Laser cutting machines

With laser cutting machines, a wide range of materials can be cut with high precision with minimal time investment. The cut edges are very clean and therefore almost free of reworking, the heat-affected zone is very narrow and therefore the structural change is very small. The technique is extremely flexible; there are hardly any limits to the geometries that can be cut. The technology shows its greatest strengths in sheet thicknesses of less than 10 mm, although the development of ever more powerful laser sources also enables economical cuts in increasing thicknesses.

CNC laser cutting systems are used in numerous industries because of their diverse and flexible applications. Especially when high precision, high speeds, economic efficiency as well as flexibility in material processing are important and the processing of predominantly thinner material thicknesses is carried out. This is the case in the automotive industry for the construction of prototypes or mass production, as well as in plant construction, facade construction, shipbuilding and numerous other industries in the field of metal processing.

The purchase of a laser cutting machine is particularly worthwhile if you either have to cut materials in thin material thickness range with the highest precision and the greatest possible processing speed, or you want to process a wide range of materials in the to medium sheet thickness range with only one technology and high precision. Depending on the required accuracies and the tolerances to be maintained, as well as the required cutting speed, laser technology is without alternative. However, the investment costs associated with the purchase are usually higher than those associated with other technologies. As a rule, the higher the utilisation, the quicker the purchase pays off.

ACCURL laser cutting systems are characterised by precision, flexibility and automation. In one work step (with appropriate equipment and system configuration) sheets or pipes can be cut, bevel cuts can be made and markings can be added. The laser cutting systems have a modular design and can thus also cover extraordinary processing sizes - in addition, top components and several automation systems (including automatic sheet edge detection, nozzle calibration and cleaning) enable permanently precise and process-reliable operation. Furthermore, laser cutting machines from ACCURL can be expanded with a variety of automation systems for even more efficient production: from the automatic shuttle table to the smart material handling system with storage solution, sorting function and more.

Regular maintenance of a laser cutting system is important in order to maintain the high functional reliability and precision in the long term. ACCURL offers fibre laser systems that have a much lower maintenance requirement than CO2 laser systems, as the fibre lasers used completely eliminate the otherwise maintenance and cost-intensive effort of a CO2 laser source. In addition, the robust design and the durable machine components of the laser cutting system offer excellent conditions for long-term high-quality production.

A decisive advantage of the fibre laser machine is the saving of operating costs. Due to high material utilisation and maximum precision in the cutting process, less rework is necessary. The high efficiency of the laser technology used and the short processing times reduce the unit costs, which means that a high level of profitability can be achieved. In addition, the multitude of automation solutions frees up employees for other productive tasks.

• The  MasterLINE is a process-reliable, powerful and cost-effective system for high-quality 2D laser cutting
• The SMART Cube combines efficiency with a minimal footprint and is the ideal solution for compact laser cutting
• The TubeLINE BK is a high-precision and fast solution for 2D and 3D processing of pipes, profiles and beams
• The TubeLINE D was developed for the reliable fast 2D and 3D processing of particularly large pipes, profiles and beams

The compact SMART Cube laser cutting system stands for precise 2D laser cutting on the smallest footprint and is perfectly suited for cutting small to medium quantities. It is available in three different working areas and with laser sources from 1 to 12 kW as well as with a manually extendable cutting table. More efficiency and higher production speed is offered by the low-cost 2D laser cutting system MasterLINE. Due to the automatic shuttle table integrated as standard and other possible processing areas, it is more powerful and generates more output in less time. The system can be equipped with laser powers of up to 60 kW.
