MITSUBISHI ML3015eX PLUS laser cutting machine

MITSUBISHI ML3015eX PLUS laser cutting machine was built in 2019 in Japan by MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATION. The machine, distinguished by the use of the most advanced technology available on the market, is an excellent choice for precision cutting of sheet metal made of, among others, steel, aluminium and copper. Workpieces with a maximum length of 3050 mm and a width of 1565 mm are machined by means of a reliable head with auto focus, which is powered by a 4.5 kW laser beam. The laser beam is generated 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, combined with a constant beam length, ensures the highest cutting quality over the entire work area and prevents power deviations of more than ± 1%, which are necessary for machining highly reflective materials.

The entire machining process is fully automatic, thanks to the use of an automatic pallet exchange system. This system allows workpieces to be loaded and unloaded simultaneously during cutting, thus increasing production efficiency and reducing machine downtime to a minimum. All this is complemented by an advanced CNC control with a touchscreen. The ML3015EX(S2)-45CF-R laser is offered with an extensive range of equipment, consisting of, among others, a reliable Cross-Flow type laser resonator with transverse laser gas flow and a dust collector. The total weight of the machine is 10700 kg.
