This allows to effectively handle a wide range of material thicknesses, making it a versatile solution that responds to your specific needs and requirements for diverse cutting applications.
MIXED
GAS CUTTING
The integration of mixed gas cutting technology enhances operational efficiency by utilizing a proprietary gas mixture, eliminating the need for additional gas mixing devices. This feature allows for significantly increased cutting speeds – up to three to six times faster than traditional methods – while ensuring high-quality results when processing mild steel. By optimizing gas flow and cutting quality, mixed gas cutting reduces costs and streamlines production processes. This advanced capability gives flexibility in your processing, making it beneficial for high-volume applications where time and precision are critical.
BEVEL
CUTTING
The (bevel) cutting capability of the V342 offers incredible flexibility, handling thicknesses from 3mm to 50mm with ease. The bevel cutting head can produce weld preparations of up to 45 degrees in a variety of common shape, making it a versatile choice for any project. The laser sensor comes with an impressive calibration accuracy. It’s standard nozzle, paired with the nozzle compensation mode, requires just one calibration, eliminating the need to recalibrate the focus every time the nozzle is changed.
HEIGHT
CONTROL
An advanced height control system ensures precise cutting by automatically adjusting the laser’s focal point relative to the workpiece. This feature maintains optimal distance throughout the cutting process, compensating for variations in material thickness and surface irregularities. By effectively managing the height of the cutting head, it enhances cutting quality, reduces the risk of damage to the workpiece, and avoids collisions with the cutting head.
PROCESS WIDE
VARIETY OF MATERIALS
The V342 is designed to process a wide variety of materials with exceptional efficiency, powered by a high power fiber laser source of 30 kW. This high-performance fiber laser system and its components, enables precise cutting of materials such as mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, accommodating various thicknesses and shapes. The robust laser source allows for clean, efficient cuts while minimizing kerf and waste, enhancing overall productivity.
