MAX PHOTONICS

MAX Photonics opened in 2004 with its international headquarters in Shenzhen, China. More information is available at MAX Photonics.

RAYCUS

Raycus was established in 2007 and is headquartered in Wuhan, Ching. In March 2013, it developed China’s first 10kW industry-level fiber LASER, making China the second country to master the core technologies of 10,000W fiber LASER in the world. More information can be found at Raycus.

CUTTING HEADS

Piranha FLEX LASERs integrate different cutting head designs which are matched to the requirements and performance of the selected resonator make and power.

Piranha cutting heads are implemented in collaboration with our manufacturing partners in China. LaserMech cutting heads are provided from their facility in Michigan.

Piranha Cutting Heads

Piranha auto-focus cutting heads are designed for cutting applications using from 3kW to 20kW power. Heads may include features such as high speed focusing, modularized cover glass holders, optics temperature monitoring, water cooling.

CNC CONTROLS

Cypcut 4000 CNC

Piranha FLEX-series LASERs include a graphical CNC control with Cypcut software. It is a control system and software designed for sheet metal fabrication. Individual or multiple parts are imported as DXF files and can be nested automatically or manually. No knowledge of G- and M-codes is required.

Cypcut software is available as a free download and can be installed on any number of computers for offline programming at no additional cost. The completed nests can be directly transferred to the LASER CNC control via a network connection.

Features include:

• AI, DXF, PLT, Gerber, LXD file format, and standard G code import
• File optimization including removal of duplicates, connecting unclosed segments, removing minimal graphics and distinguishing inner and outer contour and setting machining sequence automatically.
• Graphic edit functions including zooming, translation, mirror, rotation, alignment, replication, and combination.
• Application of lead lines, cut seam compensation, micro-joint, bridge, inner/outer cut, etc.
• Automatically distinguish inner and outer contour then determine the compensation direction and checking of the lead line.
• Support curve split, merge and smooth; transfer text to curve; parts combination and explode etc.
• Automatic nesting including common line cutting and remnant nesting.
• Manual nesting by array function.
• Flexible sorting functions. Users can group the graphics to lock the cutting sequence.
• Preview the cutting sequence.
• Quick set fly cutting.
• Support of various piercing methods including segmented pierce, incremental pierce, pre-pierce, group pre-pierce. Users can also set separate parameters of pierce and cutting including LASER power, frequency, gas, pressure, peak power, delay, cut height etc.
• Powerful material library function allows all process parameters to be saved for reuse of the same material.
• Breakpoint memory when the cutting process is interrupted. Users can select resume position before or after breakpoint.
• Users can locate to specified position in stop or pause status and resume cutting.
• Supports round tube and plane sheet cutting.
• Supports intersecting line cutting.
• Supports various edge-find methods with high precision.
• Supports remote control of the system through wireless operator and ethernet.

Service, training, and support of the CNC control and Cypcut is provided by Piranha.

Hypcut 8000 CNC

Piranha FLEX-series LASERs offer the graphical Hypcut 8000 CNC control. Offering the same features as the Cypcut 4000 CNC, the Hypcut 8000 CNC includes advanced features to support high power resonators.

Hypcut software is available as a free download and can be installed on any number of computers for offline programming at no additional cost. The completed nests can be directly transferred to the LASER CNC control via a network connection.

DUST COLLECTORS

TOPSINN DUST COLLECTOR

Topsinn dust collectors include an independent controller with LCD screen, Siemens motors, and pulse control backflush valves. The solid industrial design provides for easy low cost maintenance and stable, low noise operation.

ASSIST GAS CUTTING SYSTEMS

AIR ASSIST GAS CUTTING SYSTEMS

Oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2) are the most common assist gases used when cutting metals with a fiber LASER. Air is a combination of both O2 (21%) and N2 (78%), small amounts of argon and carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gases and water vapor.

Air cutting provides many of the benefits of N2 cutting along with increased cutting speeds in thicknesses 10ga (0.135”) and thinner and significantly lower cutting gas costs.

Air used in LASER cutting must be available with the correct purity, dryness, pressure, and flow. Typical shop air compressor systems are unable to deliver the air quality and performance necessary. A dedicated air compressor system is required.

NITROGEN GENERATION SYSTEMS

Nitrogen generator is the separation of air components to capture nitrogen. Nitrogen makes up 78% of the gas in the atmosphere. The rest is 20.9% oxygen, 0.9% argon, 0.03% carbon dioxide and trace gases such as hydrogen, helium, neon, krypton, and xenon. For industrial LASER cutting equipment, PRESSURE SWING ABSORPTION (PSA) is used to provide the high pressures and flow rates required.

NOTE: The maximum flow rate and purity required depend upon the cutting application and edge quality expectations. Other nitrogen generation systems are available to meet different requirements. Please contact Piranha for more information.

FACILIITY REQUIREMENTS

AMBIENT CONDITIONS

The Piranha FLEX must be in an area which has the following ambient conditions:

1. Ambient temperature between 10° and 40°C [50° and 104°F]
2. Relative Humidity at 95% or less

NOTE: Piranha requires that the LASER and chiller always remain on to avoid costly damage from condensation.

FOUNDATION REQUIREMENTS

No special foundation is needed for the Piranha FLEX LASER. Standard concrete floors of a minimum 150mm (6”) depth are recommended. Flatness should be within 12mm (0.5”). There should be no expansion joints, saw cuts, or cracks in the floor beneath the frame of the LASER.

ELECTRICAL POWER

NOTE: Transformers are available for other voltages. Contact Piranha for more information.

CUTTING GAS

NOTE: Customer shall install and utilize bulk liquid oxygen and bulk liquid nitrogen storage tanks. Using portable tanks for O₂ or N₂ will create additional chances of contamination entering the gas supply lines and the cutting head due to frequent tank changes. Contamination will cause cutting head lens failure and thus cause machine down time and additional operating expense.
