Press Release Summary:
Model SG-U44 performs 2D processing of sheet metal and plate, 3D cutting of pre-formed parts, and 3D rotary cutting of tube, pipe, and structural. Five-axis torch and simultaneously-controlled chuck allow laser to fabricate angle cuts, weld-prep bevels, and contours such as saddle joint cuts. Unit's 64-bit NC incorporates illustrated fill-in-the-blank screens to program complex cuts. Laser can process any length pipe and up to 4 ft x 4 ft x 1 in. sheet.

Mazak Shows Compact Triple-Mode SG-U44 Laser
SCHAUMBURG, IL - At IMTS 2004, Mazak will demonstrate cutting on its triple-mode SG-U44. This compact production laser performs high-speed 2D processing of sheet metal and plate, 3D cutting of pre-formed parts and 3D rotary cutting of tube, pipe and structural. It is ideally suited for fabrication job shops seeking to diversify their markets, automotive parts suppliers supplying hydro-formed or stamped parts and machine shops that are now machining thick plates or tubing.
In rotary mode, the SG-U44 performs 2D and 3D cutting of tube, including rectangular and triangular pipe as well as C, H, I and L-beams within a 6.0" diameter. The 5-axis torch and simultaneously controlled chuck let the SG-U44 fabricate-in one operation-precise angle cuts, weld-prep bevels and advanced contours such as saddle joint cuts. The 64-bit NC incorporates illustrated fill-in-the-blank screens to quickly program such complex contours and other cuts. An automatic Robo-feeder option enables continuous processing of mill-length pipe.
With its multi-axis torch, the SG-U44 also laser-cuts stamped, hydroformed and spun pre-formed parts as well as high-speed 2D cuts and bevels in flat material.
With a small footprint, the SG-U44 can process any length pipe and up to 4 ft. x4 ft.x 1² sheet. A choice of resonators up to 4000 watts allows fabricators to choose the power most efficient for their business.
Mazak's Space Cam software option generates NC code from a 3D CAD drawing, imported or crafted in the system. It can also generate code for a slot-and-tab workholding fixture.
The SG-U44 is part of a broad line of 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.
