Laser Cutting System Features Expanded Workspace



Mazak Optonics Corp. now offers its OPTIPLEX CO2 laser-cutting system in a new 6' x 12' format. According to the company, the new design incorporates all of the performance advantages of the original OPTIPLEX with an expanded workspace for larger jobs.

The OPTIPLEX 4020 can process materials ranging from thin gage steel up to 1" thick mild steel with a workpiece weight capacity of up to 3,527 lbs. It also uses Mazak's fully automated AO|5 setup which, according to Mazak Optonics, overcomes the typical challenges of using varied workpiece materials by improving productivity without compromising cutting conditions. The company reported that optimal cutting conditions can even be retained during extended, unattended operation.

To simplify machine operation, the OPTIPLEX 4020 also features the new PreView control with a 15" touch screen and straightforward user interface. The graphical interface visualizes the cutting path and automatically determines process conditions including the required lens, nozzle, feedrate and laser output for different materials and thicknesses. A 4,000 watt Type 10 resonator with ECO Mode is intended to lower operation costs.
