ARAMIS chiller

50% POWER RESERVE
allows to counter-balance environment temprerature and prevents frequent emergency shutdowns.
HIGH-QUALITY COMPONENTS
guarantee operations reliability and long life cycle of equipment.

Chiller provides reliable water cooling of the laser unit, external focusing optics, control system unit and prevents pretimely degradation of the laser source power, damage to the protection glass, focusing and collimation lenses.

Besides cooling, chiller can perform the function of heating up the laser unit. In case of low temperature in the premises as well as when entering the operation mode, the laser unit must be warmed up to the temperature of 21°C to avoid condensate formation.

Cutting heads

PRECITEC PROCUTTER 2.0 Cutting head

ProCutter 2.0: laser head with high automation and the capacity to work with a laser source power of up to 30 kW.

Cutting head features:

MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY AND SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE
In consequence of the spreading motion paths and magnification (laser beam thickness adjustment), the optimum cutting mode option for the ProCutter 2.0 Zoom head can be customized. This allows smooth part edges to be achieved even on thick metals and, when machining certain types of metals, favors speeds of up to 35% over using a fixed-width laser beam. The regular ProCutter 2.0 does not provide magnification.
Reduced downtime and lower unit costs
Automated laser beam magnification makes it possible to process metal of different quality and thickness without the intervention by the machine operator with permanent quality of the parts’ edges.

The formation of splashes during metal piercing is also minimized, which significantly reduces contamination of the nozzle and protective glass, increases the service life of consumables and, as a result, reduces the cost of finished products. A wide range of sensors that regularly provide information on the status of key components minimizes the machine downtime.
MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY through GREAT TECHNOLOGY
With ProCutter 2.0 you no longer have to choose between high quality and high speed. These two are both possible now, and that significantly increases the productivity ratio and ensures a shorter payback period for the machine. The new generation laser head enables extra-high cutting speeds that were previously unthinkable. The cutting head operates seamlessly with laser power of up to 30 kW owing to the well elaborated cooling concept and an extended travel path.

Laser source

ARAMIS laser systems use ytterbium fiber laser sources manufactured by Raycus, IPG Photonics or nLIGHT - world leaders in the area of laser technologies.

They are different from each other in terms of both price and characteristics:

The level of protection against back reflection.
The rate at which the source power decreases.
Homogeneity of laser beam power.
Quality of the laser source’s built-in self-diagnosis system.

When choosing a laser source manufacturer, you should take into account the types of metals are to be cut, the cutting intensity and the requirements for the quality of the part’s edge.

As an example, if there is a need to cut large quantities of non-ferrous metals, the laser source must have a function of protection against back reflection. Otherwise, the source will fail quickly and a lot of time will be lost repairing and replacing it, causing downtime and possibly even disruption to your production and delivery schedules.

Select the laser source that is suitable for your production.

Machine control system

EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS AT HAND
All machines are equipped with a convenient monitor that has a full-fledged keyboard. The main controls of the system are located on the front panel, which makes working with the machine much simpler.
ERGONOMICS
The control panel is located at a convenient height on a swivel arm, which makes the operator's work comfortable and convenient throughout the entire working shift.
KEYBOARD AND MOUSE
A full-size keyboard and mouse provide the possibility to enter information routinely without interruptions, unlike touch displays, which get dirty quickly in industrial environments. In addition, the standard monitor and keyboard can easily be replaced in the event of mechanical damage.

Software

Compilation of control programs

For compilation of control programs, the professional license software Metalix, covering the full cycle of CNC operations, is included in the delivery package.

Convenience of work

Automated compilation of cutting programs

The software provides fast and intuitive generation of cutting programs with two mouse clicks. It automatically detects the complexity of contours and automatically calculates the optimal passes. This function is very relevant for small enterprises, when working with small series, but a large range of orders.

Library of materials and modes

The software has a standardized library that ensures not only the storage of the modes’ settings for a particular material, but also their quick automatic loading and readiness of the machine for operation when a new material is selected.

Individual setting of the perforation, engraving and evaporation modes

In addition to laser cutting, the machine provides functions of perforation, engraving and vaporizing.

PERFORATION MODE

Enables the user to draw a dotted line to manually bend thin metal.

VAPORIZING

It provides for two-stage processing of metal coated with a film: the first pass removes the coating from the contour cutting area, and the second pass cuts the metal. Perforation, engraving and vaporizing modes can be set separately for optimal metal machining quality. The operator does not have to stop the material processing process to reconfigure the machine and enter new settings, as the modes are switched automatically. This allows to both significantly increase the productivity of the cutting complex and to reduce the cost of consumables.

