Combi laser cutting
machine for profiles,
tubes and sheets
STIEFELMAYER has launched a new combination machine that allows
profiles and tubes as well as sheets to be processed, without having to
convert the machine.
On one side is a flatbed laser cutting machine for large sheets of
3,000 x 1,500mm in dimension, while the other side features equipment
for profile and tube processing. A standard flatbed machine can only
process tube sections following a large amount of structural conversion
work on the machine, and the quantities are often too small to warrant
installing a separate tube laser machine.
The working area for sheets is comparable with existing laser cutting
machines. The sheet is loaded using the change table and is processed
over the complete working area with the flying optics.
The principle of operation for tube and profile processing in the
Stiefelmayer combi meets the established principle for conventional
lathes with bar feed. Parts are either cut off from the profile, which is
advanced automatically, or profile sections are clamped between the
master chuck and tailstock chuck and processed along the length.
The working area for tube and profile processing runs parallel to the
sheet processing area. The Y-axis projects over the sheet area, and this
side of the machine features an extension arm along the whole length.
With a sliding door, which opens the complete work space, as well
as a mobile control panel, the side for profile processing is also very
easy to operate. With a bar feed with a length of 6m, profiles up to a
circumference of 120mm are fed automatically. For larger profiles or
special requirements, there is a sliding tailstock with manual collet chuck
in the working area. The maximum clamping length is 3m. With the flying
optics, it is also possible to process over the whole length in the profile
working area.
Anextensiveoff-lineprogramming system is available for programming
both processing technologies.
