AMADA’s Regius Series fiber laser cutting system provides ultra-high-speed processing by leveraging the world’s fastest 3-axis linear drive system plus a variety of autonomous features. The linear drive generates 5Gs of acceleration and reaches traverse speeds of 13,300 ipm, reducing the time to process complex nests by 15 percent compared to previous models.
The 6-, 9- and 12-kW Regius Series fiber lasers utilize AMADA’s Laser Integration System (LIS), which is designed to reduce setup time and maximize quality. Thanks to the ability to autonomously monitor for nozzle condition, pierce penetration, tip-ups and debris on the protection glass, the Regius navigates around production issues with ease and easily avoids laser processing disruptions. Further automated capabilities of the LIS include machine and cutting process monitoring as well as the adjustment of machine and process parameters with minimal operator input. The system provides unmatched levels of efficiency even for operators with little experience.
Regius Advantages:
- Continual nozzle inspections via the i-Nozzle Checker help operators avoid processing defects. The i-Nozzle feature regularly inspects nozzles for their position, centering, shape and diameter.
- Optimally configured process parameters are made possible by the i-Process Monitor, which automatically analyzes beam and cutting conditions.
- The i-Optics sensor installed inside the lens holder regularly monitors the condition of the protection glass to detect debris and reduce processing defects.
- Efficient processing of remnant materials is in part thanks to the i-Camera Assist System, which is installed inside the safety enclosure and works in tandem with the AMNC 3i control.
- To reduce the risk of damage during high-speed cutting, the laser head tilts if a collision with a tip-up occurs. After a collision, the nozzle is automatically replaced and cutting resumes immediately at the next NC coordinate, giving users significant reductions in cycle time.
- Borrowing from AMADA’S Ensis Technology, the Regius is enabled for continuous thin to thick material processing without a cutting lens change or manual setup. This is thanks to the highly innovative resonator that automatically changes the beam mode to accommodate the material and thickness being processed.
- Users benefit from AMADA’s AMNC 3iEx control, the company’s fastest available, which now features an upgraded processor. Featuring an easy-to-navigate graphical interface and a high-speed processor, operators of any skill level can be up and running quickly and easily.
