Introducing the next generation of laser processing

PCL-G3

Programmable Collimator Laser

The next-generation programmable collimator combines enhanced durability with the same proven programming approach familiar to existing users. By retaining the positive-pressure purge system and introducing a fully watertight optical train, the design offers superior protection of critical optical components and increased long-term reliability.

At the core of the new design is a carefully engineered doublet-focal-lens optical system. This innovation produces a smaller, higher-quality beam and laser spot than previous Generation 1 and Generation 2 heads, resulting in improved process capability, greater precision, and performance levels that were previously unattainable.

Designed for precision. Built for reliability. A redesigned collimator, liquid-tight optical train, and doublet focal lens setup help protect critical optics and improve process capability.

LFV Technology

Now Available on Most CINCOM Machines and the Miyano ANX-42SYY, BNA-42GTY and BNA-42SY5

In Low Frequency Vibration cutting, “air cutting” time provided during cutting serves to break chips up finely and expel them. This prevents the machining temperature from rising, which prolongs tool life and gives relief from various problems caused by chips.

Key Features
  • Avoid spiraling chips & entanglement
  • Reduces heat generation
  • Reduces power consumption
  • Toggle with G codes
Benefits
  • Ideal for difficult materials
  • Controls malleable materials (copper/plastic)
  • Very fine work pieces
  • Excellent for deep hole drilling

  • Motor output: 3 HP
  • Tool holder type: JBS-15T
  • Number of B-axis tools: 12 (magazine) + 1 (built-in)
  • Max tool outer diameter: φ 30 mm
  • Max tool gripping diameter: φ10 mm (ER16)
  • Operability of the L20XII remains unchanged with ATC tooling

L20XII ATC (Automatic Tool Changer)

Maximize complex part machining with high-speed tool changes.

This unique, compactly designed ATC tooling with B-axis can be mounted on the gang tool post to enable use of a total of 13 front machining B-axis tools (12 ATC tools + 1 built-in). Using the ATC tooling in conjunction with existing turning and cross-machining rotary tools combines the machining speed of a Swiss-type automatic lathe with incredible versatility.

The ATC provides an environment where tool setting for several types of workpieces can be completed in a single setup. It is highly capable for complex parts—such as medical implants—and applications requiring heavy cross/end face machining with a wealth of tool variations including slitting and hobbing.
