Advanced Technology Machine Solutions

FIBER ATMS 1020 4KW EXPERT LASER CUTTING MACHINE is a specialized laser machine tool used mainly in heavy industry, manufacturing plants and wherever long-term, trouble-free operation is required. It has been equipped with a work table that extends automatically to an unloading area located outside the machine housing, allowing to automate the machining process. It is a perfect solution for production plants, for which practical use of the machine and its capabilities counts.

The laser cutter uses proven components and control software directly from reputable manufacturers. The head design allows the operator to easily perform basic maintenance. The laser beam feed from the resonator to the cutting head is realized by means of a suitable optical fiber made and arranged in the machine structure so that it is maintenance-free and does not require maintenance or inspection. The fiber-optic cable supplying the beam from the resonator to the head is equipped with a safety circuit to prevent operation of the machine in case of damage.

By working with Mitsubishi Electric on solutions for the CNC industry, efficient and easy-to-use solutions have been developed to maximize the time and cost of component production. 

One of the main advantages of using a Mitsubishi product is the dedicated single software package for all controllers:

.

• NC Monitor2 - monitoring of CNC controls via Ethernet

  .

• NC Explorer - ability to transfer programs over Ethernet

  .

• NC Configurator2 - ability to create backups and compare them

  .

• NC Designer2 - creation of dedicated screens

  .

Control system provides, among other things:

.
• .

  automatic detection of the sheet position and matching of the tool path to its position,

  .

• possibility to engrave lettering on cut details using a laser beam,

  .

• automatic calibration of the cutting head nozzle height adjustment system,

  .

• implementation of head protection against collision with the workpiece (e.g., in case of incorrect alignment of the workpiece or sheet being cut).

The design ensures operator safety, and the intuitive operator panel allows for convenient and comfortable operation.

The machine has numerous protections against, among other things, the effects of a drop in gas supply pressure below the permissible value. The unloading zone is equipped with a set of optical barriers, the main purpose of which is to detect the presence of people or objects in the working area of the machine. If such a situation is detected, the operation of the machine is automatically stopped.

The monolithic structure of the cutter is designed in such a way that the influence of the environment (temperature, pressure, humidity) is reduced as much as possible. Disturbances from the environment are isolated and internal vibrations are absorbed by the structure, ensuring ideal laser beam guidance. The base surfaces of the linear guides and drives were made in a single mount on a suitable machine tool. The machine has been subjected to vibration tests and multiple analyses of the characteristics of various components confirming compliance with applicable European standards.

The Fiber laser source is distinguished by a negligible laser beam deflection with a service life of more than 100,000 operating hours. The cutting edge is smooth and remains burr-free - therefore, additional edge processing is unnecessary, saving considerable time. The laser is characterized by very good thermal efficiency and high electro-optical performance. This allows it to work properly during long periods between maintenance - thus saving funds and time. We guarantee outstanding precision and exceptional energy efficiency.

In addition to cutting, the machine has the ability to engrave on workpieces.

The implemented CAD/CAM/CNC software has many useful functions integrated on a single workstation, including features:

.
• .

  load, edit and correct files in dxf format,

  .

• nesting – automatic distribution of elements on the sheet,

  .

• generation of the tool path with the possibility of its correction by the operator,

  .

• determination of cutting time and cost for individual projects,

  .

• control all key states and parameters of machine operation,

  .

• visualization of the cutting process,

  .

• implementation of the cutting process of subsequent parts in parallel with the implementation of the cutting process of previous parts,

• .

• direct (local) and remote diagnostics of the machine via the Internet.

It is possible to install the software on another computer workstation in order to prepare the work for the operator.
