ALC technology automatically optimises laser cutting results in thicker mild steel materials. The technology uses dynamic feedback to monitor and regulate laser power, speed and assist gas pressure in real time during the cutting process, automatically optimising cutting parameters and ensuring a consistently accurate cut, high productivity and reduced scrap.
Unlike other process control systems, ALC does not rely on predefined parameters but measures and adapts in process to achieve the best cutting results.
ALC is ideal for processing thicker materials in an unmanned environment. In such applications, machine speed is often restricted to ensure reliability and account for potential variations in material properties, limiting productivity and increasing the cost per part.
ALC automatically adjusts to changing conditions, processing at the highest speed with the most efficiency and so alleviates the need to restrict or control the laser cutting system, providing up to a 10% increase in productivity. Consistently accurate processing also eliminates scrap or rework of expensive thicker materials.
ALC is available now for all models of LVD Impuls and 4kW Sirius and Sirius Plus laser cutting systems.
