which automatically senses piercing times and detects and controls plasma when cutting stainless steel and aluminum. This enhanced feature maximizes processing time and minimizes part damage due to loss of cut.
In addition, an Air/Oil Spray system safely disperses splatter and lubricates the sheet when processing thicker materials, ensuring part quality is maintained.
Orion laser cutting systems employ the GE Fanuc RF excited fast axial flow CO2 laser. The laser, CNC control, drives and motors are fully integrated, providing superior processing speed, high reliability, and low operating and maintenance costs. Orion 3015plus features an enhanced Fanuc 16i – LB CNC control with 9.5” color screen, expanded memory capacity and additional control functionality.
Optional CADMAN-L 3D offline programming software provides a powerful laser-cutting CAM package.
The Orion 3015plus is automation ready and can be equipped or retrofitted with an automatic load/unload system.
