HIGHYAG BIMO-FSC3 Laser Cutting Head

II-VI’s third-generation cutting heads meet all requirements for flat sheet laser cutting: productivity, reliability, and connectivity.

The optomechanical system has been designed for extreme high powers and 24/7 operation in industrial environments. Our even faster, new zoom optics, with its extended and infinitely variable adjustment of focus diameter (M) and focus position (Z), enables outstanding cutting performance over a wide range of materials and thicknesses, leading to maximum flexibility and productivity. New features prevent contamination to ensure high reliability. Integrated sensors offer a superior level of embedded intelligence, providing condition monitoring and maximizing uptime. Welcome to the new generation of MZ laser cutting heads.

Intelligent flat sheet laser cutting system

Features

• Suitable for up to 15 kW laser power (100% duty cycle)
• Autofocus system
• Rugged capacitive height sensing
• Contamination-proof optomechanical design with certified IP65 rating if a II-VI fiber cable is used
• Minimized laser-power-induced focus shift for best cutting quality
• Three cover slides for maximum protection of optics
• Motorized, fast, and yet independent adjustment of magnification (M) and focal-plane positions (Z)
• Typical M- and Z-ranges:
  – M = 1.25 to 3.8 @ Z = 0 mm
  – Z = -30 mm to +15 mm (extended Z-range option available)
  – Focusing length configurable
• Available interfaces: Profinet, EtherCAT, and Ethernet IP

Applications

• Thin and thick sheet cutting for all metal types such as steel, aluminum, brass, and copper
• The cutting heads’ volume claim enables bevel cutting with high-brightness fiber, disc, or diode lasers (NA = 0.125) to a tilting angle of 45°
