Maximum flexibility in laser material processing

Flexible Laser Cell mit Schutzumhausung

Proven system technology for the highest flexibility and quality requirements: The highly flexible laser processing cell combines the innovative concept of 3D laser cutting and welding in one machine. Smart automation solutions allow autonomous production with loading and unloading parallel to production time. The highest quality requirements are met by ideally matched processing optics and the use of laser technology.

Highly flexible
The combination of up to three laser processing optics allowss 3D cutting and welding with just one clamping. Cutting and welding processes can be implemented independently of each other with up to six degrees of freedom. There are thus almost no limits to the design of three-dimensional assemblies.

Precise and economical
By combining work sequences in one processing station, non-value-adding setup and transport times and buffering are eliminated. The quick-change system enables the production of a wide variety of components, even in small batch sizes. The laser management system supplies all processing optics from the same laser beam source in a cost-optimized manner. The flexible configuration of processing optic

The FLC - Advantages at a glance

Quick change system for the clamping devices by quick coupling of the entire media supply:

  • Shortened setup times during product changeover by up to 40 %
  • Short response times to fluctuating incoming orders or changing batch sizes

3D laser processing, simultaneously with up to three processing optics in one machine

  • High cost-effectiveness due to reduction of setup and transport times
  • No Buffering

Maximum accessibility for 3D machining due to additional three axes per clamping device

  • Additional degrees of freedom for required motion sequences
  • Precise cutting and welding in one set-up for the production of even very complex components
