LASER WELDING AND CUTTING WITH ONE MACHINE
EWP announces the availability of a laser welding and cutting system in one package. For the first time, users can now cut parts with CNC precision and then weld them with the same piece of equipment. The Alpha Laser AC 200 is a flexible laser cutting and welding system for fast 2D and 3D handling of metallic materials such as steel sheets, pipes and 3D forms. The new AC 200 has a working chamber of 1100 x 1500 mm and a working area of 500 x 450 x 350 mm (X, Y, Z) but only requires a floor space of 3055 x 1700 x 1400 mm (W x D x H) due to its compact design. Both steel sheets off the coil and large 3D forms can be worked on. A solid steel-welding construction together with the portal assembly forms the basis of the X and Y axes. The Z-axis is provided by the working table which houses the work-pieces and devices. The axle drives are digitally coupled servo motors which are maintenance-free. Accurate measuring systems in the main axes guarantee minute positioning accuracy. Laser sources of 50 W 200 W are available.
These, together with the laser cooling, are integrated in the machine housing. The AC 200 is operated by using an intuitive control interface with visual display. Depending on the application, the AC 200 can be equipped with several options (tilting and swiveling axis, different optics). One machine for everything: both laser cutting and laser welding of prototypes and series are possible using the AC 200. In addition to design and development laboratories and component suppliers, the flexible AC 200 is ideal for service providers in the areas of precision engineering, electronics production, medical technology, vehicle and machine construction, and jewelry production. www.eliteweldingproducts.com
