Switching from sheet to tube and vice versa is quick and immediate. There is no need to reconfigure or retool the machine, so you use every minute for production and optimize your investment.
LC5 optimally integrates two systems: a dedicated module for sheet metal cutting and a dedicated module for tube cutting. The tube cutting module can be added in the future as your business needs change. With the option of automatic sheet loading and unloading and storage towers, useful for automatic production changeover between different materials and thicknesses, you have the most complete solution available on the market. You can split up the expense and ensure an investment plan coherent with your development strategies.
When higher productivity is needed, the LC5 automatic loader becomes indispensable. It extracts the bars from the bundle, one after the other, and continuously feeds the working line, without manual intervention.
The cut parts are unloaded automatically and accumulated in the box. The scraps, instead, end up in a separate container, so the machine is always clean and at maximum efficiency.
The 118" (3000 mm) x 59" (1500 mm), 157" (4000 mm) x 79" (2000 mm) and 236" (6000 mm) x 79" (2000 mm) versions are all equipped with dual shelves and automatic changeover, both in the longitudinal and transversal machine configurations. There is a manual solution with a single shelf for limited productions.
Two machines in one
One laser source and a single cutting head for two complementary processes, each with performance equal to that of a dedicated system. LC5 is the answer when a small footprint is the key or if production volumes do not justify two separate systems.
And as work volumes increase, you can add automated material handling systems, such as pallet changers or storage towers.
Large doors on the sheet side for convenient access to the entire pallet area and the same on the tube side to load a single bar on the fly and quickly adjust section changes.
Work in unmanned mode without worrying about quality. The machine changes the nozzle, keeps it clean, and checks wear, all automatically.
This function is used to obtain high cutting quality faster even on the most critical cut features by recognizing the geometries and automatically optimizing cutting parameters.
This function assists the operator in centering the nozzle, simplifying and speeding up work considerably as a result.
This function allows you to utilize residual pieces of sheet metal in an easy, fast, and user-friendly method using an innovative viewing system.
You have the certainty of being able to work at Zero Risks and at the highest safety standards: LC5 is a CE marked, Class 1 system. Special glass and a completely closed cutting area protect you from the risks of laser radiation. An independent safety system on the loader allows you to introduce a new tube bundle without interrupting production.
The gain in speed, accuracy and efficiency is maximum.
