In July 2016, we delivered the Coherent META 2C cutting system, which will be used for cutting sheet metal templates.
The core of the system is a J-3 pulsed CO2 laser with a peak power of 750 W. The laser and the work surface are fully covered. The cover allows loading or unloading from two sides. The laser beam guide is able to work in a range of 1220 x 1220mm thanks to the two-axis travel.
The individual axes are equipped with encoders which ensures high accuracy and repeatability of the whole system. The automatic focusing of the cutting head is based on a capacitive sensor.
The system was supplied complete including cooling and extraction unit.
Parameters:
- CO2 laser 10600nm(Coherent J-3)
- Power 300W (peak 750W)
- Range: x = 1220 mm y = 1220 mm z = 300 mm
- Max. cutting speed 800mm/s
- Accuracy 25um
- Repeatability 5um
META systems are also suitable for cutting other materials such as plastics, wood, paper, cardboard, composite materials.
