LC5 is the ideal solution for laser cutting both sheet and tubes in all situations in which installing two separate systems is hardly justifiable due to reasons of dimensions, production volumes or more simply cost-effectiveness. A single laser source and a single cutting head is capable of switching from sheet to tube processing (and vice versa) immediately, automatically and without needing re-tooling. LC5 can process metal sheet up to 3000x1500 (or 4000x2000) and round, square, rectangular, oval shaped tubes up to an inscribed diameter of 120 mm and a bar weight of up to 13.5 kg/m. LC5 can be equipped with either a CO2 laser source with a power of up to 4.5 kW or a fiber laser source with power up to 3 kW. The fiber source is advantageous for cutting high reflecting materials (brass, copper) and for more effective aluminium processing.The cutting process is controlled by sensors which monitor all the main parameters on both the CO2 source and fiber versions. The optimal cutting parameters are selected in fully automatic manner according to the material and thickness. Focus is regulated by a servo mechanism fitted inside the cutting head.
