The flexible automation systems keep pace with the high speed cutting of the Phoenix laser and reduce material handling and preparation time to maximise machine productivity. They also facilitate fully automated, lights-out processing.
Maximum sheet sizes of 4,000 by 2,000 mm (Phoenix FL 4020) and 6,000 by 2,000 mm (Phoenix FL 6020) and material thicknesses from 0.8 to 25 mm feature. Complete loading and unloading cycles are 65 seconds for Phoenix FL 4020 and 90 seconds for the Phoenix FL 6020.
The load/unload system is offered as an option or can be retrofitted to a Phoenix FL 4020 or -6020 machine. It is a robust construction to handle large pallets. Unprocessed material can be stacked to a height of 159 mm and finished parts can be stacked as high as 240 mm.
The system features a streamlined design that enables access the raw material and easy removal of the unload pallet from above. The area above the laser table remains free for manual load and unload.
The Phoenix FL 4020 is available with six different versions of Compact Tower (CT-L) for loading, unloading and storage of raw material and finished parts. The CT-L enables automated production from stored raw material to stacked, cut parts in a compact, small footprint system. CT-L versions for the Phoenix FL 4020 include a basic system with one tower in five-, 10- or 14-pallet configurations, as well as a two-tower CT-L system for high volume applications. The second tower adds nine pallets to the CT-L 5, 14 pallets to the CT-L 10, and 18 pallets to the CT-L 14. Each input and output pallet has a capacity of up to 3,000 kg and 240 mm of stacking height. Maximum sheet dimensions are 4,095 by 2,055 mm, 20 mm thickness.
