FAST WORK OF THICK AND THIN MATERIALS

Bringing the highest laser cutting productivity to a vast range of flat stock applications, the Cincinnati CL-850 laser cutting center makes fast work of thick and thin material with a powerful 5,000 W GE Fanuc laser resonator, advanced cutting head, innovative optics and third-generation linear-motor-drive system. Designed for high throughput, all-around material versatility and cutting precision, the CL-850 delivers 1000 ipm cutting on 18 ga steel, and up to 1-1/8 in processing range on mild steel.

American-made, this cutting center is available in 5 ft x 10 ft and 6 ft x 12 ft (2 m x 4 m) cutting table models, each featuring dual quick-change pallets. Pallets move simultaneously, so changes take just seconds and cutting is virtually continuous. Full guarding and frame-mounted resonator save shop space over other lasers.

The pioneer in high-speed laser cutting systems, Cincinnati Incorporated further refines its own linear-motor-drive system, proven for more than a decade on the industry's largest installed base of high-speed machines. This cutting center's third-generation linear motor drive system makes fast work of large parts or batch processing of smaller parts, while delivering industry-best dynamic positioning accuracy of ±0.001 in at high cutting speeds.

Sharing the same advanced platform are two additional models, the CL-840 and CL-825 with 4,000 W and 2,500 W, respectively of continuous power. The three CL-800 series machines allow users to tailor machine performance to specific cutting requirements for optimal processing efficiency. The HMI and control software offer easiest operation of any high-performance laser. Unique heavyweight 0.75 in to 1.5 in plate construction delivers exceptional rigidity against dynamic forces, along with longest service life and highest retained value.

A next-generation cutting head system gives superior edge quality and  comes standard with latest Autofocus head providing 5 in, 7.5 in and 10 in focal length lenses. The lenses allow the focus points to be instantly adjusted ? especially between piercing and cutting ? for optimal processing of various materials. An improved breakaway feature keeps debris from entering the beam path and allows beam alignment checking without head removal. A new height sensor, insensitive to plasma, enables much higher feedrates on thin metal using N2 or air assist gas.

Innovative optical features enhance part quality and improve productivity. An adaptive beam enhancer manipulates the size of the beam to improve piercing and cutting productivity. The revolutionary optics enable high precision and productivity cutting both thick and thin material, along with lower operating costs.
