Monitoring Control for Advanced Fiber Laser Cutting

Mitsubishi Laser, a leader in laser cutting machining innovation, has added the new M800 control technology to their Advanced 800 Series eX-F fiber laser cutting machine from MC Machinery Systems, Inc. (Elk Grove Village, IL). The M800 laser control includes a 19 in tablet style touchscreen that enables users to swipe, pinch and tap to view data. It features a customizable home page and status bar to access data, meaning less time is spent pressing various buttons to perform the same process. This control also has a processing speed up to 100 m per minute and includes an expanded cutting condition library with even more flexibility. Users will see improvements on hole circularity and process times on small geometrically intensive parts.

In line with Industry 4.0 requirements, the processing, consumption and service data available with this control ensures transparency in all production stages. The new navigation interface provides smooth and easy job operation for all operator expertise levels, allowing production jobs to be completed quickly and accurately. Other benefits include improved integration with remote360, expanded maintenance and help screens and larger storage for more program files. The Advanced 800 Series eX-F machine comes standard with the all-in-one magnetic breakaway Zoom Cutting Head that utilizes beam mode manipulation to process a full range of materials automatically without any setup. The Zoom Cutting Head includes an Auto Focus Focal Range from 3.75 in to 10 in, HPP Pierce Technology and is backed by the industry’s best magnetic breakaway fiber head. This system ensures unmatched efficiency by eliminating the need for lens cleaning or cartridge changing. Its reduced nozzle centering time guarantees productivity and a wealth of benefits that come with the fastest cutting machine per kilowatt in the industry.
