3-D Metalcutting Laser Machine
April 1, 2016
JENOPTIK Automotive North America, LLC offers its JENOPTIK-VOTAN BIM laser machine series for 3-D metalcutting.
"Laser cutting allows a highly efficient processing of complex metal parts," said a company spokesperson. "The non-contact process minimizes costs caused by set-up time or tool wear. Due to its design and high flexibility, JENOPTIK-VOTAN BIM is a virtually wear-free tool for processing a variety of metalworking parts, even if the manufacturer processes on only one laser machine, because there is no need to use special cutting dies as during the conventional processing. The machine has a repeat accuracy of up to 50 µm, and axis movements of the robot's laser arm are up to 60% percent faster. JENOPTIK-VOTAN BIM cuts a circle or slot in only one second. This allows for a significantly shorter cycle time compared to other robot systems."
The system concept of the JENOPTIK-VOTAN BIM series is based on a beam guide inside the robot. This allows using laser sources with a power of up to 4 kW without having to use a complex external beam guide. At the same time, the equidistant beam path prevents the laser beam from pumping effects for more stable beam quality.
Jenoptik metalcutting laser machines serve the automotive industry by cutting complex car body and structural parts as well as hydroformed tubes used for exhaust systems or car body rail manufacturing. JENOPTIK-VOTAN BIM can be integrated into production lines or combined with processing units.
