The laser beam with simple robotization, an alternative solution in the Court in 3D

Production of traditional processes, as the cold forming and drilling, the mechanical contact-based, risk of causing deformation and damage. In addition, the necessary automated systems for the automation of these processes should be extremely robust and stable to absorb the applied forces.

Water jet offers several advantages and is a reliable technical solution, but the cutting speed is limited.

A promising alternative solution in the Court in 3D, is the use of the laser with a system of simple robotization. This technology offers high flexibility and speed of cutting high without contact and without mechanical stress or pressure on the parties to cut. Market demand for investment and operation and maintenance costs low, but the simplicity and effectiveness of the technology and its ability to adapt quickly to changes in the design of products are equally important. If one takes into account these prerequisites laser will be taken into account as an attractive tool for cutting of shaped metallic plates.

IDASA (the Division of engineering of TESA) recommends a unique option: laser cutting with power of up to 5 kW, which provides enhanced, through full integration of the optical path from the source to the end of the head of the robot accuracy and dynamic separating from the movement of the laser generator. The combination of two robots in a single unit of processing (in a single cabin), either with two lasers or a laser and a beam splitter, is well established. These provisions are particularly useful for processing large items, complex and difficult to access, or applications with few cycle requirements. Generally, these processing units provide a high level of flexibility and represent an optimal solution for companies requiring a cutting system flexible and adaptable to any type of work.

Such systems marketed by Idasa offer: high flexibility, and ease of programming, even for elements of difficult contours, highly dynamic performance and a high level of physical accessibility, cutting speed fast with a power of up to 5,000 W available laser, compact design that can move easily from one location to another, and can also return to become operational in a short period of time and a great capacity for integration (cargo, refrigerated, emissions, etc.).

Ultimately, the growing trend towards the automation of court processes, particularly for 3-dimensional processes, represent a challenge for companies. Accuracy and high flexibility, high cutting speeds, generating independent laser to the movement of the robot, and all this with a reasonable investment and a compact design.
