Cincinnati Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio, is expanding its laser cutting product line with introduction of the CL-900 series fiber laser cutting systems. The CL-900 series combines the low operating cost of fiber laser technology with the company's high-performance 12,000 ipm linear-motor axis drives to create a productive, economical, and easy-to-use laser cutting system available for sheet metal processing.
Fiber laser systems deliver power efficiency greater than 30 percent, roughly five times higher than CO2 systems. According to Cincinnati Inc., fiber lasers concentrate more energy into the cutting spot, allowing more agile, higher-quality cutting at higher efficiencies, and making fiber lasers ideal for high-volume cutting of intricate shapes and part designs.
CL-900 series laser cutting systems are available with bed sizes of 5 ft. x 10 ft. and 6 ft. x 12 ft. The PC-based HMI control comes standard with Cincinnati 's Programming and Nesting Software to optimize machine performance and is available with a web cam for easy monitoring of the cutting process.
