3D cutting for large formats: our partnership with Kollmorgen
Our machines become the beating heart of a company. That is why we also create tailored solutions for the most demanding jobs.
One of these needs is the laser cutting of large formats (flat sheets and beams) in different materials: metal, wood, plastic, ceramic, methacrylate and composites.
PLUS for 3D laser cutting of large formats
The answer to this need, expressed by many companies, is the PLUS family of laser systems: ideal for cutting metals, they carry fiber laser sources with power up to 15 kW, twice the norm, able to cut on vast, thick and resistant surfaces. Machines that combine high performance, structural rigidity and efficiency.
They fit perfectly into every industrial context that requires 3D cutting of large-format metals: for example metal tanks up to 13 meters long and 3 meters in diameter.
Alongside the efficiency of fiber laser technology, PLUS brings other tangible advantages:
- easy installation and maintenance
- space saving
- great reliability
- high performance from the perfect integration of every component
Metal tanks up to 13 meters long and 3 meters in diameter.
Our partnership with Kollmorgen
An added value of these machines is the linear motors by Kollmorgen, which drive the two axes of the machine and give the PLUS series extremely high dynamics, with great productivity even on highly complex geometries.
The Kollmorgen IC-series direct-drive linear motors, water-cooled, and the MC magnets deliver high performance and absolute precision. This solution has let us improve thrust and the performance-to-size ratio compared with the competition.
Our partnership with Kollmorgen now spans more than 10 years, to the mutual satisfaction of both sides, and is essential to the development of new projects.
Frequently asked questions
What is large-format 3D laser cutting?
Cutting large flat sheets and beams on multiple axes, in different materials: metal, wood, plastic, ceramic, methacrylate and composites.
Which Cutlite Penta machine family handles it?
The PLUS family, with fiber laser sources and high power, designed for wide surfaces and thick, resistant materials.
Why is a custom solution needed?
Because on large formats travels, moving masses and frame stiffness all change: the machine is sized around the job, not the other way round.
Who supplies the drives?
The partnership with Kollmorgen provides the linear motors that deliver speed and precision over long travels.
