Salvagnini Italia S.p.A. (www.salvagnini.com) recently developed the
L1Xe laser cutting system equipped with an electronic source that offers
many benefits compared to standard carbon dioxide systems.
The new 1LXE from Salvagnini offers green benefits.
The fiber source requires virtually no maintenance. Energy consumption is reduced up to 70 percent, plus fiber does not require high energy levels to achieve exceptional performance nor to cut thick material.
Wide ranges of machineable materials are cut using the fiber-optical power source, making cutting of reflective and conductive material possible -- aluminum, copper and galvanized steel. Higher cutting speeds and rapid piercing are possible with the high-density beam. Salvagnini offers a range of automated material handling and integration with fabrication systems.
Systems were recently installed, or are being installed, in the U.S. in Wisconsin, Illinois and Georgia for job shops, HVAC and food industry equipment manufacturers.
