LVD reduces CO2 laser cutting system start-up and improves processing flexibility
1 min read
LVD has introduced an advanced Fanuc resonator and control package to select models of its CO2 laser cutting systems. The fully integrated Fanuc 31i-L CNC control and i-C Series resonator package reduces laser start up time and provides increased flexibility for part processing.
LVD's integrated system combines state-of-the-art hardware and high laser beam quality for optimum process reliability and superior cutting and results in greater energy efficiency.
The CNC control, coupled with LVD's Touch-L 19-inch touchscreen graphical user interface, give the user dynamic control over the cutting process via an intuitive display. Laser processing time is optimised as resonator start up time is reduced as much as 50% over previous generation resonators. The Fanuc i-C laser source features the shortest warm-up cycle times possible.
The control's enhanced pulse frequency range provides a better cut surface quality and smooth, burr-free edges, says LVD. Advanced control functions provide individual control of the laser power supply units for increased flexibility and greater uniformity in laser marking or etching applications.
The control automatically regulates the use of electricity with optimised Quick Power Saving Mode and Eco Power Saving Mode features.
Optimised laser gas flow and reduced thermal load to system mirrors increases the time between required maintenance for system components.
The i-C laser is offered in power ranges of 2.5, 4 or 6 kW.
