Laser strip cutting system

Stainless steel cover strips are cut in a laser strip cutting system using a 4-axis laser cut. Various drive components are used for this. ​​​​​​Various sizes of cover strips coils are kept in a cassette storage unit. To remove the coils, a ballscrew moves the cassette storage unit into the correct position depending on the selected size. This movement is guided by an HG linear guideway. The cover strip is unrolled to the previously selected length using feeder technology. The laser, which cuts the contour of the cover strip, is aligned using LMX precision axes with integrated linear motors and linear guideways. A DMN rotary table ensures correct orientation of the laser head. This allows the cover strip to be cut not only straight, but also with a 3D contour – and all this fully automatically.
