Components – Built for Daily Fabrication Shop Use

High-Rigidity Welded Machine Bed

The machine adopts a reinforced steel tube welded structure with professional stress-relief treatment to eliminate internal stress generated during welding. The bed features excellent load-bearing capacity, high structural rigidity, and strong resistance to deformation, ensuring long-term machining stability. The surface is equipped with mineral insulation plates that effectively resist high-temperature thermal radiation and molten slag generated during cutting, minimizing the risk of long-term micro-deformation caused by continuous thermal exposure.

Aerospace-Grade Aluminum Alloy Beam

The crossbeam is manufactured from aerospace-grade aluminum alloy and undergoes aging treatment, achieving an ideal balance of lightweight design, high rigidity, and excellent toughness. Compared with conventional steel beams, the aerospace aluminum beam features lower weight and reduced inertia, effectively decreasing load resistance during high-speed reciprocating movement. This significantly improves dynamic response speed, enabling faster acceleration and deceleration, quicker cutting start/stop performance, and more precise positioning.

Fiber Laser Source (Raycus / Max / IPG)

The machine is equipped with a high-quality fiber laser source from leading brands including Raycus, Maxphotonics, or IPG. With center wavelength of 1064nm–1080nm and electro-optical conversion efficiency exceeding 40%, it delivers excellent beam quality, stable power output, and efficient cutting performance. The laser supports 10%–100% stepless power adjustment with short-term power stability within ±1%, ensuring consistent cutting quality across different production batches.

BOCHU BLT Series Intelligent Cutting Head

The machine is equipped with a BOCHU BLT series laser cutting head, supporting automatic focusing and collision protection. With multiple built-in sensors and real-time closed-loop intelligent monitoring, the cutting head can quickly detect abnormal conditions and provide early warnings. The high-precision capacitive height sensing system detects real-time changes in sheet height and automatically adjusts the focus position dynamically, maintaining a stable cutting focal distance throughout the entire process. This effectively eliminates cutting defects caused by minor sheet surface unevenness, such as incomplete penetration, inconsistent cut quality, and edge burning.

Inovance EtherCAT Absolute Servo System

All motion axes are driven by an Inovance EtherCAT absolute servo system, featuring high-speed communication, high-precision motion control, and advanced multi-axis coordinated operation. Equipped with high-precision absolute encoders, the system eliminates the need for manual homing after power-on, reducing setup procedures and shortening preparation time. The servo motors provide strong torque reserves with smooth acceleration and deceleration performance, ensuring stable operation under high-speed, high-acceleration conditions.

High-Precision Transmission System

The machine adopts high-precision linear guide rails (HIWIN, Taiwan) combined with precision-ground helical racks and KOFON planetary gear reducers. This combination features minimal transmission clearance (<3 arcmin backlash), smooth movement, and excellent positioning accuracy. With a transmission efficiency of over 97%, it minimizes power loss and ensures strong, stable force output for both thick plate piercing and high-speed thin sheet cutting. Even during high-speed cutting operations, the system maintains stable performance, ensuring long-term cutting precision without deformation.

Hanli Precision Laser Chiller

The machine is equipped with a Hanli fiber laser chiller featuring dual independent temperature control circuits. With temperature control accuracy of up to ±1℃, it efficiently removes heat generated by the laser source and cutting head. The chiller integrates multiple safety protection functions, including water flow monitoring, over-temperature alarms, low-water protection, and fault alarms, ensuring reliable operation of the laser system during 24/7 continuous production.

Modular Tooth-Type Slat Cutting Table

The machine adopts a modular tooth-type slat cutting table design, offering excellent flexibility, easy assembly and disassembly, and convenient maintenance. When a specific section becomes worn or damaged, only the corresponding module needs to be replaced instead of the entire worktable, significantly reducing maintenance costs. The tooth-type slats have minimal contact with the workpiece, effectively reducing thermal adhesion, slag accumulation, and burning marks while allowing cutting waste to naturally fall through gaps for easy cleaning.

Electrical Exchange Platform

The dual-pallet electrical exchange platform is driven by a heavy-duty chain and motor system, with each pallet holding up to 1,000kg load. The swap time of ≤25 seconds ensures continuous cutting with zero idle time between sheet changes, dramatically improving overall production efficiency. The electrical drive system is quieter, cleaner, and lower maintenance compared to hydraulic alternatives, making it ideal for fabrication shop environments.

BOCHU FSCUT4000E Control System

The machine adopts the BOCHU FSCUT4000E laser cutting control system combined with CypCutE software. The system integrates drawing import, cutting path optimization, and process parameter adjustment into one intelligent platform. With comprehensive smart functions including Automatic Nesting, Fly Cutting, Seamless Piercing, Micro-Joint, Automatic Center Finding, and Automatic Edge Finding, it improves material utilization, enhances cutting accuracy, and simplifies daily operation. The system is equipped with a wireless handheld controller (WKB-V6) for convenient machine operation, axis movement, parameter adjustment, and edge finding functions.

Auxiliary Systems

Automatic Lubrication System: Regularly and quantitatively supplies lubricating oil to guide rails and racks, reducing manual maintenance requirements, minimizing wear on transmission components, and ensuring smooth and stable high-speed operation over long production cycles.

Fume Extraction System: Removes smoke and fumes generated during cutting from underneath the cutting table, maintaining a cleaner working environment, reducing airborne pollutants, and improving operator safety and comfort.

Bellows-Type Protective Covers: X and Y axes are equipped with thickened wear-resistant, waterproof, and dust-resistant bellows covers, effectively preventing metal splashes, cutting dust, and oil fumes from entering guide rails and transmission systems.

Fully Enclosed Cable Carrier: Organizes and protects cables, air hoses, and lubrication lines from metal chips, high-temperature sparks, and dust, improving electrical system safety and reliability.
