Salvagnini's 2005 Lightning Laser Cutter Offers Exceptional Work Dynamics, Increased Productivity
HAMILTON, OH (July 15, 2005) - The Lightning Hi-Dynamic Laser System from Salvagnini establishes a new benchmark in industrial laser cutting technology, offering high-speed sheet metal processing of uncompromising cut quality, while supplying the industry's highest level of productivity per kilowatt. As lean as it gets, the 2005 Lightning loads blanks, cuts intricate shapes, unloads finished products, destroys skeletons, and files reports - all without human intervention.
Whether purchased as a stand-alone machine, a scalable building block for future system integration, or as a complete laser cell with ASRS and robot, the Lightning is designed to take maximum advantage of the enhanced cutting speeds attainable with the newest generation of limited divergence, Rofin SLAB series CO2 lasers. The result is a synergy of speed, accuracy, flexibility and efficiency so necessary in today's lean manufacturing environment. With a gaussian power density distribution of k>0.9 plexiglas burn for high speed cutting, low energy costs minimal laser gas consumption and reduced start-up time, the Lightning delivers what its name promises.
The speed, accuracy, flexibility and agility so necessary in today's lean manufacturing environment are a result of the Lightning's efficient lasers and software, combined with a robust construction, epitomized by a sturdy central load-bearing frame and patented airplane-type head positioner. This exceptional structural strength enables the Lightning to take full advantage of the high acceleration potential of its linear motors, providing both the increased positioning accuracy and high dynamics, so sought after by those responsible for productivity.
Manufacturing flexibility means being able to quickly switch from the production of one part to another - and no one does it better than Salvagnini. The secret is Salvagnini's proprietary software. CAD drawings imported into the system are rapidly converted to laser cutting programs, parts are automatically nested and cutting sequences optimized. Salvagnini builds all the craftsmanship and all the details of manufacturing into the software so you don't have to.
For more than 30 years, Salvagnini has served the global metalworking industry by designing, manufacturing, marketing and servicing flexible sheet metal processing systems, machines, process software and tooling for factory integration. Major product lines include punching and shearing, automatic panel bending and laser cutting systems. And as the originator of automation in the sheet metal fabricating sector, Salvagnini offers complete material handling capabilities, including ASRS, robotic loading/unloading, conveying and parts manipulation. More than 2500 Salvagnini systems are in operation in more than 50 countries around the world.
