The green wave for your laser

is called F-CUT!

F-CUT – more output at lower costs! Continuous movement of the processing head without stopping at the beginning or end of a contour – only the laser beam is switched on and off. This function is made possible by fast direct communication between laser control and axis control via MHC-L (Mitsubishi Electric High-speed Control for Lasers).

The laser beam can thus be activated or deactivated within one microsecond.

With F-CUT you achieve a significantly shorter machining time (higher part output) and thus reduced costs per part.

Billions extra photons.

Up to 98 % shorter piercing time for mild steel!

Reduction of piercing times for medium and thick sheet thicknesses
The skilful combination of high-energy pulse peaks and a jet nozzle can lead to piercing times being reduced by up to 98 %. In recent years, it has been possible to increase the thickness of the material for which high-peak piercing can be used from 8 to 25 mm.

Operator health and the environment benefit

with Mitsubishi Electric!

BETTER TO EXHAUST FUMES WITH TARGETED CONTROL OF THE INDIVIDUAL AREA THAT REALLY MATTERS.
The fumes arising during the cutting process are exhausted reliably and, depending on the position of the processing head, locally and passed through a filter system with a purity rate of 99.999 % (minimum particle size 0.5 µm) – and with minimal maintenance effort. The outcome is clean air – safe for the oper­ator and the environment. The outcome is clean air – safe for the oper­ator and the environment.

24-hour productive operation.

Reliably and quietly at night.

Optimisation of unproductive times?

Narrow gap cutting

Narrow gap processing reduces N2 assist gas consumption remarkably by up to 30%.

Cut-off function

Easily cut offcuts into several pierces by using the Offcut Cutting screen.

AI Assistance (Artificial Intelligence)

Light and sound are constantly monitored during the cutting process to determine the process condition. Mitsubishi Electric’s AI technology analyses both and takes immediate action if required. The result is a “non-stop processing system”.

AI NozzleMonitor

• AI NozzleMonitor requires AI assistance and an autom. nozzle changer
• The NozzleMonitor takes pictures of the nozzles to check the nozzle condition.
• A check of the nozzle condition takes place after a set cutting time and can also be requested by AI Assistance (option) as soon as a cutting failure has been detected.
• The AI software automatically identifies if the nozzle still is in a good condition or if it is damaged.
• In the case of a damaged nozzle the software automatically checks if there is any spare nozzle of the requested type in the nozzle changer (option). If yes, it automatically changes the nozzle. If not, it will stop the process and send an error message to the operator.

AGR-eco

AGR-eco increases the profit by reducing the costs and increasing the output. Es kann die Betriebskosten senken, indem es den Verbrauch des Schneidgases Stickstoff (N₂) um bis zu 76 % reduziert, während es die Produktivität um bis zu 26 % steigert. This economical optimization is mainly achieved by Mitsubishi Electric’s original nitrogen gas flow technology and the faster communication by the AI-assisted D-CUBES CNC control but also due to shorter piercing times and higher cutting speeds due to the high beam quality of Mitsubishi Electric’s own fiber laser source. The benefits are available without the disadvantage of any nozzle touching the material surface – meaning no scratches on the surface – and working with material from 1 to 25 mm thickness.

• Up to 76 % nitrogen (N2) gas reduction with mild steel (8 kW fiber laser source).
• Up to 70 % nitrogen (N2) gas reduction with stainless steel (8 kW fiber laser source).
• Up to 26 % productivity increase (8 kW fiber laser source).
• No scratches on the material surface (the nozzle is not touching the material surface).
• Working with material (normally to be cut with nitrogen (N2)) 1 to 25 mm thick.

MEL’S AR - augmented reality technology

For increasing the remnant sheet utilization and to reduce setup time the operator friendly function “MEL’S AR” – augmented reality – was designed. After placing the remnant sheet somewhere within the working area a virtual top view photo can get created by pressing a button on the D-CUBES control panel. Afterwards single parts or complete nestings can be placed onto the remnant sheet. This makes sure that the parts really fit onto the designated remnant sheet.

• MEL’S AR-function incl. two cameras inside the machine.
• Higher remnant sheet utilization.

Easy virtual placing of the parts by drag and drop.
