New machines make Amada’s LCG-AJ fibre laser profiler line-up comprehensive

New machines have been added to Amada’s LCG-AJ fibre laser profiler line-up, in order to make it a comprehensive range; it now includes 2, 3, 4, 6, 9 kW power versions. All are equipped with Amada-developed fibre laser oscillators.

Amada was the first laser machine manufacturer to develop its own fibre laser source. Offering high cutting speed, low running costs and the ability to cut copper, brass and titanium, the LCG-AJ sets a new benchmark for performance and price at this level of investment, ensuring optimum productivity and value, says the company.

The LCG-AJ range has a lightweight Y-axis carriage with low centre of gravity providing a 30% weight reduction. Most LCG-AJ fibre lasers incorporate an automatic nozzle changer, allowing uninterrupted processing, and all are compatible with Amada’s Digital Support System (ADSS), which allows customers to analyse and compare machine performance, as well as allowing the machine tool maker to provide proactive service support.

With a positioning speed of 170 m/min, “the fastest in class”, they are also low energy consumers, thanks to the efficiency of the fibre laser technology. Using individual high power diode modules allows for an exceptionally high beam quality, giving higher cutting speeds, compared to systems with a lower beam quality.

Amada’s latest AMNC 3i control ensures simple operation, with its smart-phone type 21.5-in screen, including on-screen nesting, program scheduling and one-touch set-up features.

The LCG-3015AJ machines are fully compatible with the company’s latest, high speed part picking system, the TK L. This unit gives high speed removal and stacking of finished components, increasing productivity and minimising downtime between operations. All LCG-AJ machines can be equipped with load\unload systems.
