Amada's latest innovation is the Ventis-3015AJ, a fiber laser cutting machine equipped with the company's "Locus Beam Control" (LBC) technology.
The technology evolved from the company's original laser beam control technology. LBC can freely manipulate the laser beam and create an infinite number of locus patterns to meet the demands of sheet metal processing. Combined with a high brightness 4 kW fiber laser oscillator, Amada says the new laser sets "a new world standard for laser cutting speed and quality."
Indeed, the Ventis-3015AJ with LBC technology won the MM Award at Euroblech 2018.
LBC Technology is an innovative beam-forming technology to control kerf width for optimal efficiency based on the material type and thickness being processed. This new technology makes it possible to cut at higher speeds and raise quality to greatly improve productivity.
The main features three modes: Productivity; Quality; and Kerf Control.
Productivity Mode: Significant improvement in productivity when cutting stainless steel and aluminium. In the N2 non-oxidizing cutting of medium thick stainless steel and aluminium, the processing cost can be reduced by up to 75 per cent, in addition to the higher cutting speed that is twice as fast when compared to conventional machines.
Quality Mode: High quality processing improves surface roughness and eliminates dross. Cut quality is ensured by reducing the surface roughness by approximately 50 per cent when compared to a conventional machine, and dross is minimised to less than 10 μm.
Kerf Control Mode: Enables long term stable processing during automated system operation. By oscillating the beam, the kerf width can be controlled to 2.5 times wider than the conventional model. After processing, automated take-out equipment is dramatically improved to provide stable part removal and long, stable processing during operation.
Ermaksan has developed a new generation Evolution series hybrid press brakes. Ermaksan's press brakes are available from Canadian distributor Ferric Machinery, Mississauga, ON.
The Safan E-Brake features a servo electric drive based on the pulley principle, which the company says ensures even distribution of forces.
Tube, pipe and structural steel fabricators who do a lot of drilling have a new lower cost and more efficient alternative to radial drills or standard tap/drill machines.
High pressure waterjet cutting is gaining in popularity among fabricators because it improves cutting efficiencies.
The new eP-1030 press brake by Prima Power is based on extensive experience in press brakes and servo electric machine tools for sheet metalworking.
