SD is our short cut for a laser head consisting of either the swivel axis only or in combination with a highly dynamic linear axis for laser processing of pipes.
Suitable optics are used for the laser source used, either directly water-cooled metal mirrors with coatings of least absorption, or alternatively glass optics. The use of an adaptive optics optionally allows the freely programmable focus position for cutting and piercing.
The exclusive use of torque motors reduces mechanically moving components and thus guarantees consistently high machining accuracy and best machining results over a long service life, against mechanical damage reliably protects our proven 3D collision protection.
The clear aperture of the current laser swivel head SH35 is 35mm, the larger version SH60 is still available with a clear aperture of 60mm. When a solid state laser is used, optical components with 1.5 “and 2” are available and protective glass cassettes on both the collimator side and the pressure seal below the focusing lens protect the optics from contamination.
There is also the option of replacing one of the standard optics with a special unit in order to realize the use of a camera.
Various applications can be operated by means of processing units for cutting or welding; alternatively, a more torque-intensive version of the pivot axis is available for welding applications.
