Laser switches from flat to tube in minutes

It takes less than three minutes to change automatically from the tube machining configuration to flat steel sheet machining – and vice versa – when operating the new ADIGE LT Combo. The maximum sheet size that can be machined on the LT Combo is 3000 by 8000 mm, while maximum tube section sizes of 225 mm (round), 160 mm by 160 mm (square) and 200 mm by 100 mm (rectangular) can be machined along a maximum length of 6500 mm. An integral database with a complete range of cutting parameters guarantees repeatability of cutting quality, with the machine control generating the optimum working parameters (cutting power and speed) at any point in the machining cycle. Machining of flat sheet is completed to a positioning accuracy of 0.05 mm and repeatability of 0.03 mm, while 3D design and programming of tubular components and complex tubular structures (frames) is made simple with ADIGE CADCAM Tubework and Assembler software.
