Nukon Cross flat-bed fibre laser cutting machineA new range of flat-bed fibre laser cutting machines from
Nukon Lasers UK is making high-quality, high-performance laser cutting accessible to even more sub-contractors and manufacturers wanting to laser-cut in-house with the introduction of the the Nukon Cross Series. The new range of machines have been designed with a strong focus on productivity. They provide powerful 2-D flat sheet metal cutting capability and are available with bed sizes of 3 x 1.5m, 4 x 2m, and 6 x 2m. Depending on requirement, they can be specified with power options from as little as 2kW, right up to 30kW to undertake the most challenging of laser-cutting applications.
High-spec optional features are equally impressive. Depending on model, buyers can choose from ‘state of the art’ American-made
nLIGHT fibre lasers or robust
Raycus fibre lasers. Advanced
Lantek Expert CAD/CAM nesting software can also be specified, as can CutLine programmable beam-shaping technology (for nLIGHT models).
Other options include automatic nozzle cleaning, cut detection, piercing sensing, and automatic nozzle changing — all technologies to help ensure businesses are competitive in today’s commercial environment. Cross Series machines have also been designed to integrate with the full range of Nukon automation systems, for huge productivity benefits with minimal manning levels.
Nukon Lasers said: “Through the new Cross Series, we are making high-quality, highly reliable European-built Nukon fibre laser cutting machines accessible to even more UK manufacturers and sub-contractors — all with uncompromising levels of after-sales support from the Nukon Lasers UK team.”
UK’s sales director, Steve Haddrell, said: “The Cross shares the DNA of the massively popular NF Pro model it replaces, but has been designed to take the next step, offering blistering performance and efficient design, at a highly accessible price point. Nukon has always taken pride in building exceptional quality 2-D, 3-D and tube fibre laser machines at prices which compare extremely favourably to other European brands. In launching the new Cross Series, Nukon is providing a genuine high-quality alternative for organisations that may otherwise consider looking further afield for an affordable fibre laser.
Cross Series machines may be more price-accessible than other models in the Nukon range, but they are built to the same exacting standards and will easily exceed the requirements of many sub-contractors and in-house manufacturing centres. Depending on workflow, in reduced outsourcing costs alone, a Nukon Cross Series machine should typically pay for itself over a couple of years, but will work reliably in your business for many, many more.”
