Salvagnini Introduces the L1 Laser Cutter

Salvagnini's new L1 laser cutter is designed and engineered to be an affordable and versatile addition to any sheet metal fabrication shop. The L1 is suitable for operations that want automation and efficiency in a laser cutter, but don't require the high speeds of the Salvagnini L2 Lightning.

"Economical to purchase and own, these hard-working machines with flying optics are designed to maximize the full potential of the high power, high density beam produced by the latest generation of Rofin-Sinar SLAB series C02 lasers," said a spokesperson. "Complementing the world's most sophisticated laser source, Salvagnini has packaged the latest, most powerful numerical controls, the Salvagnini Six, with automatic sheet handling, easy to use programming tools and nesting software to make the L1 laser an indispensable asset to any shop.

"Manufacturing flexibility is always crucial. It means being able to quickly switch from the production of one high quality part to another, and no one does it better than Salvagnini. Salvagnini's secret is a combination of versatile machines and proprietary software. CAD drawings imported into the system are rapidly converted to laser cutting programs. Parts are automatically nested and cutting sequences optimized, employing a new honeycomb algorithm to provide almost perfect blank use and common cut optimization to minimize scrap percentage. Unloading and stacking of individual parts can be accomplished automatically, and part production costs are routinely calculated from production lists. In essence, Salvagnini builds all the craftsmanship and all the details of manufacturing into the software so you don't have to.

"Whether purchased as a stand-alone machine or as a scalable building block for future factory automation, the hard working Salvagnini L1 makes laser cutting an affordable option for any sheet metal fabrication shop."
