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 600 is a laser welding machine for round parts up to 600 mm (23.5 in) in diameter and 600 mm (23.5 in) high, with a maximum workpiece weight of 130 kg (287 lb). Its beam source is an 8 kW solid-state laser focused through a PRECITEC YW52 welding lens, and it runs on a SIEMENS SINUMERIK 840D sl control.

The base machine has three NC axes, listed as XCW. Further axes are optional: the table gives them as "+2 XB (lens) + W (torque test)", which adds lens movement and a torque-test function. The torque test is rated 65 Nm (48 ft-lbf). That lets a welded joint be loaded and checked before the part leaves the machine, but only up to that figure, so a joint that must carry more in service cannot be proof-tested to its working load here.

Up to 3 fixtures can be set up. The table also lists one radial/axial weld counter bearing with the figures 1/3 mm, without saying what the two values describe; ask EMAG before building a joint design around them.

The envelope is as tall as it is wide, so the machine takes both flat, disc-shaped assemblies and taller parts. The weight limit is the figure to check first: a steel part that comes close to 600 mm in diameter will often reach 130 kg (287 lb) well before it fills the height. Among the ELC models, the ELC 600 shares the SINUMERIK 840D sl control with the ELC 1200 V and the ELC 6, while the ELC 6i runs on Sinumerik One.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

8 kW solid-state laser with a PRECITEC YW52 welding lens
Takes parts up to 600 mm (23.5 in) in diameter and 600 mm (23.5 in) high
Optional torque-test axis loads welded joints to 65 Nm (48 ft-lbf) on the machine
Up to 3 fixtures can be set up
SIEMENS SINUMERIK 840D sl control, the same control listed for the ELC 1200 V and the ELC 6

Limitations

Workpiece weight is limited to 130 kg (287 lb), which large parts can reach before they fill the 600 mm (23.5 in) envelope
Lens movement and torque testing are optional axes; the base machine has three NC axes
Torque testing stops at 65 Nm (48 ft-lbf), below the service load of many larger welded joints
The table gives no cycle time, footprint or machine weight, so line planning needs figures from EMAG

Best For

Laser welding round assemblies up to 600 mm (23.5 in) in diameter Welded parts that need an in-machine torque check up to 65 Nm Workpieces up to 130 kg (287 lb) and 600 mm (23.5 in) high Cells running up to 3 fixtures

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What size of part can the ELC 600 weld?

Up to 600 mm (23.5 in) in diameter and 600 mm (23.5 in) high, with a maximum workpiece weight of 130 kg (287 lb). For large steel parts the weight limit usually decides before the envelope does, so weigh the part rather than only measuring it.

02 What laser and welding optics does the ELC 600 use?

An 8 kW solid-state laser with a PRECITEC YW52 welding lens. Lens movement is not part of the base three-axis machine: the table lists it as an optional XB axis pair.

03 Can the ELC 600 check the weld on the machine?

Yes, with the optional W axis for torque testing. The listed torque-test capacity is 65 Nm (48 ft-lbf). A joint that has to carry more than that in use cannot be tested to its full load on this machine.

04 Which control does the ELC 600 use, and how does that compare with the ELC 6i?

The ELC 600 runs on a SIEMENS SINUMERIK 840D sl, as do the ELC 1200 V and the ELC 6. The ELC 6i is listed with Siemens Sinumerik One, so a plant standardising on one control generation should note the difference.
