Going “Green” with Laser Cutting Systems
The ByLaser 6000 and ByLaser 4400BCL series resonators from Bystronic reduce energy costs, reduce carbon footprint and possible state or local incentives for electrical efficiency.
Advanced Software Drives Laser Cutting of Electrical Laminations
European Electrical Laminations uses Lantek Expert CAD/CAM software on its Trumpf laser cutting machines to produce electrical laminations for stators and rotors, armatures, stator segments, and pole laminations for motors and generators used in wind turbines, high speed rail and power generation.
Keeping Pace With Production: Automating Your Solid-State Laser
When a laser system is waiting for material handling, it is not making money. Automated systems must be able to cope with the common differences between laser types. The process of selecting the best choice becomes increasingly involved when the system uses solid state laser cutting machines. Here are some important points to consider.
2D Tube Gear Laser for High-Speed Tube & Pipe Cutting
The TUBE GEAR 2D laser-cutting machine from Mazak Optonics uses a triple chuck system that minimizes warp and material vibration when cutting thin-walled square tube and pipe with diameters of up to 6 in.
Advanced 5-Axis Fiber Laser Cutting System
The cantilever-style NTC TLH 5-axis fiber laser processing system from Komatsu NTC America achieves processing times two to three times faster than traditional CO2 and provide significant savings in operating costs. This system is ideal for hot stamping applications and high speed cutting of thin gage mild steel, aluminum or stainless steel up to ¼ in.
Third Generation Six-Axis System for Machining Formed Metal Parts
The LASERDYNE 430 series of systems from Prima Power Laserdyne are designed for cutting, welding and drilling of 2D and 3D drawn, thermoformed, hydroformed, punched, stamped and spun metal parts.
Breakthroughs in Laser Cutting
Suddenly, the range of applications where CO2 lasers had an advantage is significantly smaller. For the first time, an all-purpose solid-state 2D laser cutting machine can cut all the standard types and thicknesses of materials at excellent quality without downtime – one of several groundbreaking technologies that will change the way shops choose to invest.
Joining Technologies Announces Promotions to CEO and Chairman of the Board
Joining Technologies has promoted Dave Hudson to chief executive officer and Michael Francoeur to chairman.
TRUMPF and Partners Win German Future Prize
TRUMPF’s Dr. Dirk Sutter recently accepted The German Future Prize for his work with the ultrashort pulse laser.
Richards Sheet Metal Celebrates 85th Anniversary with Expansion
Richards Sheet Metal will increase their capacity from approximately 70,000 sq ft to 90,000 sq ft with the expansion.
The Cost of Slag
Cutting Through the Buildup: The time and money associated with managing slag is often mistaken as an unavoidable cost in laser cutting operations. But once you realize the full impact that slag has on your laser cutting process, there are ways to cut costs . . . by cutting through the slag.
BRINGING A VISION TO LIFE AT 6 SALON
The owners of 6 Salon had a unique vision: to help them make that vision a reality they turned to a talented designer, and to 3-Dimensional Services.
