Jenoptik : presents fast and precise 3D metal cutting laser machine at EuroBLECH

Jenoptik's Automotive division is presenting its laser machine series for 3D metal cutting JENOPTIK-VOTAN® BIM at EuroBLECH in Hanover, the leading trade fair for international sheet metal working technology. Visit us at EuroBLECH from October 25 to 29, 2016 in Hall 13, booth C98.

Laser cutting allows a highly efficient processing of complex metal parts. Compared to conventional machining methods, the non-contact laser process minimizes both the machining time due to lack of set-up times and the costs caused by tool wear. Due to its design and high flexibility, the laser cutting machine JENOPTIK-VOTAN BIM is the ideal, virtually wear-free tool for processing of a variety of metal working parts. With repeat accuracy of up to 50 μm and also highest dynamics, this laser machine ranks among the most precise systems of its class. In just one second, the JENOPTIK-VOTAN BIM cuts a circle or other standard contour. This allows for a significantly shorter cycle time compared to other robot systems.

The system concept of the JENOPTIK-VOTAN BIM series is based on a beam guide inside the robot. Thus, laser sources with a power of up to 5 kW can be used without the necessity for a complex external beam guide. At the same time, the equidistant beam path prevents the laser beam from pumping effects, ensuring a stable beam quality. This approach provides Jenoptik customers with a technological competitive advantage.

With its metal cutting laser machine series, Jenoptik serves the automotive industry by cutting e.g. complex car body and structural parts as well as hydroformed tubes, being used for exhaust systems or car body rail manufacturing. JENOPTIK-VOTAN BIM is easy to integrate into production lines or combined processing units.
