Jenoptik Launches 3D Metal Cutting Laser Machine at IMTS 2012
July 31 2012 - 8:00AM
Marketwired
Jenoptik (STUT: JEN) will unveil JENOPTIK-VOTAN® BIM and
demonstrate its latest technology breakthrough in laser metal
processing at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS
2012) in booth N-6569 from September 10 to 15 at McCormick Place in
Chicago, IL.
"We are excited to introduce to the US market our robot-based 3D
metal cutting laser machine, JENOPTIK-VOTAN® BIM," says Christon
Manzella, Vice President Business Development and Strategies at
JENOPTIK Laser Technologies in the U.S. "Smartly engineered
JENOPTIK-VOTAN® BIM provides industrial manufacturers a highly
flexible, fast processing and cost-effective laser machine solution
that carries several advantages over standard laser machines."
JENOPTIK-VOTAN® BIM's laser robot arm is unique in that the optical fiber is located only in the
stationary robot shoulder and the laser beam path
is totally integrated. During the cutting process, the laser
light is guided by means of mirrors. Due to the immobility of the
laser fiber, its condition is preserved, which eliminates any
costly maintenance and replacement of the fiber. The slim and only
five kilograms light laser cutting head also contributes to the
accessibility into tight locations, high path accuracies and high
speed 3D metal processing.
Additionally, Jenoptik's laser arm's axis movements are 30 to 60 percent quicker than the norm
and deliver a much shorter tact time compared to conventional metal
processing laser robots. In the field of 3D metal processing,
Jenoptik delivers a technological competitive advantage for its
customers and serves the automotive industry, white goods
fabrication as well as reservoir construction.
Metal Processing with Jenoptik's Fiber Laser JenLas® fiber cw
1000.
Also to be showcased at IMTS is Jenoptik's laser source JenLas®
fiber cw 1000, which is a highly brilliant single-mode high power
fiber laser system, featuring high power stability and long
lifetime. JenLas® fiber cw 1000 ensures a high processing speed can
be maintained and consistent high productivity in the respective
applications is achieved. Compared to the other laser sources such
as CO2 lasers, fiber lasers are more energy-efficient and thus more
cost-effective especially in such industrial applications as metal
cutting and welding.
The live performance of the robot system, the core part of the
laser machine JENOPTIK-VOTAN® BIM can be seen at IMTS, booth
N-6569. For more detailed information, please visit:
