Muratec LS3015MC

The Muratec LS3015MC puts an 8 kW fiber laser and a machining spindle on one sheet-metal machine, so a part can be laser cut, tapped and counterbored without leaving the table. It takes sheets up to 3050 x 1525 mm (5 ft x 10 ft). The laser side handles material up to 25 mm (1 in) thick and the machining side up to 16 mm (5/8 in).

The machining head is a proper tool spindle with an HSK-A50 taper, a 4,500 rpm maximum and a 20-tool ATC. Muratec lists tapping up to M16 and counterboring up to Φ20. Those limits show what the spindle is there for: finishing holes and threads in laser-cut blanks, not milling pockets or profiles. 4,500 rpm suits taps and counterbores of that size and is slow for small-diameter cutters.

The two thickness limits do not match, and that is the point to check against your part mix. Plate between 16 mm and 25 mm can be laser cut on this machine but falls outside the listed machining range, so threads or counterbores in thicker plate still need a second operation elsewhere. For work at or under 16 mm (5/8 in), the 20 tools in the changer allow several thread sizes and counterbore diameters on one sheet without a manual tool change.

Floor space is 3369 x 10,536 mm (11 ft 1 in x 34 ft 7 in). The long side is more than three times the 3050 mm sheet length, so the machine wants a long, narrow bay. The spec table here has no rows for machine weight, power demand or axis speeds; get those from Muratec before planning the installation.