ENGRAVING

Using the engraving mode, the operator can apply various marks, such as: part name and number, fold lines, hole centers, inscriptions (tables with inscriptions of characteristics). The modes supports engraving of objects and text written in Windows and True Type fonts.

Automated nozzle cleaning

Beyond the machining area, on the bed, a special calibration platform and a device for automated cleaning of the cutting head’s nozzle are installed.

Automated nozzle cleaning increases the service lifetime of replaceable nozzles and assures consumables cost reduction.

Calibration of the cutting head by 16 points

The machines by ARAMIS employ the algorithm for the cutting head calibration by 16 points before start-up. This procedure makes it possible to maintain a consistent cut quality even if the surface of the sheet is not even.

Speed and safety

Automated dissection of internal contours of waste

The software automatically detects contours that may interfere with the movement of the optical head and creates a microprogram to cut them into several parts following a “mesh” pattern.

Automated placement of jumpers to prevent falling out of the work-in-process pieces

This function reduces the risk of damage to the parts in process of cutting and helps to ensure high quality of the product.
The function automatically determines the places where it is necessary to place the jumpers to ensure the safety and accuracy of cutting the material.

Cutting with adjacent path contour

This function enables the operator to cut parts along the overall contour, thus significantly reducing the production waste. As the result the material is utilized in the most efficient way. In the illustration on the right, X is the distance between the contours when cutting in normal mode, E is the difference in length between the contours cut in different modes. In this case, E = 8X.

Partial lift

When moving between the points of cutting-in, the optical head is not raised to all the way up to its highest position, but rather to a shortened lift distance. This minimizes the time for the optical head to move from one part in process to the next one and increases the system productivity.

Travelling at the height of cutting

This function reduces machining time and increases the machine operation productivity. It is also helpful to improve cutting accuracy in course of switching between multiple areas of the material, this can be particularly useful in case of high-complexity parts production.
The function automatically determines the maximum permissible travel distance at the cutting height, which guarantees safe and high-quality processing of the material.

Safe movement

Sometimes cut parts rise above the sheet surface and can become an obstacle in the path of the optical head. The safe movement path generation function provides for automated bypassing of such areas. The program paves the path between the contours so that it does not enter the areas where metal has already been cut.

Quality and productivity

The function of automated nesting layout of parts

The program has built-in tools for automated optimization of the parts nesting, with consideration of the required spacing between the parts and the edges of the workpiece. This feature saves time for the technologist and operator and reduces the amount of waste. Optimal nesting algorithms further reduce the total time of cutting.

Sharp Corner Cut

The mode for machining of complex contours and sharp angles. This function provides high-quality processing of complex contours: sharp corners, closely spaced contours. When cutting external corners, excessive temperature is generated at the turns, which can result in melting of corners.

Sharp Corner Cut function solves this problem: the laser head makes a loop with forced vent cooling at each corner of the workpiece, which prevents melting of the corner.

In addition, for machining of small parts, pulse mode cutting is possible, which in its turn also prevents excessive heating of the material.

The modes are switched automatically in accordance with the settings.

FlyCut

This method can significantly reduce the time to process thin metal sheets, as the parts are not cut out each individually, but instead, all the contours lying on the same line are cut. The optical head passes the entire sheet at a high speed, row by row, cutting the contours on the respective segment. Time saving is particularly noticeable when perforated grates are cut.

Frog Jump

The method of moving between contours that increases the speed of cutting the parts by means of reducing the time required to move between contours. This method involves optical head motion between contours of the parts along 3 coordinates simultaneously.

Uneven sheets machining function

The automatic sheet surface tracking system ensures stable positioning of the optical head with the accuracy of up to 0.01 mm in a wide range of heights, which allows precise work even on highly deformed metal, as well as on the edges of the workpiece. High measurement speed (100 kHz) ensures minimal response time of the tracking system. It even provides for cutting of corrugated board in a stable mode.

Multistage piercing

When working with thick sheets, the ability to use several stages of piercing the material with different technological parameters can significantly increase the speed and quality of the cut.

Piercing with preheating of the cutting area

This piercing method is recommended for cutting rather thick metal sheets. The optical head is raised above the material to a distance set by the operator, the cutting area is preheated, then the optical head is lowered into focus and the material is burned through.

Software for cutting of tubes

Easy and flexible designing process

Upon completion of the designing phase, the user can easily perform optimization of the workpieces layout and head movement paths as well as generate a CNC control program ready to be sent to the machine.
