LASER TECHNOLOGY
Fiber lasers offer versatility
AMADA’s REGIUS Series ensures continuous ultra-high-speed processing by leveraging the combined assets of a 3-axis linear drive system and numerous autonomous features. The linear drive reaches traverse speeds of 13,300 in. per minute. REGIUS reduces the time required to process complex nests by 15 percent compared to previous models. The BREVIS 1212 AJ features reliable high-speed laser cutting, easy material loading and a flexible Z-axis to ensure efficient cutting of assembled or pre-formed parts. This system cost effectively handles all work from prototyping to full-scale production.
