AMADA WELD TECH’s Sigma Laser Tube Cutting System is the ideal solution for precision laser cutting of medical hypodermic tubes and stents.
Maximize throughput with high speed direct drive stages - Integrated X and theta “lathe” axes are direct drive technology with high dynamic precision performance delivering the highest accelerations and operating speeds
Multi axis options -The tube cutter provides 3 axes as standard; X, theta, and Z. A forth optional transverse axis, Y, is available for off axis cut geometries.
Designed for precision -The lathe stages are mounted directly to a composite base with vertical and transverse stages mounted to a composite gantry secured to the composite base. The composite material construction provides superior rigidity with vibration dampening. Linear motors combined with high resolution linear encoders precisely position the X and Y axes.
User interface with integrated camera - Large Windows® format user screens display comprehensive machine status with easy to use functionality. The camera image integrated to the user screen provides inline through-the-lens viewing.
Wet and dry operation - Standard, integrated water system with flow rate control, level sensors and easily changed filters. The lathe stages, rated IP54, and all connections are sealed for reliable wet operation.
Enclosure features and safety -The CDRH Class 1 workstation enclosure includes ISO 13849-01 Category 3 safety interlocks. The interlocked full front door lifts easily vertically to provide full access to tooling, focus head, and stages. A smaller window door slides horizontally maximizing operator productivity.
