LVD Company nv, Belgium has launched two new laser cutting machines — Phoenix FL 4020 and Phoenix FL 6020 — designed to handle sheet dimensions of 4,000 x 2,000 mm and 6,000 x 2,000 mm respectively. Available in 3, 4 and 6 kW versions, the new Phoenix models offer high versatility as all-round machines capable of delivering first-class cut quality in both thin and thick materials in standard steels as well as non-ferrous materials and process large sheets quickly and economically. Phoenix Series machines provide the highest energy efficiency and productivity benefits of fibre laser technology.
Phoenix FL machines achieve superior cut quality through an advanced cutting head design that allows automated adjustment of focus position and focus diameter, known as ‘zoom focus’. To achieve the highest possible speed in every material thickness, focus position and diameter are automatically controlled and adjusted by the CNC controller. This advanced technology makes the Phoenix FL the most flexible fibre laser cutting machine, capable of cutting different sheet thicknesses with high productivity and excellent cut quality.
