The Optiplex 3015 DDL 4kW, which uses Direct Diode Laser technology, is suitable for laser cutting operations.
The machine has been designed to offer ultra-fast cutting. The Optiplex DDL series can cut thin material 20 per cent faster than fibre lasers. The machine has an axis acceleration of 1.8G and benefits from rapid traverse rates of 120m/min.
Positioning accuracy is maintained to within ±0.05mm/500mm in the X- and Y-axes and to within ±0.01mm/100mm in the Z-axis. The machine also offers exceptional repeatability accuracy ±0.03 in the X-, Y- and Z-axes.
The Optiplex DDL is a highly efficient machine capable of a wall plug efficiency of 40-50 per cent compared to 10 per cent for a CO2 resonator; 15-20 per cent for a disc resonator and 30-40 per cent with a fibre resonator.
The Optiplex DDL also benefits from user-friendly ergonomic design, including the new NC control PreviewG.
