Mitsubishi Laser Showcases Newest Technology at Fabtech Booth #4039



Wood Dale, IL - At Fabtech 2008, Mitsubishi Laser will showcase the next generation of its best-selling, most popular laser machine ever, the LVPLUS. The new LVPLUSII combines several new performance-enhancing features with the productivity features that made the original machine such a success.

The machine's new 40CF-R resonator technology, built from the success of Mitsubishi's CFX-series resonator, reduces rise time/fall time of square wave pulse. This provides a more consistent beam power during the cutting process and delivers a more brilliant and consistent edge quality. Additionally, the uniform low current discharge provides low power stability for improved micro-machining and etching.

The LVPLUSII delivers new Brilliantcut technology, which can produce a cutting surface roughness equivalent to the typical machined finish. Brilliantcut provides optimal processing conditions, reduced taper, and reduced discoloring on the heat-affected zone.

Also on display will be Mitsubishi's new NX machine, designed for speed, with resonators available in 4,000 and 6,000W. The machine's new structural configuration allows increased G-force, giving it unmatched speed while keeping the highest possible accuracy. The new height sensor is twice as fast as previous machines.

Mitsubishi Laser's hybrid series, the HV, delivers increased machine tool rigidity, faster processing speeds, and cutting-edge servo control system. Cost performance is enhanced through reduced running costs, maintenance costs and longer consumable parts life. Its open table provides excellent operability and easy maintenance. The machine's simple beam path is highly stable and its long (11.8-inch) z-axis stroke offers an expanded application range.

All Mitsubishi Laser equipment is automation-ready. Mitsubishi is versatile and expandable, with several high-production options that can transform and expand any laser system for maximum versatility and throughput. Visit Mitsubishi's Automation Center inside the booth to see video testimonials and learn more about the industry's leading automation.

The DX612, one of the newly redesigned, next generation of Mitsubishi's Waterjet technology, will also be on display inside the booth. The new machine will be built in the United States beginning in 2009. Waterjet's Mitsubishi 700 Series Control delivers a new level of programming sophistication for extreme accuracy and the ability to produce more complex parts.

Dedicated Nano technology delivers unprecedented productivity and high-precision machining. The units are controlled on a 64-bit, PC-based, 15-inch touch screen display, with improved graphics and NC design to simplify operation.

Visitors to the Mitsubishi booth can also see the newest press brake technology from Toyokoki. The new HYB-1253 hybrid press brake features a 15-inch Mitsubishi 3D touch screen Windows XP controller. The control will allow direct connection to a factory network to upload and download programs and other visual data. Programs created off-line by Mitsubishi's Diamond Soft off-line software can be directly uploaded with 3D graphics and tool set-up information. The Fabtech machine will also feature the latest in laser light curtain technology from Fiessler Elektronik, the AKAS-3 motorized safety system, and WILA New Standard hydraulic upper and lower clamping.

Since introducing the first laser cutter to the US market, in 1987, Mitsubishi Laser has occupied dominant positions in engineering, electronics, manufacturing and product development.
