References from retrofit and repair

Every reference follows the same structure: machine, problem, findings, solution and result. We state figures only when they are measured and approved by the customer.

AMADA FO 3015 after conversion to fibre laser

Retrofit

Reference 01 · CO2-to-fibre laser retrofit

AMADA FO 3015: fibre laser source instead of a FANUC C4000 resonator

Machine: AMADA FO 3015, CO2 resonator FANUC C4000, control FANUC 160i-L
Customer: Industry / region – customer approval required
Problem: Maintenance-intensive CO2 resonator – laser gas, mirrors and turbo blower cause running costs and downtime risk.
Findings: Machine bed, drives and CNC in good condition and still usable.
Solution: Fibre laser source (GW) and autofocus cutting head installed, interface logic to the FANUC control implemented, cutting conditions re-parameterised.
Result: Cutting stainless steel, mild steel and reflective metals with a fibre laser. Energy saving and cutting-speed figures will be backed by measurements before publication.
