Finn-Power Introduces
New Generation of
Flying Optics Laser
 Finn-Power
has recently introduced the L6 - a new generation flying
optics laser. The L6 features innovative linear drive motor
technology to allow maximum speeds even in small notches
or narrow contours.
The Finn-Power L6 can process sheet sizes
up to 60"x120" (1,565 mm x 3,074 mm) and up to 0.78" (20
mm) thickness. It enhances laser cutting for various material
thickness and material types. Performance values include
positioning speed of 11,811" (300 m/min), acceleration over
2g and cutting speeds up to 2,362"/min (60 m/min). Unlike
conventional repositioning, where the straight line movements
of the cutting head consume time, Finn-Power optimizes the
cutting head movement with Ping Pong repositioning.
In addition,
L6 is a compact machine with the resonator and CNC built
into the structure.
It is also designed with the following
features for enhanced flexibility and efficiency.
Linear
Drive
Technology for High Speeds
The positioning technology
of the flying optics L6 is based on digitally-controlled
linear drive motors.
-
Finn-Power's frame construction eliminates the technical problems sometimes associated with linear drives - the risk of contamination and heat generation.
Extremely high speeds are possible due to low friction and direct drive system. Rigid frame design is patented by Finn-Power. The frame withstands all the forces of high-speed positioning and provides a solid base for stable beam delivery optics.
Up to 4 kW Laser Power
Finn-Power L6 features
a 4 kW fast axial flow CO2 laser.
With N2 gas cutting speeds
up to 2,362"/min (60 m/min) are reached. The L6 laser resonator
is OEM-designed in close cooperation with Finn-Power to assure
it meets all the quality and performance requirements of
the high-performance laser cutting center. Laser beam path
protection is continuously pressurized by specially filtered
and dried air. Constant cutting quality and cutting parameters
are maintained by integrated adaptive optics. Fast laser
power measurement has been integrated. The resonator has
an extended preventative maintenance interval.
Extreme Accuracy
The Finn-Power Laser L6 uses
digitally controlled linear drive motor technology to allow
high-speed operation, high acceleration, as well as the highest
accuracy for any contour or shape. Positioning accuracy is
verified for each system according to Finn-Power´s
factory standard LKP 7500.
Auto Focus Cutting Head
To minimize set-up
time, an advanced, high-pressure cutting head is integrated
into the system. A constant distance between material
surface and the nozzle is achieved with a non-contact, capacitive,
integrated sensing unit. The cutting head does not have
to change when a focal lens change is required. Only a
new lens cartridge has to be inserted.
Compact, Modern Design
The Finn-Power L6 looks
as modern as it is technically advanced. It is part of Finn-Power's
new technology range, designed also to contribute favorably
to the visual installation environment.
Material Flow for
Productive Flexibility
The productivity of the cutting system
is increased by an automatic shuttle table system that allows
loading and unloading of the material during the cutting
operation.
Positioning of the shuttle tables is possible
on two sides of the machine to match plant layout or production
flow requirements. Loading, unloading and material change
can be automated by Finn-Power's
new solution.
