MITSUBISHI ML3015eX PLUS laser

MITSUBISHI ML3015eX PLUS laser, built in 2017 by the renowned Japanese brand Mitsubishi Electric, is designed for cutting workpieces made of mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper and brass. The machine uses the latest technology available on the market, including the extremely powerful Cross-Flow type MITSUBISHI ML45CF-R laser resonator with transverse laser gas flow.

The laser cutting machine provides burr-free cutting of the highest quality and low surface roughness using a laser beam with a maximum power of 4.5 kW, created by electrical discharges in a special gas mixture with a relatively slow flow and in a direction perpendicular to its axis. Real-time power monitoring and a constant laser beam length ensure high cutting quality over the entire working area and prevent power deviations of more than ± 1%, which are needed to process highly reflective materials.

The ML3015EX(S2)-45CF-R laser cutting machine has a large work area with a length of 3050 mm and a width of 1525 mm, on which sheets with a maximum weight of 930 kg and dimensions (L x W) of 3050 x 1525 mm can be processed. The equipment also features, among others, the intuitive MITSUBISHI M700 CNC control with touchscreen and the ECO Mode function, which reduces standby energy consumption by up to 99% by gradually switching off components during unplanned breaks. The total weight of the machine is 10700 kg.
