FC SERIES
The FiberCAB (FC) Series is a line of industrial-grade fiber laser cutting systems, offering table size options and laser powers for every metal cutting application.
The FC Series combines the latest developments in fiber laser technology with next generation air- and water-cooled lasers and simple, easy to use CNC controls to make it the most advanced and cost effective industrial-grade cutting system on the market. In designing the FC series, Vytek went beyond building a laser system that only met market requirements. We focus on the real needs of the Fabricator and Manufacturer and the ever-changing production environments with an emphasis on quality production.
The FC Series fiber laser source choices are available in CW water cooled from 1500 watts to 12,000 watts and can achieve highly focused spot density resulting in cutting speeds up to 4 times that of a comparable CO2 laser. In addition, with a focused spot size capability of 10 um (0.0004), incredible detail is possible, even with thicker materials (model dependent).
Users can easily interchange focus heads to the ideal configuration for the job at hand. Heads are available for fine kerf cutting; thick material cutting has an optic focal range from 75 mm to 200 mm.
Ultra-Efficient Fiber Laser Powers
Fiber laser source choices are available in CW water cooled from 1500 watts through 12000 watts or water cooled 150/1500 - 450/4500 watts. Single & Multi-Mode (Laser power dependent) with wavelengths of 1070-1080 um.
Positioning System
The Positioning System uses dual guide ways on either side of the gantry and is driven by the high-grade ground ball screws combined with glass linear encoders for true position accuracies (model dependent).
Motion Controls
The Latest Generation controls use high performance brushless servo drives, which are directly coupled to Vytek’s simplicity CNC control, ensure the smoothest possible motion for the most demanding part geometries.
Keypad
The FC includes a rugged keypad, which features a full graphic display. The operator keypad allows for machine control and is the central point for operation. It displays all critical job information and allows for on-the-fly edits to the program.
Programmable Gas Assist Controls
Air assist is essential to the perfect cut. Nitrogen and Oxygen are used primarily but occasionally shop air is also used. The air assist would require 22 BAR – 325 psi.
All Steel Base Structure
The Base Structure and the heart of the system is a precision ground structure mated to all steel and ground gantry/bridge assembly. By ensuring the X, Y and Z planes of the base structure and gantry are geometrically correct to each other there is no need to compensate or use complex correction algorithms to adjust for a poor design or construction.
Standard Table Configuration
Our Modular Table design allows for easy access to the surface while maintaining the smallest possible footprint.
FC44
The FC44 packs a real punch while being perfectly sized for the small shop and highly detailed work. The FC44 uses advanced drives allowing for blazing speeds and high throughput when cutting complex geometries.
