Synova - Model LCS 305 -Laser Metal Cutting System

The LCS disposes of consistent temperature control with water-cooled linear and torque motors (+/- 0.1°C) and a mineral casting machine bed for more stability and reduced vibrations.

A fully automatic offset calibration system integrates laser-nozzle alignment, automatic jet angle correction, laser power meter and touch probe.

Tools can be exchanged with a very high accuracy thanks to the HSK 63 tool holder.

Materials

Hard materials: Polycrystalline CBN (PcBN), polycrystalline diamond (PCD), single crystalline diamond (SCD), chemical-vapor-deposition (CVD) diamond, natural diamond (ND), tungsten carbide (WC)

Operations

3D cutting, shaping, drilling, slotting, grooving, trenching, milling, slicing, edge grinding (K-land edges, single or multiple clearance angles) engraving, profiling

• Sharp and Smooth
  
  • Smooth cutting surfaces and sharp edges (Ra as low as 0.2 μm)
  • Cylindrical beam resulting in parallel kerfs (no V-shape)
  • Virtually no heat impact thanks to water jet cooling capability
• Fast and Accurate
  
  • Finnish cutting of 1.6 mm PCD and cemented carbide in 3 mm/min. 
  • High mechanical precision with a tolerance of               +/- 5 μm
  • Very small kerf width (down to 30 μm)
• Clean and Easy
  
  • Clean surfaces and no depositions
  • No post treatment required
  • No focus control necessary due to long working distance
