Fiber laser cutting head FiberCUT® RAc

2-axisfor robotsfor tubes and profile cutting

Laser Mechanisms’ FiberCUT® Right Angle, Compact (RAc) laser processing head collimates and focuses a fiber-delivered laser beam and directs it along with cutting gas through its nozzle for optimal metal cutting. FiberCUT® RAc’s nozzle also senses the required tip standoff from the workpiece and automatically maintains that distance through its internal z-axis drive system. The head’s cover glass protects the cutting lens from process debris. • 3-dimensional cutting with fiber-coupled laser for 16 kg robots • Low moving mass minimizes inertia transfer to robot support arm • Right angle entry of all connections, including fiber, provides tight access to parts, easy cable routing and stress reduction on input fiber • Nearly 30 percent smaller and lighter than the original FiberCUT® RA • Internal, low-noise height sensing system is ­insensitive to cutting plasma or piercing debris • Z lens focus-to-tip adjustment • X-Y beam-to-tip centering adjustment • Works with all leading fiber-delivered laser ­systems up to 4 kW • Complete system consists of cutting head, fiber collimator and linear drive with position measuring • Cam-operated z-axis drive system with axial crash protection • All wiring and assist gas lines are internally plumbed – avoiding costly snags and breaks • Cartridge style drawer provides quick and easy access to the cover glass • Provides error signals in case of collision, over- • temperature and exceeding the operating range • Sealed beam path • Engineered for the harsh factory floor environment • Available with integrated slug detection – potentially eliminating the need for post-cutting detection equipment
