Axel 4020 offers high performance cutting of thin or thick materials

The modular construction Axel 4020, the latest Axel laser cutting machine, incorporates the most recent advances in linear drive technology, laser power and control systems to provide superior cutting capabilities, high flexibility and ease of use. The 4020 is able to handle sheets up to 4 by 2 m and offers maximum performance when processing thin sheets and thick materials. The high beam quality allows processing of thin material at speeds up to 40 m/min and thick material up to 25 mm mild steel with high quality surface finishes. The high pressure (clean cut) cutting head can hold a 5, 7.5 or 10 inch cutting lens. The 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 laser source, CNC, PLC and motors are integrated and interfaced as a complete system to optimise machine performance, offering high speed and reliability, low operating and maintenance costs. The integrated control provides perfect reproduction of programmed contours, producing acute angles at high speed. All parameters, diagnostic and start-up procedures are conveniently displayed on a colour screen. The 32 bit control also features powerful mathematical capabilities and an extensive material library. The Axel 4020 is available with an automated load/unload system or can be retrofitted with such a system at a later date.
