MC Machinery will be showcasing the GX-F ADVANCED fiber laser in booth 3019 at FABTECH Canada in Toronto June 11-13, where experts from MC Machinery’s Ontario showroom will be available to answer questions and demonstrate the equipment.
With the latest in artificial intelligence (AI) and gas-reduction technology, the Mitsubishi GX-F ADVANCED Series of two-dimensional fiber lasers delivers more power while using less nitrogen and requiring less operator intervention.
The GX-F ADVANCED Series now includes the Mitsubishi Laser-patented AGR-MIX gas- and burr-reduction nozzle technology, which improves cut quality while reducing gas consumption when cutting mild steel–without the need for external blending tanks or high-pressure oxygen. Building on Mitsubishi Laser’s assist gas reduction (AGR) nozzle technology that saw nitrogen assist gas consumption savings of up to 75 percent, the new AGR-MIX technology adds a further reduction of up to 50 percent without compromising cut quality. By combining low-pressure air with nitrogen within Mitsubishi Laser’s proprietary AGR-MIX nozzle, the blended gas becomes adjustable to suit specific types of material. The result is a cut that eliminates burr on mild steel and reduces costs associated with consumables.
Additionally, intuitive AI technology makes the GX-F ADVANCED Series easy to use for operators of all skill levels—especially valuable because of the ongoing shortage of skilled manufacturing workers. The machine’s augmented reality (AR) capabilities include drop and cut, part rotation and rectangular nesting.
To significantly reduce setup time, the Mitsubishi zoom head delivers speed and flexibility by automatically changing the beam size, shape and focal point for each material, with the ability to process plates with a wide range of thicknesses. Piercing time is reduced by as much as 60 percent, making it possible to pierce a 25-mm-thick mild steel within 0.8 seconds.
Mitsubishi’s proprietary AI technology monitors the cutting process in real time with audio and light sensors, automatically adjusting parameters to optimize cutting performance.
