Typically used for surgical tools with a domed end, NUTEC’s multi-axis micro-machining center – for laser cutting small diameter parts in complex configurations – is capable of performing intricate path motion with precision and optimized kinematics for smooth, uniform performance.
The kinematics are created by a special architecture of all servo-controlled translation axes to achieve constant velocity and cutting conditions throughout a range of operating conditions, enabling 24/7 operations. The granite structure based motion subsystem guarantees long term stability and precision.
The 300W High Stability SPI fiber laser is fully integrated and delivered by fine kerf optics, operating in CDRH Class 1 mode. The machine is equipped with an automated access door, light curtain for enhanced operator safety, and a HEPA filtered exhaust system for gas and debris removal. An automated location gauging system allows fast loading by operator or robot.
The machine operation is based on a CNC digital servo control with G&M-code RS-274 capability, facilitated by a Windows based graphical user interface (GUI) nuFace with operator and engineering mode to control and monitor all machine functions.
Typical applications include laser cutting bio-medical parts in the 1mm to 8mm diameter range with domed ends requiring spherical cuts, toothed designs, oblique contours, and relief angles to create sharp edges.
