An automated loading and parts handling system complement the state-of-the-industry laser and machine control technology from Han-Kwang USA.
Posted: August 10, 2010
Han-Kwang USA (Lombard, IL) announces immediate availability of its new Model TL 6015, a tube cutting laser system capable of handling 24 ft long, 6.5 in diameter workpieces up to ¼ in wall thickness in mild steel and 0.200 in thick stainless steel.
Equipped with a powerful 2.5 kW Panasonic laser and a versatile Siemens 840D CNC to control all functions of the machine, the TL 6015 can significantly increase the tube production in any department or shop, especially when used with its proprietary ?Flex 3D? tube cutting software .
The unit comprises an automatic bundle loading system with tube V-support, auto-centering rotary chucking system, laser cutting station and automatic parts removal station. Maximum positioning speed on this laser system is 4700 ipm for the X-axis and 120 rpm for the rotary A-axis.
Max acceleration rate is 1G, while the laser beam is precisely controlled by the unique Auto Focus Control (AFC). This AFC technology allows the machine to automatically adjust the focal length of the cutting lens to accommodate variations in the materials being processed or changes in material feed, which eliminates the downtime normally associated with manual adjustments.
A new generation of sensing board in the S5 laser cutting head on the TL 6015 translates into faster cutting speeds on round, square or rectangular shapes. In a recent design modification, the entire loading section of the machine has been enclosed, as depicted in the attached illustration. [email protected], www.hankwang.com
