System Features High-Speed Welding, Drilling, Cutting and DED AM Capabilities



Prima Power Laserdyne Model 811 fiber laser system

Prima Power Laserdyne offers the LASERDYNE 811 designed to address the next generation of laser processing challenges. "The LASERDYNE 811 employs the most current hardware and software components for flexible precision laser processing in an affordable compact platform," said a company spokesperson. "This combination of workstation, controller and laser means cost-effective, high speed and reliable manufacturing for low and high throughput and takes full advantage of fiber laser technology."

The machine has the flexibility and precision to perform optimized laser processing on welding, drilling, cutting and DED additive manufacturing (AM) applications for small- to medium-size workpieces. The working envelope is 1,100 mm x 800 mm x 600 mm (41.5" x 31.5" x 24") for the X, Y and Z axes. Each axis has greater than 50 m/sec velocity and acceleration of 1.2 g and offers enhanced floor space efficiency for the work envelope.

The machine is designed to take full advantage of the BeamDirector. The additional two axes of motion (C and D) provide access to hard-to-reach places in the workpiece, precise beam placement and increased flexibility. The BeamDirector has 90 RPM rotational speed and control repeatability of 15 arc secs. In addition, the BeamDirector supports laser processing from 90° (normal to the surface) to 10° off the surface of a part all the way along the axis of travel.

"The S94P CNC provides unprecedented control over the motion system and most importantly, the processing parameters to maximize process quality while providing efficient laser processing," said the spokesperson. "The S94P controller has the ability to provide real-time pulse by pulse control, including, when required, a unique shape for each individual laser pulse. The S94P controller supports seven axes of simultaneous motion and additional axis as required by automation. This means easy integration with a variety of automation solutions for workpiece handling, loading and unloading of components and other created subassemblies. As with every Prima Power Laserdyne machine, the LASERDYNE 811 has the latest standard software and supports Windows version 10. This includes the full suite of SmartTechniques to optimize the laser process and shorten cycle times while improving the process quality and consistency. As always, software updates are provided without charge."

The LASERDYNE 811 supports Industry 4.0 through the use of MTConnect real-time parameter and data streaming along with Prima Power Laserdyne developed SPC process data reporting and storage capability.

FastTrim and Fast Suite II CAD/CAM software support full 6-axis interpolation and are options available with the LASERDYNE 811. The CAD/CAM option with the DED AM machine is AMExpress and CAM manufacturing software to produce part programs.

With the BeamDirector and the wide variety of easy-to-use LASERDYNE nozzles, transitions from welding to cutting to drilling and vice versa are performed in a matter of seconds, providing high machine flexibility.
