Knuth 4000W 157”x79” ACE Laser 4020 4.0 IPG Laser Cutting Machine 490004

Description

Laser cutting systems have developed into one of the most versatile metalworking tools, as well as becoming more affordable as technology advances. Today’s fiber optic lasers can cut ferrous and non-ferrous materials of different thickness utilizing only a photonic beam and assist gasses. Fiber lasers offer blistering speed for thinner applications, as well as high cutting capacities with greater kilowatts, whiles simultaneously offering excellent edge finish and high throughput. Knuth’s ACE Fiber Laser Cutting System provides extensive standard options including a shuttle table and available sizes for just about every metalworking need.

Features

• This state-of-the-art laser cutting system features a gantry-style construction with drives on both sides and a large working area that can accommodate most of the common plate sizes
• The Y axis portal features an aluminum die-cast construction with low weight and high rigidity for excellent dynamics
• Thermal treatment of the meticulously welded machine frame and all structural parts reliably eliminates production-related material stresses – ensuring long-lasting, precise alignment of all components. This ensures long-term and reproducible cutting edge accuracy and long machine life
• The precision linear guides require minimal maintenance and are designed for long-lasting precision and high cutting speeds
• High-precision rack-and-pinion gears on the Z and Y axis ensure superior and reliable positioning accuracy
• Powerful servo-motors on all axes
• For the safety of people and the environment, the cutting system is equipped with a machine housing and filter extraction system. Special protective glass windows make it possible to observe the cutting process
• An automatic shuttle table system minimizes production downtimes, since the table can be loaded and unloaded during the cutting process
• Perpendicularity or squareness tolerance for laser cutting acc. to DIN EN ISO 9013-1

Control

• Easy operation with user-friendly optimized interface
• A technology database includes cutting parameters and pre-set cycles for various metals
• The efficient processing of all cutting jobs is further supported by user-friendly software for the selection of process parameters
• Solenoid and proportional valves regulate the gas pressures (set in the control) during the cutting process
