Products
OPTIPLEX NEO-the Flexible Laser with Maximum Control
Mazak’s OPTIPLEX NEO laser-cutting machines deliver optimal thick and thin metal cutting, higher cutting speed, and superior edge quality. Available in a range of power levels from 4kW to 20kW, NEO is also available in 3015 and 4220 platforms. These laser machines features: innovative beam shape and diameter control, easy access to materials with large front and side access doors, a proprietary cutting head, intuitive control, and other intelligent options to support optimal laser-cutting performance.
FT-250
Mazak’s NEW FT-250 6kW is a versatile tube laser that was built on the successes of the FT-150 NEO. Designed to address the evolving market demands, the FT-250 takes productivity to the next level with machining capabilities, reliability and ease of operation. The FT-250 provides a high-speed precision centering system, dual motion units for high-speed cutting and machining functions, SmoothTUBE intuitive control with dual monitors, quick accessibility to the processing area and chucks, along with other optional functions that enable high-precision processing for a wide range of workpiece shapes in both large and small batch sizes.
OPTIPLEX HP
The OPTIPLEX HP takes high-performance cutting to the next level with a newly engineered 30kW solid-state generator and a proprietary cutting head built for durability and unique cutting functionality. Mazak’s exclusive unique new cutting process defined as “GrandCut,” enabled by innovative nozzle technology, an extended focal range, and programmable spot size—allowing clean, high-quality cuts beyond the traditional threshold of 25mm (1.00”), and easily moves into the 50mm (2.00”) range and above. In addition to the expanded range of thick plate cutting, the system increases cut speeds and processing with gas mixing technology, all controlled by the powerful SmoothLx CNC control. Recognizing the increased speed and cutting capability, Mazak has reinforced internal cut protection and added new process monitoring systems to provide real-time diagnostics and consumable tracking and maintenance. The OPTIPLEX HP redefines what’s possible in new levels of high-power laser cutting.
OPTIPLEX BEVEL
Building on the success of the OPTIPLEX series, the new OPTIPLEX 4020 Bevel was developed to meet the need for precise bevel cutting on thick materials for weld prep and fitment. The machine features a multi-axis articulating head with both A and B axes that allows for cutting angles up to 45 degrees. The new SmoothBevel control simplifies part geometry detection and lets operators choose from a variety of bevel profiles, such as K, X, and Y. Engineered for heavy plate industries like mining, construction, and agriculture, the machine offers the durability needed for thick plate cutting while maintaining high accuracy cut parts. Its proprietary 20kW SmoothCut generator and laser head delivers straighter, more perpendicular cuts with smoother face edge finishes. Combining bevel cutting capabilities with the proven performance of the OPTIPLEX series, the 4020 Bevel is an industry leader in its class.
