Laser offers unique capabilities PDF Print E-mail
The Hyper Turbo-X laser system from Mazak Optonics is designed for high-speed cutting of 2-D parts up to one in. thickness in steel.
This laser system offers unique capabilities to improve part precision and finish, reduce setup time, and automatically perform secondary operations, which slash costs and lead-time. The laser system employs a new bed concept called a Takumi frame. Unlike cast beds with open areas that reduce stiffness, the Takumi frame is an enclosed box-frame design throughout.  Moreover, the Takumi principal of tabbed laser-cut sides and cross-members, connected with a series of tie rods, results in high vibration dampening effect from internal and external sources. Smooth acceleration and a top traverse rate of 1,969 ipm are accomplished through non-contact linear motors, which both drive and guide the axis motions on a thin film of air. The table axis (X-axis) utilizes two guides and motors, while the Y- and Z-axes contain a single guide and motor.  Anti-friction linear roller assemblies support the table and part loads.
