Whilst it isn’t always the case that those in the market for a new laser cutter need the latest technology, it’s good to keep abreast of the latest machinery innovations that are making waves in the sheet metal fabrication world. This week, we take a look at the crème de la crème of laser cutter technology in the form of the Durma Laser Cutting Machine.
Fibre lasers
Requiring no gas or mirrors for operation, fibre lasers make cutting simple, fast and efficient. Able to cut a wide rage of material types, shapes and thicknesses at incredible speed, fibre lasers represent the gold standard in laser cutting technology. The incredible speed of the fibre laser is capitalised on with a shuttle table and pallet change system, which ensures the loading and unloading of sheets does not slow down the rate of production.
Unparalleled accuracy
Designed with a rigid welded steel frame and a stiff gantry axis, the Duma Laser Cutting Machine ensures accuracy even when working at maximum speed. The on board library also contains a wide range of reference cutting parameters for different materials and thicknesses, so accuracy from an operational perspective is sped up and improved as well.
Established brand name
As the world’s largest volume producer of sheet metal machinery, Durma is a behemoth in the world of metal fabrication. Known for their accurate, efficient and user friendly systems, Durma is a trusted industry leader dedicated to helping companies boost their productivity with the latest laser technology.
No maintenance
Because it uses a solid state laser, the Durma Laser Cutting Machine has no mechanical parts and does not need to be adjusted and is therefore maintenance free. It also has an incredibly working lifetime which extends beyond 100,000 hours.
Reduced power consumption
Another advantage of fibre laser technology is that it has no standby electrical consumption and has substantially lower cooling requirements than a CO2 model. Fibre lasers also have a wall plug efficiency of 30%, which is double that of a CO2 laser.
