RVD Compact Fibre Laser
The RVD precision laser cutting machine include both compact models in small bed sizes as well as fully automated models with shuttle tables for production cutting.
The RVD laser is a heavy duty work horse manufactured using the world’s leading mechanical and electrical components to maximise production but also to minimise downtime due to part failure. The RVD laser has a full enclosure design meeting CE standards resulting in radiation safe production. High precision servo motors and heavy duty ball screw driving systems ensure reliability, cutting accuracy and consistency.
The compact range have a simple and easy to use pull out drawer tray system which enables easy loading and unloading of material but also easy access to the collecting of cut parts. All RVD PR models are supplied with a fast automatic hydraulic shuttle table with dual pallet changer to increase cutting time. Class leading components have been carefully selected resulting in a fast and reliable machine for production cutting. CCTV is fitted as standard equipment allowing the operator to safely view the cutting action. The optional tube cutting attachment can process round, square and oval tube up to 160mm.
The nLight laser source is available in various power ratings from 500W and upwards. Additional features include a cutting head supplied by RayTools of Switzerland and high quality linear motion system with servo drives. Standard bedsizes range from 1500×1000 to 2000x6000mm.
