How do you measure productivity with your Fiber Laser? How about 9 holes per second. YES, you read that correctly!

Achieving the amazing rate of 9 holes a second is all about acceleration. Sure, the Eagle’s iNspire Series has a top simultaneous speed of 13,780 ipm, but it pops holes at the rate of a machine gun due to industry leading 6g acceleration. The FASTEST fiber laser is also the QUICKEST. For most applications, acceleration is more important than velocity.

Acceleration on Intricate Sheet Metal Parts

Machine acceleration helps reduce part cycle time on both thick and thin parts. On thick plate material, the acceleration helps you move quickly between cuts (rapid traverse moves). On thin sheet metal, acceleration helps you during rapid traverse moves and accelerating and decelerating on intricate geometry.

This part shows a lot of ornate detail that will require the machine to decelerate and accelerate on all direction changes.

Negotiate Corners Faster with 6g Acceleration

If the fiber laser is cutting left to right as shown by the solid red arrow, the machine will have to accelerate at the beginning of the segment and then decelerate as it approaches the corner. If the machine is not quick enough, then it’s likely the laser will never reach the programmed cut speed on this short segment before it has to start decelerating at as it prepares for the right hand turn (in direction of the dotted line).

DESIGNED FOR ACCELERATION

   Linear motors are used on all 3 axes (yes, even the Z)

   Polymer granite base, such as used on CMMs, provides ultimate rigidity, temperature stability, and vibration dampening

   Gantry configuration is idealized for low weight and high stiffness

   On the Eagle iNspire the bridge is carbon fiber – 2.5 times lighter than steel yet delivering greater stiffness and vibration dampening
