Installing a new LVD Strippit Orion Plus 3015 laser cutting system has not only enhanced flexibility and improved productivity at Mississauga, ON-based Solutions Custom Fabricating Inc. (SCF) but it has also opened up several important, new areas of business for the firm.  

Products
GF AgieCharmilles has announced that its new LASER ablation centers will be making their North American debut at IMTS 2010. The product line was introduced in Europe in 2009 and features six machines, including two 5-axis laser ablation centers, the LASER 1000 5Ax and LASER 1200 5Ax. The LASER line was developed and introduced to further expand GF AgieCharmille’s commitment to providing extreme precision and intelligent machining.

Bystronic has incorporated a power saving mode into all machines equipped with the ByLaser 6000 and ByLaser 4400BCL series resonators. The new Power Saving Mode reduces the electrical power consumption of the complete laser cutting system by 50 to 70 percent during standby or non-cutting times.

LVD Strippit has introduced Sirius, an automation-ready flying optics laser cutting system.





Bystronic has introduced the unique high speed laser cutting system BySprint Pro.
