Messer Cutting Systems offers two machines that feature the fiber laser / plasma combination cutting on both the new Element 400 L unitized machine and the MetalMaster Xcel cutting machines.
Messer Cutting Systems Fiber Laser utilizes a fiber optic cable for beam delivery and can be used in conjunction with the plasma process. By eliminating the need for mirrors, cleaning, alignment, and replacement of mirrors becomes a thing of the past. The fiber laser process is three times more efficient compared to older C02 lasers and eliminates the need for a resonator thus no laser gas is required making the cost of operation considerably less.
Internal holes smaller than a 1:1 ratio are now achievable, including sharper corners on squares and cleaner straighter holes. Previously this was impossible with only the plasma process. You now gain better part accuracy than “True Hole® Technology” on .75″ (19.05mm) mild steel and below. Your parts can be cut using only one process or utilize both Fiber and plasma to maximize your production. The unitized machine design provides an extremely accurate machine platform and ease of installation.
Add an optional material handling package with a shuttle table feature to quickly process parts.
