The LCE Laser Series of cutting machines offer a 6 kW CO2 laser on compact footprint machines that mount laser and chiller in one unit. Said to provide power, precision and productivity, the machines are capable of slicing through 1.5" mild steel, 1" stainless and 0.5" thick aluminum. In fact, the 6 kW laser can cut mild steel of up to 1" unmanned. In addition, the machines produce weld-ready edges with minimum or no deburring and turn on small radii with accuracy, the company says.
Double drive pinion gears, according to the company, accurately move the laser in the X and Y axes, reducing backlash to near zero. Linear guides move the gantry using a dual servo system that delivers a positioning accuracy of ±0.0008"/19.7". Said to be capable of precision without sacrificing productivity, the high-centering laser focuses the beam at the center part of the nozzle even during high speed cutting.
The series is available in five models with Y-axis travels of between 104" and 236" capable of handling a variety of jobs. The X axis delivers an unlimited 40" in pitch, and the Z axis is 7.8".
Rapid feed rates of 0 to 944" per minute X and Y are said to make the machines useful for high-productivity laser machining. The machines are also available with optional 4,000 W laser resonators.
AMPG can’t help but take risks — its management doesn’t know how to run machines. But these risks have enabled it to become a runaway success in its market.
This new quick-change tooling system enables shops to get more production from their Swiss turning centers through reduced tool setup time and matches the performance of a solid tool.
There are usually better solutions to chatter than just reducing the feed rate. Through vibration analysis, the chatter problem can be solved, enabling much higher metal removal rates, better quality and longer tool life.
