CL-6 LASER CUTTING SYSTEM UPS PERFORMANCE AND VALUE

The CINCINNATI CL-6 laser cutting system offers great performance with an upgrade to a new GE Fanuc C200E "Level UP" resonator. A GE "Ecomagination" development, the innovative resonator puts out 2500W for superior cutting speeds. The upgraded CL-6 cuts thicker materials faster with no increase in operating costs. The CL-6 allows shops to cut accurate, high-quality parts in short or long runs within hours of installation.

The CL-6 is available in 4ft x 8ft and 5ft x 10ft table sizes, with the option of dual interchangeable pallets. This allows operators to unload parts and reload material on one pallet while the laser cuts parts on the other. Pallet change takes just seconds, enabling near-continuous cutting.

The standard non-contact heads maintain exact standoff from conductive materials, enabling the user to precisely cut sheets that are not perfectly flat. An optional tactile head optimizes processing of other materials.

A Windows NT control enables operators to load and store production programs, while Ethernet allows efficient downloading of part programs. CAM programming and nesting software from Cincinnati converts 2D CAD files into machine code that utilizes all the capabilities of the machine, optimizing productivity and part quality.

Dynamic Power Control(DPC), standard on the CL-6, automatically adjusts laser power to federate, maintaining consistent kerf width and edge condition. Enhanced pulsing produces smooth edges, reduces heataffected zone (HAZ), and is especially effective at accurate cutting of intricate features. "Look ahead" control capability anticipates and corrects against tool path errors, increasing hole-cutting feedrates and creating more accurate contours. A Rapid Pierce option significantly reduces time in piercing 3/16 in. or thicker materials, and can greatly reduce overall processing time on parts or nests that require numerous pierces.
