Overview
The L3 is a versatile 2D fiber laser cutting machine designed for cross‑application use on a wide range of materials and thicknesses. It pairs a single‑optic cutting head and patented airplane load‑bearing beam with automation, adaptive sensors and integrated software to enable efficient, repeatable production with reduced operator intervention.

Key benefits

• Automation: storage, automatic loading/unloading and sorting devices extend autonomy and reduce bottlenecks.
• Ease of use: TRADJUST, intuitive FACE interface and portable on‑board terminal simplify operator tasks and setup.
• Process efficiency: adaptive sensors, digitalization and OPS production‑management software provide process control and lower cost per part.

Main features

• Patented airplane load‑bearing beam and lightweight airplane manipulator for high rigidity, speed and full table accessibility.
• Single optical head covering the full workable thickness range with high cut quality; no mechanical adjustments needed for production changes.
• DRY‑COOLING technology for active optics temperature control.
• TRADJUST: automatic modulation of cutting parameters according to part trajectories.
• Cut modes: Standard for safer unmanned runs and PowerCut for higher reactivity and speed.
• ACUT option for cutting with suitably treated compressed air as a lower‑cost alternative to nitrogen in many cases.

Intelligent / process solutions

• APC2 adaptive process sensor: monitors piercing in real time, detects cut losses, stops/restarts with remodulated parameters and searches focal length automatically.
• ANC automatic nozzle changer: magazine‑style nozzle holder for increased autonomy.
• Part tracing/identification, vision‑based nesting from remnants and machine‑learning monitoring for nozzle/beam centering.

Automation & integration
The L3 supports multiple automation configurations to match production needs: manual‑to‑automatic pallet changers (CPE), ADB pick‑from‑pack, ADLU/ADLL loading/unloading, LTWS and LTWS Compact store towers, MV tray‑store with picker‑crane, TN manual sorting and MCU automatic sorting. These options reduce operator touchpoints and integrate with factory flows.

Software ecosystem

• STREAM: programming suite to improve reactivity and reduce programming time and errors.
• OPS: modular production‑management software exchanging real‑time data with ERP/MRP and optimizing flow/priorities.
• LINKS: IoT monitoring for real‑time machine performance and efficiency analysis.

Applications
The L3 is suitable for multi‑material cutting (mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass) and for environments requiring flexibility, automation and digital integration. Vision options enable remnants recovery, positioning on previous machining references and nozzle/beam monitoring.
