Mazak OPTIPLEX 3015 DDL

The Mazak OPTIPLEX 3015 DDL is a flat-sheet laser cutting machine built around a 4 kW direct diode laser instead of a fiber or CO2 source, with a listed working area of 1,524 x 3,048 mm (60 x 120 in). It is not in Mazak's current lineup and may be an older model, so the figures on this page are the listed ones and could not be matched to a current Mazak page. Treat them as a starting point when looking at a used machine and confirm them against the machine's own documentation.

The listed source is a Panasonic YL-F40 direct diode laser with a 0.97 micron wavelength, running CW and pulsed with +/- 2% power stability. Listed maximum thicknesses are 25 mm (1.0 in) in mild steel, 19 mm (0.75 in) in stainless steel and 16 mm (0.63 in) in aluminum. The reflective metals have rows of their own: 10 mm (0.38 in) for both brass and copper, and 5 mm (0.188 in) for galvanized sheet. These are capacity limits, not the thicknesses a shop would cut all day, so ask for sample cuts in the material that matters to you.

Motion is by helical rack-and-pinion on X and Y and a ball screw on Z. Rapid traverse is listed at 120 m/min (4,724 ipm) in X and Y and 60 m/min (2,362 ipm) in Z, with 1.8G acceleration. Z travel is only 110 mm (4.33 in), which is normal for flat sheet and rules out formed parts and tube. Positioning accuracy is listed as +/- 0.05 mm per 500 mm in X and Y, with repeatability of +/- 0.03 mm (0.0012 in).

The table describes a pallet machine. Each pallet is listed at 930 kg (2,050 lb), with a pallet change of about 25 seconds. Plan the installation around a listed machine weight of 16,500 kg (36,376 lb), a floor space of 10,000 x 6,100 mm (394 x 240 in) and a 57 kVA power requirement. The control is listed as MAZATROL PreviewG.
