6-axis Laserdyne 430BD series laser system with third generation BeamDirector is designed for cutting, welding and drilling 2D and 3D components with up to 20 kW QCW fiber laser.
Prima Power Laserdyne announced that it will significantly increase production of its Laserdyne 430BD laser systems in 2015 as a result of recent sales of the new system and buying interest generated at the IMTS and EuroBLECH exhibitions.
"When Laserdyne saw the increasing serious interest in our new 430BD system and the possibility that this could result in longer lead times, we began planning for an increase in our production capacity," said Mark Barry, Vice President, Sales & Marketing for Prima Power Laserdyne. "Historically, Laserdyne has been able to offer short lead times for all our standard built laser systems. We developed this strategy to reduce delivery times over 30 years ago when most laser systems were custom designed and had long lead times."
The Laserdyne 430BD is a 6-axis system designed for complex precision cutting, welding and drilling 2D and 3D component parts requiring exacting precision. According to the company, this capability has attracted interest. The system operates at speeds up to 800 inch/min in the X, Y and Z axes (0-20 m/min) with bi-directional accuracy of 0.0005 " (12.7 um). "This accuracy is throughout the system's 585 x 408 x 508 mm work envelope, making it ideal for laser processing a broad range of workpiece sizes and thick and thin metals," said a company spokesperson. "The 430BD offers users great flexibility and options with multiple configurations for processing parts in various market segments requiring manufacturing flexibility, rapid prototyping and quick changeovers."
"Our Laserdyne 430BD demos - which highlighted the ability for cutting, welding and drilling in a single system - drew serious interest from many market segments," said Barry. "These included manufacturers of medical devices, surgical instruments, automotive components, precision mechanical components, electronics, drawn, thermoformed, punched and traditionally stamped parts as well as aerospace component manufacturers. One reason is that the 430BD is capable of precision cutting, welding and drilling a wide range of materials ranging from nickel alloys and stainless steel to aluminum, copper and titanium. It is a highly efficient laser system that provides both operational advantages as well as key technical features associated with its small focused beam diameter, high beam quality and system responsiveness."
The Laserdyne 430BD is a space-saving, small footprint system. "It has Laserdyne's latest and most powerful system controller, the S94P," said the spokesperson. "It includes the full complement of Laserdyne hardware / software features for integrated control of the laser, motion and process sensors. While the laser source is an important component of a 3D laser system, the full capability of laser processing is only realized when the laser, motion and process sensors are fully integrated, a key feature of the 430BD."
