Numerical control
The DIGISAF 4000 N/C
control unit developed
for LASERTOME 30-15
is based on a PC
configuration with
motherboard and Windows
NT operating system.

It offers the best dynamics required

for laser beam machining.

Communication between the linear motors and the controller takes place
through a fibre optic system for enhanced trajectory performance and
avoid interference from the surroundings.

The dynamic behaviour of the axes is corrected all the time to make up for
the tracking error inherent to control systems in real time, while
eliminating the resonance excitation of the machine. The correction is
made by means of a real-time examination of several hundreds of N/C
feed blocks thanks to the very short computing time.

Programming software
The programming software offered with LASERTOME 30-15
enables rapid nesting of the most complex parts with scrap
optimisation, helping save much time and material. It offers the
following:
■ order management and creation of parts by retrieving them
from a CAD/CAM file or through local creation,
■ manufacturing launches,
■ manual, semiautomatic and automatic nesting,
■ tool path (manual or automatic), with the
possibility to intervene and make changes,
■ lading of ".dxf" files.

FUNCTIONS
▲

Cutting head
The contactless focus-controlled cutting head is
supplied as standard with two cartridges fitted with 5
and 7.5" lenses. Changing the focal distance only
takes a few seconds and requires no beam
refocusing.
The programmable head position can vary during the
different sequences to bring about a significant
reduction in the drilling time.
▲

High-pressure cutting
The use of thick treated lenses enables the use of
high-pressure neutral gas (nitrogen) to achieve clean
burr free cut edges (stainless steel, aluminium alloys
or even carbon steels).
▲

Cutting plane centring

The operator can place the sheets approximately,
without aligning the edges with the system.
A detection feature automatically adjusts the cutting
plane to the edges of the sheet.
