Installation,
employee training and process capability testing has been completed
on the company’s newest laser cutting system according
to David Roberts, Vice President for Manufacturing at Majestic
Metals.
‘The
new laser cutting system is the Amada Gemini FO3015 and represents
the next generation of high production lasers” said Roberts.
The
metal cutting system is equipped with automatic blank loading
and unloading, water assisted stabilizing for thicker metals,
a non-contact cutting head and environmentally protective enclosure
with an extensive fume and particulate exhaust system. Materials
including aluminum, brass, stainless steels and carbon alloys
will be cut on the system.
The
Gemini will increase Majestic’s production efficiency
by utilizing high speed power piercing functions on thick materials,
dual high-speed rack and pinion servo motors for rapid positioning
and a high-speed loading and unloading shuttle table.
Cutting
power is generated by a 4,000 watt solid state RF-excited style
resonator. Combinations of assisting gasses and pulse waveforms
allows cutting of materials just a few thousands of an inch
thick to hot-rolled carbon plates up to 1” in thickness.
Fine tuning of the current allows the system to “etch”
materials for marking and graphics. Sheet sizes up to 61”
by 122.8” can be processed.
Technicians
Brad Case and Mitch Downing attended specialized Gemini operator
training at Amada’s technical training center in Los Angeles
in February.
