Mazak Optonics Releases New Flat Sheet Laser with Bevel Cutting Capabilities, OPTIPLEX BEVEL
Mazak Optonics Corp. has introduced a new machine model in the OPTIPLEX 2D laser-cutting product line, OPTIPLEX BEVEL.
OPTIPLEX BEVEL is available in a 4020 machine size plus 30kW and 20kW power options.
Designed to angle cut heavy plate for weld preparation and fitment, OPTIPLEX BEVEL integrates bevel cutting technology with the accessible design of Mazak’s flagship flat sheet laser, the OPTIPLEX NEO. Large doors on the front and side of the machine minimize work area restrictions by offering complete access to the cutting table for easy loading and unloading of material. The rotating CNC display provides flexibility to work at the front or side of the machine.
Laser-cutting technology featured on OPTIPLEX BEVEL incorporates a multi-axis articulating head with A and B axes allowing for cutting up to 45 degrees in angularity. The machine utilizes a proprietary laser source and cutting process to produce high quality parts with straighter, more perpendicular cuts and smoother edges.
The new SmoothBevel control provides quick identification of part geometry that requires beveling and allows operators to easily select from a wide range of bevel profiles possible, including “K” “X” and “Y.”
Mazak’s OPTIPLEX BEVEL is equipped with several intelligent functions, including Automatic Nozzle Changer and Nozzle Centering Camera. The Automatic Nozzle Changer command performs nozzle replacement by automatically selecting the appropriate nozzle for each laser-cutting job while prioritizing reduced assist gas consumption. The Nozzle Centering Camera function provides visibility of nozzle location while manual adjustments are made on the torch. Intelligent setup, monitoring, and cutting functions available on the machine support optimal laser-cutting performance.
