of innovative laser cutting systems, has introduced a Multiaxis, 2-D/3-D
High-Speed Laser System, DOMINO HS 1530, said Prima.
"The system has the highest axes speed available in its category, features a combined X-Y-Z axes speed of 5,900 in/min, and provides a single, economical solution for both 2-D and 3-D laser cutting," said a Prima spokesperson.
"The DOMINO HS system incorporates several key features that guarantee high machine accuracy. Its direct drive cutting/welding heads offer high precision and dynamics, and a low maintenance solution. In addition, its synthetic granite frame eliminates vibration and guarantees thermal stability, contributing significantly to system accuracy. Positioning accuracy and repeatability is 0.001" and the maximum combined positioning speed is 5900 in/min."
"This one high performance machine can quickly and accurately cut flat parts, shaped parts or perform bevel cutting, considerably expanding manufacturing possibilities, especially for smaller shops seeking 3-D processing," said Thomas Burdel, vice president of sales and marketing for PRIMA. "With its extremely high axes speed and high acceleration rate, the DOMINO HS is perhaps the most productive laser system in the industry."
"The innovative, 2-D/3-D system has a compact overall size due to its unique cantilever design. However, DOMINO HS has a large X-Y-Z working capacity of 120"x 60"x16". The laser head does two rotations: A-axis, 360 degrees continuous and B-axis, 135 degrees. The DOMINO HS cuts anything from conventional 2-D flat sheet work to complex three-dimensional pieces at any head orientation with ease and high speed and high accuracy," said the spokesperson.
"DOMINO HS features a unique CNC focal axis and a capacitance height sensor that accurately and automatically maintains the standoff distance from the work surface while adapting to material and thickness accordingly. This eliminates manual operator intervention, facilitating unattended production runs. The laser head has a magnetic breakaway system that protects against crashes. In the event of an obstruction, the head safely releases and the machine can be operational again in minutes.
"The optional CNC rotary axis provides fast, accurate tube cutting capability. Automated pallet changer, fully automatic material handling and storage unit options are also available, significantly reducing manual labor and enhancing productivity.
"The DOMINO HS system's flying optics design with the fixed work piece guarantees higher processing speeds and better part accuracy. All machine elements are embedded in a single, easily transported block and no special foundation is required. The integrated cabin is fully enclosed for safety, and is also designed for maximum visibility and accessibility for part loading/unloading and maintenance.
"DOMINO HS incorporates its laser resonator right into the machine structure for stability and low maintenance. All axis movement and the entire cutting process are programmed/operated via the PRIMA-9000L, an intuitive CNC control station with touch-screen function and windows interface. DOMINO HS can also be programmed offline with 2-D PICAM CAD/CAM or 3-D Cenit software. The system is available with a 2500W, 3000W or a 4000W CO2 laser resonator," the spokesperson said.
