Cutting, marking, perforating, and ablation

One conceptTwo sizes

The FLACS SCAN 300 and the FLACS SCAN 600 are standardized laser stations, which enable cost-effective and versatile processing of plastic parts.

Depending on individual requirements, various system versions are available, including models with a turntable, swivelling axis, or automated robot loading. Using modern scanner technologies for laser beam guidance enables the production of high-precision contours at exceptionally high speeds. In addition to the cutting of parts, markings, perforations, and material removal can also be precisely implemented. Depending on the application, accuracies of up to ±0.02 mm can be achieved.

Laser technologylaser source, scanner and beam guidance

This system approach uses CO₂ lasers with power outputs between 60 and 650 watts. The laser is mounted on a precise alignment plate and has a fully enclosed beam guidance, which is kept dust-free through positive pressure.

Various laser exit options are available depending on requirements: a fixed nozzle, a 2-axis scanner, or a 3-axis scanner. The latter enables processing of larger working areas while maintaining high focus quality. The scanner is controlled via a powerful industrial PC.

The beam guidance is fully enclosed and allows for easy adjustment, ensuring consistently high precision. To minimize the focus diameter and hence achieve higher process performance, a special beam expansion is integrated into the beam guidance. This optimizes beam quality and ensures more precise energy delivery into the material.

Method System components

The system is controlled via a modern and intuitive touchscreen HMI. Programming can be carried out precisely and user-friendly using a keyboard with a touch panel. For optimal operating comfort, the control panel can be ergonomically swiveled into the working area or, if necessary, recessed into the system.

The system features an integrated maintenance unit to ensure a long service life of the optics and reliable operation.

The control cabinet contains all components required to control the system. The control system, including safety functions, is handled through a powerful Siemens industrial PC. The lower section houses a compartment for documentation and spare parts.

A coarse separator is provided as a filter under the fixture plate, which can be used to separate small particles. A pocket filter is also integrated in the rear section of the system. In robot mode, a tube can be connected directly to the front section to allow the extraction through the robot.

The use of an air dryer for the process gas prevents moisture from penetrating the system's optical system. This allows reliable system operation.

with turntable
Turntable with swivelling axis
with robot loading
System versions with sliding table

System version turntable

The turntable design enables extremely short part changeover times of less than 1 second. While a part is being processed on one side, the operator can simultaneously insert a new part on the other side. This reduces downtime to a minimum. The maximum part size is 600 x 400 x 300 mm.

System version Turntable with swivelling axis

With the swivelling axis option, the laser system is expanded with a turntable that can rotate in reverse from 0-180°. Two swivelling axis are mounted on the turntable, allowing the parts to be freely programmably rotated around the longitudinal axis within a range of +/- 120°. This offers high flexibility and precision when machining parts.

System versionRobot loading

For automatic loading, we offer a version in which the front area of the station is completely open. A linear robot or 6-axis robot can flexibly load parts into the station. The robot repositions the parts multiple times to enable processing from different perspectives with the scanner.

System version Sliding table

For manual loading of small and compact parts, we offer a flexible sliding table version for our FLACS SCAN 300 or FLACS SCAN 600. This can be individually adapted to different tasks and parts. The sliding table is available in both pneumatic and manual versions.

System version FLACS SCAN 600

Same principle - only larger and more powerful. As a result, the FLACS SCAN 600 offers even more options for processing large parts or cycle-time-critical applications.
