6-Axis Rotary Laser Efficiently Cuts Small Diameters



SCHAUMBURG, IL - Mazak's new multi-axis FG-150 is a 3D-rotary laser cutting system that automatically loads, feeds, laser cuts, and unloads materials with up to a 5.9" diameter. The 3D-rotary laser offers fabricators cutting smaller diameter pipe and structural a cost effective automated laser-cutting system.

The FG-150 offers unattended fabrication of round, square, rectangular, and triangular pipe as well as I and H beams, C channel, and angle iron. A 64-bit NC simultaneously controls the compact 3D cutting head and auto-fixturing rotary chuck, enabling the system to laser cut - in one operation - precise angle cuts, weld-prep bevels, and advanced contours such as saddle joint cuts. A choice of 3 resonators, from 1500 to 4000 watts, allows fabricators to choose the power most efficient for their business.

The FGCAM software incorporates illustrated fill-in-the-blank screens to quickly generate NC code, performs dynamic nesting, and has over 70 pre-programmed cut conditions. Fabricators also have the ability to control cuts themselves and save frequently used cut condition set-ups.

The new FG-150 is part of a broad line of 1500 to 4000-watt CO2 laser cutting machines and automated material handling equipment designed for the efficient production processing of sheetmetal and plate as well as preformed sheetmetal and pipe. This line is offered in the U.S. by Mazak Nissho Iwai, Schaumburg, Illinois.
