An eagle has landed

Well known for its expertise in laser and nitrogen generation technology, MSS Lasers is expanding its capabilities by offering the Eagle eVision and iNspire range of fibre laser machines, sharing its knowledge and experience in a close partnership with the manufacturer.

The machines are some of the most advanced in the market, giving users linear drives on all three axes and a low inertia carbon fibre transverse bridge construction which enables the Eagle to accelerate at up to 6G and achieve cutting speeds in excess of 100m/minute. To make the most of the high cutting speeds, table change times are less than 10 seconds, minimising idle time between sheets. MSS claims this combination of rapid cutting and fast changeover makes the Eagle range of fibre laser cutters one of the most productive and profitable for users.

For maximum versatility customers can choose from different laser power options from 2kW up to a maximum of 6kW which makes it one of the highest power fibre lasers currently available on a commercial machine, and ideal for the fast cutting of thick material. Accuracy is assured through the rigidity of the carbon fibre bridge and the dynamic polymer concrete frame which minimises vibration and heat related deflection of the machine geometry.

The Eagle range comes in bed sizes up to 6m by 2.5m, enabling it to cut the largest sheets. This extra bed size allows companies to cut very large parts and also benefit from more efficient nesting, increasing material utilisation rates.

The design of the fibre laser eliminates the use of CO₂ gas and many of the components such as the turbine, mirrors and bellows necessary on a CO₂ machine, greatly reducing maintenance requirements and the overall footprint of the machine. Power consumption is also around 70% less than a CO₂ machine enabling customers to make dramatic savings, especially valuable with increasing energy costs.

Further advantages include rapid start up and shutdown, minimising delays at the start of a shift, and the ability to cut reflective materials such as copper and brass and also plastic coated materials, thanks to the frequency range of the fibre laser.

Neil Jackson, sales director for MSS Lasers comments: “This is a very exciting opportunity for us. We selected the Eagle eVision and iNspire range of fibre lasers after extensive research and believe they are the most advanced machines in the market.

“They use very high quality components and their uncompromising build specification deliver ground breaking performance. By working in partnership with the manufacturer we will be able to contribute our considerable expertise to future development further cementing our relationship in the long-term.”
