Bodor Laser, a prominent global manufacturer of laser cutting solutions, has officially launched its innovative SK Series High-Speed Tube Laser Cutting Machine. This introduction coincides with the debut of the company's new "Extreme Speed" concept, which aims to revolutionize tube processing by integrating high-speed performance with structural stability and intelligent automation throughout the manufacturing workflow.
Enhanced Performance and Efficiency Metrics
The SK Series is engineered to deliver exceptional reliability under demanding high-speed conditions. It boasts a maximum acceleration of 2.7G and a rotational speed reaching 260 revolutions per minute. The rear chuck achieves positioning in just 2.5 seconds, facilitating rapid tube alignment and enabling continuous cutting operations without significant downtime.
According to comprehensive internal testing conducted by Bodor Laser, the system demonstrates a remarkable increase in processing efficiency. Operating at 2.7G, it achieves up to 1.8 times higher productivity compared to systems functioning at 1G, showcasing a substantial leap in operational speed and output.
Precision and Automation Advancements
Precision remains a cornerstone of the SK Series, with the laser head Z-axis capable of speeds up to 60 meters per minute. This is supported by an upgraded adaptive following algorithm that ensures fast and accurate height adjustments during the cutting process, maintaining tight tolerances and reducing material waste.
The machine also supports simultaneous loading and cutting, which drastically reduces tube loading time to approximately 8 seconds. This feature contributes to an overall increase in processing efficiency by more than 20%, streamlining production cycles and enhancing throughput.
Structural Innovations for Stability
To maintain stability at elevated speeds, the SK Series incorporates Bodor Laser's proprietary arch-bridge structure. This design utilizes a three-dimensional triangular transmission system that optimizes force distribution during rapid movements, thereby improving mechanical balance and ensuring long-term operational stability.
The chuck system is constructed from high-strength alloy materials and undergoes advanced heat processing treatments. These enhancements have resulted in a positioning accuracy improvement of over 20% compared to previous generations. Additionally, the implementation of front-chuck over-travel technology allows for dual-chuck clamping of long tubes, ensuring consistent accuracy across the entire cutting process.
Intelligent Nesting and Customization Options
In response to the industry's shift towards small-batch, high-mix production, the SK Series integrates an AI-based intelligent nesting system. This system automatically optimizes cutting paths, increasing cutting efficiency by up to 30% and improving material utilization. Under comprehensive production conditions, this can lead to annual savings of more than 1,000 tubes, significantly reducing operational costs.
Optional configurations further enhance the machine's versatility, including zero-tail cutting, bevel cutting, and loading and unloading following support. These features allow the SK Series to be tailored to a wide array of advanced manufacturing requirements, providing flexibility for diverse industrial applications.
Setting New Industry Benchmarks
With the introduction of the Extreme Speed concept, Bodor Laser aims to establish new benchmarks for efficiency and reliability in tube laser cutting. The SK Series represents a significant advancement in manufacturing technology, offering a blend of speed, precision, and automation that addresses the evolving needs of modern production environments.
The launch underscores Bodor Laser's commitment to innovation and its role in driving progress within the laser cutting sector. By focusing on enhancing overall manufacturing efficiency, the company continues to contribute to the advancement of industrial automation and smart manufacturing solutions globally.
