Improved precision laser cutting system

and sheet material applications in the automotive and aerospace industry. Rofin has revised the current 5 th StarCut Tube generation and added several improvements. The new high-precision cutting head, BAK-MC, features excellent optical properties, and allows the micro- adjustment of the assist gas nozzle in the x/y plane without changing the beam guidance. With the integrated drawer, changing the protective glass is simple, and requires no dismantling. Offering a width of 600mm, the enlarged working chamber provides enough room for long parts and/or customer-specific handlings. A drawer allows the removal of finished parts at any time during production, even during wet-cutting. If 600mm is not enough, for instance for hypo-tube cutting, an automatic part removal system can be added. Rofin-Baasel Lasertech GmbH & Co KG – Germany
