LVD have developed a laser cutting automation, designed for flexibility and speed. Handling sheet sizes from 1,000 x 1,000 mm up to 3,050 x 1,525 mm, the Flexible Automation for Lasers (FA-L) is now available on the Sirius Plus and Electra laser cutting machines.
Designed to work in sequence with laser cutting machines, the automation system unloads a finished sheet and loads the next sheet on the table within 40 s. This is possible due to separation of load/unload devices working simultaneously, resulting in fast changeovers.
Depending on sheet size, all or a number of suction cups are automatically activated. Other features include sheet thickness control and automatic sheet separators, ensuring lift of only one sheet of the intended thickness.
