UEM’s new 6-kW cutting machine features a single focusing lens system with an auto- matic nozzle changer. From a quality and productivity standpoint, the automatic nozzle changer eliminates the possibility of someone forgetting to change the nozzle or installing the wrong nozzle.
• Floor space-saving—compact automatic sheet loading, unloading and storage;
• Easy and fast operating interface— fast setup;
• Unique machine design using a synthetic granite frame offering good thermal stability and vibration damp- ening;
• Cantilever design for optimum accessibility to the machine;
• Protection cabin with roof, fiber- safe windows and fully opening sliding doors; and
• Single focusing lens system with automatic nozzle changer.
The machine software also provides a trio of useful cutting modes:
• Smart Cut, for fast cutting of thin sheets (to 5 mm), with as much as a 30-percent cycle-time reduction thanks in part to the ability to minimize unpro- ductive positioning time;
• Max Cut, for fast cutting of medi- um-gauge sheets (from 6 to 25 mm),
Finley explains. “However, the biggest justification for purchasing the cutting machine was in remanufacturing. We needed the ability to react quickly to any last-minute changes or repairs in order to ensure on-time delivery to the customer. We run the Platino Fiber all of the time—day and night shifts, and
a weekend shift.”
Other features and benefits appre-
ciated by Finley and the UEM team include:
• Low power consumption;
• No laser gases;
• Minimum maintenance and low
consumable cost;
