FCL44
Laser Cutting System
The Mini-series is based on the latest motion control developments including an entirely redesigned drive system. The FC platform incorporates ALL ironless linear motors mounted to a thermally stable GRANITE base. The drive system is capable of extremely high accelerations while maintaining the most demanding accuracies. It can be equipped with a variety of laser sources in both single and multi-mode configurations in both air and water-cooled formats. Combined with our latest generation of controls and user interface the Mini-series is among the highest throughput systems on the market regardless of size.
The FCL44 laser cutting system stands at the forefront of precision engineering, offering unparalleled versatility and performance for modern fabrication needs. Designed to handle both intricate and robust cutting tasks, the FCL44 combines cutting-edge technology with user-friendly operation, making it the ideal solution for businesses looking to elevate their production capabilities. Whether you're working with sheet metal, tubing, or specialized materials, the FCL44 delivers consistent, high-quality results with every cut. Its advanced features ensure maximum efficiency, minimal waste, and the flexibility to adapt to a wide range of applications, setting a new standard in laser cutting excellence.
FEATURES
Pneumatic Clamps
Our Modular Adjustable Table design, unique in the industry, incorporates a pneumatic hold down clamping system and eliminates the need for the support slats while securely holding the smallest materials in place. The table system is fully adjustable for material widths as small as 2”/50mm and eliminates contact on the back side of the material and the damage caused by supports. This revolutionary approach to material support also allows for multiple work zones with the addition of up to 3 pairs of clamp sets.
Laser Source
The FCL series can be equipped with a variety of laser sources in both single and multi-mode configurations in both air and water-cooled formats. The FCL44 platform is available up to 4kW in CW laser sources and 1000/10000 QCW laser sources. Focused spot sizes can range from as small as 10um (with single-mode fibers) and as large as 200um. We also offer specialty laser sources with other wavelengths including Pico and Femto second in custom configurations.
Control Interface
The FCL series is built around a rugged integrated machine interface which features a full graphic display and allows total machine and program control right at the machine console. The operator has full control of all critical job-related parameters, allowing on the fly job edits while monitoring machine performance. Complete job statistics as well as remote support from Vytek are all standard
Cutting Head
The Cutting Head and its optical configuration are an important part of the laser system, so we carefully match the cutting head configuration to the applications to ensure peak performance. We offer a wide variety of configurations to best match the laser choice and spot size requirements and offer head options in both manual and auto focusing, to meet any production requirement.
Drop Through Table
The FCL series table system also features a drop through well design that also doubles as the fume/dust extraction plenum. Access to material drops is easy with a convenient front door access and a fully removable drawer for easy unloading.
Linear Motors
The linear motor drives are iron-free to keep it running smooth and steady for years to come and the user interface offers many control options to help bring your project to life.
