LASER CUTTING

WITH THE LATEST IN LASERCUTTING, YOU CAN RE-THINKYOUR PRODUCTIVITY TARGETSFINN-POWER L6 offers true sophistication

in high-speed laser cutting for sheet metal

fabrication, creating enhanced production

with superior speed, accuracy, and part

quality. The L6 reflects FINN-POWER's com-

mitment to developing new engineering

technologyi n linear drive applications and

high-speed laser cutting.

FINN-POWER L6 is designed with innova-

tive linear drive motor technology that

allows maximum speeds even in small

notches or narrow contours. FINN-POWER

offers a new level of high-speed performance

in machining dynamics, contour accuracy,

and process safety.

FINN-POWER L6 processes sheet sizes up

to 3,074 mm x 1,565 mm (121” x 61.61”)

and up to 25 mm (0.984”) in thickness. It

provides flexibilityin laser cutting various

material thickness and material types.

FINN-POWER L6:SPEED MEETSACCURACY

Linear drive technology for high speeds

The breakthrough of linear motor applications inmachine tool operation is a reality. Once again,FINN-POWER is at the leading edge of technologi-cal progress. The positioning technology of theflying optics L6 is through digitally-controlled lineardrive motors.

FINN-POWER's unique frame construction com-pletely eliminates the technical problems some-times associated with linear drives – the risk ofcontamination and heat generation. Thus, thebenefits of this technology can be utilized to the full-est. Extremely high speeds are possible due toa low friction and direct drive system. The simulta-neous positioning speed (X / Y) of FINN-POWERL6 is up to 300 m/min (11,811”). Accelerationon each axis (X, Y and Z) is more than 2 g.

Extremely accurate

There are no wearing parts in the driving system,thus, path accuracy is very high. Every unit istested according to our LKP7500 quality stan-dard and meets the following criteria:

Rigid frame construction

The L6 rigid frame design is patented by FINN-POWER. The frame withstands all the forces ofhigh-speed positioning and provides a solid base forstable beam delivery optics

Ping Pong Repositioning

Unlike conventional repositioning, where thestraight line movements of the cutting head wastetime, FINN-POWER optimizes the head movementwith Ping Pong repositioning. Smooth and efficienttransition means added productivity speeds upto 1,000 holes per minute are now possible!

4,000W / 5,000 W laser power

FINN-POWER L6 features a OEM designed fastaxial flow CO laser. Cutting speeds up to60 m/min (2,362”/minute) are reached usingnitrogen as cutting assist gas. L6 are availablewith 4 kW or 5 kW laser power.

Resonator characteristics

Auto focus cutting head

User interface

The L6 features an OEM-designed laser resonator,developed in close cooperation with FINN-POWERto assure it meets all the quality and performancerequirements of the high performance laser cut-ting center. It is designed with only two externaldirect, water-cooled copper mirrors that are usedto guide the laser beam onto the focusing lens. Thelaser beam path protection is continuously pres-surized by specially filtered and dried air.

Constant cutting quality and cutting parametersare maintained by integrated adaptive optics. Fastlaser power measurement has been integrated. Inaddition, the resonator has an extended preventa-tive maintenance interval.

To minimize set-up time, an advanced, high-pressure cutting head is integrated into the sys-tem. The constant distance between the materialsurface and the nozzle is achieved with a non-contact, capacitive, integrated sensing unit. Thecutting head does not have to change when a focallens change is required – you simply insert anew lens cartridge! The lens mount can bechanged in seconds by utilizing this cartridgetechnique. Cartridges are available for focallengths of 5” 7.5” and 9”.

Additional features of the cutting head includeautomatic, fast calibration, including nozzle sur-face cleaning, and connections for three differentassist gases with automatic regulation up to25 bar (375 psi).

The Windows® based touch screen user interfaceof the L6 makes the system simple to operate.It features high-speed data transfer betweenthe Siemens 840D control and the rugged indus-trial PC with large capacity hard drive, DVDread/write drive for backup, as well as an Ethernetboard for connecting the system to the companynetwork.

Graphical User Interface (GUI)

Teleservice / remote monitoring

NC Express™ CNC programming software

A database with a large number of cutting parame-ters for various materials is stored on the LaserParameter Manager. The parameter can quicklybe optimized or edited for new or different materi-als. In addition, the FINN-POWER L6 laser offersthe operator the possibility to change or optimizelaser parameters online like feed rate or cuttinggas pressure, etc. Due to this unique feature, thelaser cutting results can be optimized even duringthe laser process.

The graphical user interface for NC programsand ControlLink software provide an informationsystem with alarm code explanation and usermanuals. The integrated diagnostic system helpsthe operator monitor the different machine func-tions as well as quickly identify and correct eventualmalfunctions. FINN-POWER's GUI supports theoperator in several ways facilitating self-learningpossibilities, giving recovery instructions andsimple access to electronic manuals etc.

This optional feature provides a connectionbetween the system and a remote monitoring sta-tion where the current machine status is readilyavailable for maximizing production. Available dataincludes: program in progress information, opera-tional status of different components in the sys-tem, active alarms, and other information.

FINN-POWER’s NC Express CAD/CAM program-ming system is a user-friendly, integrated and auto-mated tool for managing FINN-POWER equipment.It is a highly efficient tooling, nesting and optimizingsoftware package designed for easy integrationin an existing manufacturing environment, takingfull advantage of the CAD design database andthe FINN-POWER machine tool product line.

INNOVATION FORINCREASED PRODUCTIVITY

Compact, modern design

Shuttle table placement

FINN-POWER L6 has a compact design withthe resonator and CNC built into the structure.FINN-POWER L6 has a sleek, modern, attractivestyle that complements its technical featuresand benefits.

The productivity of the cutting system is increasedby an automatic shuttle table system that allowsloading and unloading of the material during thecutting operation. The shuttle table automaticallymoves the processed sheet into the unloadingposition and a new sheet on the other table movesinto the cutting area. The operator can accessthe shuttle table from all sides when the system iscutting and light beams guarantee safety duringpallet change.

Positioning of the shuttle tables is possible on twosides of the machine, (A: front and B: back). Thisis beneficial when plant layout or production flowrequires a specific position. This versatility is alsoreflected in the availability of alternative materialhandling solutions for additional productivity.

Sheet clamps

Sheet probing

Machine safeguard

Equipment includes manual sheet clamps for thinmaterial applications. Automatic sheet clamps andretractable clamps are available as an option.

Angularity and position of the material can be auto-matically detected by the sheet probing featurewhich is included as standard. A precise diodebuilt into the cutting head utilizes the speed ofthe drive system to reduce measurement time to anegligible value.

The safeguard-enclosed processing area aroundthe machine ensures operator safety. In all ma-chine modes, the operator is protected againstmoveable machine parts, reflected laser beam,and metal splatter.

FINN-POWER's new heavy-duty design load/unloadsolution automates the L6 with freely program-mable suction cups for loading material up to1,000 kg (2,200 lbs) and forks for unloadingthe finished components including the skeletononto the unloading table.

Automatic sheet clamps for thin material are stan-dard in automated systems. The compact designof the L6 – even with automation equipment –requires minimum floor space. It is still possibleto adapt the layout to existing floor space utilizingFINN-POWER´s modular system concept.

L6 can further be equipped with flexible modularmaterial handling equipment – like a cell concept –using FINN-POWER's new, compact Combo FMSstorage. It can also be integrated into a Night TrainFMS®, where its high capacity is easy to utilizeto the fullest.

To ensure maximum flexibility, easy to use controland management software solutions are availablefrom FINN-POWER.
