Tec Systems offers flat-bed laser cutter for composites

Tec Systems has developed a flatbed laser cutting machine for materials such as carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) and PEEK (polyether ether ketone). Fitted with a solid-state fibre laser as standard, the exact choice of laser source (power, wavelength, spot size) is made according to the application.

The machine is designed for manual loading by an operator to a cutting bed featuring an X-Y table of 2 by 1 m. A CNC controlled Z-axis adjusts the height to cope with different thicknesses of sheet.

To achieve the optimum results, a galvo-head scans the profile and offers high speed cutting, with the option of multi-pass cutting to achieve the required edge quality.

Tec Systems works with all the major laser source manufacturers and can therefore incorporate the laser source of choice to suit customer preference and the specific application.
