DMG Mori LASERTEC 50 PowerDrill vs DMG Mori LASERTEC 50 Shape Femto
DMG Mori vs DMG Mori · CNC Laser Cutting
Summary
The DMG Mori LASERTEC 50 PowerDrill and the DMG Mori LASERTEC 50 Shape Femto share the same axis travels: 540 x 500 x 700 mm (21.3 x 19.7 x 27.6 in) in X, Y and Z. What separates them is the laser source and the work it is meant for.
The DMG Mori LASERTEC 50 PowerDrill is listed with an Nd:YAG laser of 300 W / 500 W or a QCW fiber laser, and is used for cooling air holes and shaped holes in turbine components. The DMG Mori LASERTEC 50 Shape Femto uses a tunable laser source with variable pulse length and burst modes, for miniature molds, engraving and fine 5-axis detail in carbide, ceramics and glass. Floor space is listed as 43.1 ft² for the first and 4 m² for the second.
