Our best estimate for a cnc laser cutting machine in this class — not a quote from EMAG. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The EMAG ELC 160 is a modular laser welding machine for parts up to 160 mm (6.3 in) in diameter, built around a 3-axis NC machining module. EMAG lists it in its laser welding range, and its distinguishing feature is scale-out: in the TRIO configuration up to 3 independent stations run side by side.

The laser source is open. The table lists CO2 lasers and fiber-guided solid-state lasers, fiber or disk, as compatible types. That matters to a plant that already standardises on one source type, or that has a weld process qualified on a particular beam, because the machine can be specified around it rather than the other way round.

The 160 mm (6.3 in) diameter limit places it among small drivetrain parts such as gears, hubs and shaft assemblies; anything larger needs the ELC 6 or ELC 1200 V, both listed at 300 mm (12 in). EMAG gives no part length, weight, laser power or cycle time for this model, so those have to be agreed for the actual part.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Which lasers can the ELC 160 use?

EMAG lists CO2 lasers and fiber-guided solid-state lasers, both fiber and disk types. The source itself is not part of the listed specification, so laser power and make have to be chosen with the quotation.

02 What is the TRIO configuration of the ELC 160?

The configuration with up to 3 independent stations. Each station works on its own, so output can be raised, or different parts welded, without adding a separate machine line. Ask EMAG how loading is arranged across the stations.
