Redesigned LVD Orion 3015 laser cutting system features Touch-L interface

LVD has redesigned its Orion 3015 Plus CO2 laser cutting system which now has the company's latest Touch-L graphical user interface technology. This allows both routine and complex operations to be completed with minimal operator input, making it suitable for entry-level users.

Touch-L simplifies the laser cutting process through use of intuitive graphical icons and visual indicators to display and control functions. It also performs automatic nesting and job generation. Cutting qualities, position and type of lead-in, and adding or relocating micro joints for all online generated jobs, are all easily adjusted. LVD's Orion 3015 is capable of processing a range of materials in sheet sizes up to 1,500 by 3,000 mm. It features automatic cutting gas selection, automatic focal positioning and automatic cutting gas pressure control with servo valve to further aid in machine set-up and operation. The laser cutting system is equipped as standard with process control, which automatically senses piercing times and detects and controls plasma when cutting stainless steel and aluminium. This feature optimises processing time and minimises part damage due to loss of cut. Orion 3015 Plus employs the Fanuc RF excited fast axial flow CO2 laser. The laser, CNC control, drives and motors are fully integrated, providing superior processing speed, high reliability, and low operating and maintenance costs. Automation options are also available. The laser cutting machine comes equipped or can be retrofitted with an automatic load/unload unit or a Compact Tower (CT-L) warehouse system.
