FiberCUT

Laser Mechanisms is the recognised world leader in the design and manufacture of laser processing heads, beam delivery components and articulated arm systems. Their products are used in every type of industrial application including cutting, welding, drilling, scribing, surface treatment and others. Over the years the company has introduced many innovations to enhance the performance, safety, capability, ease of use and cost effectiveness of laser processing.

The FiberCUT processing head collimates and focuses a fiber delivered laser beam and directs it, along with cutting gas, through its nozzle for optimal metal cutting. The nozzle senses the required tip stand-off distance from the workpiece and automatically maintains that distance with its internal z-axis drive system. The head’s cover glass protects the lens from process debris. Technical highlights include:

• Rated for lasers of up to 4kW power (HR version up to 15kW)
• Compact lightweight design enables the use of 16kg robots
• Provides error signals in the event of collision or over temperature
• True 3D capability
• Low noise height sensing is insensitive to cutting plasma or piercing debris
• Robust cam operated z-axis drive system
• Sealed beam path
• Cartridge style drawer provides quick and easy access to the cover glass
• All wiring and gas lines are internally plumbed, avoiding costly snags and breaks
• Models available for all common fiber connector types

The FiberCUT is an advanced high performance laser processing head for robotic applications. Available in straight and right-angle versions, the head is capable of cutting a wide range of materials. Its rugged design ensures maximum reliability, even in high duty cycle applications and harsh factory floor environments. A 2D model is also available, especially designed for use on flatbed cutting systems.

FiberCUT delivers user-friendly operation and reliable performance for all robotic cutting applications.
