That was the assignment.
Development and production of a compact laser cutting system for multidimensional machining of rupture disks and similar components. Spherical contours must be produced within a machining area of 500 x 500 x 300 mm. Laser cutting is performed in pulsed mode with various working gases.
And this is how we solved it.
A pulsed QCW fiber laser with 150 W average power and 1500 pulses, and the best beam quality (single-mode fiber optic cable, TEM00) was selected as the laser source. Machining optics with capacitive distance sensors ensure that the distance from the nozzle to the surface is maintained, even when cutting components in space. The axes were equipped with linear or torque motors to ensure high dynamics and wear-free operation.
Despite its compact dimensions, the protective cabin, built on a granite foundation, features a very large service door. It is designed as a motorized sectional door with generous protective glazing.
The protective cabin rests on a granite foundation and is equipped with a large, motorized service door with integrated protective glazing.
The side walls of the cabin can also be opened for easy access, and their protective glass contributes to the transparent appearance of the entire machine.
The control electronics, a latest-generation Fanuc CNC controller, and the IPG fiber optic laser are fully integrated into the rear of the machine.

A Hoerbiger switching device was used for program-controlled selection of the gas type and gas pressure. This allows the gas type and gas pressure to be selected as needed in the CNC program and changed during the machining process.
The result:
Transparent appearance, state-of-the-art drive, and laser technology.
Linear motor drive, QCW fiber laser, granite, and CNC technology from the market leader.
