Prima Power LASERDYNE 795 XS

The Prima Power LASERDYNE 795 XS is a multi-axis laser processing system for welding, drilling and cutting, with a cubic travel of X 1,000 mm, Y 1,000 mm and Z 1,000 mm (39.4 in each). It is the shorter of the two 795 versions.

Unlike a sheet-metal 3D laser, this machine is built around precision more than speed. Linear axes move at 20 m/min. Accuracy and repeatability of X, Y and Z are each stated as 25 um (0.001 in). The beam is steered by the BeamDirector, a two-axis head with 900° of C rotation and 300° of D tilt (±150° from vertical), turning at 90 rpm with an accuracy of +/-15 arcsec. Prima Power says its direct drive design has no gears or belts.

Prima Power names aerospace, automotive, turbine engine and general manufacturing as the markets it serves. Two families of fiber laser are offered. CW sources go up to 6000 W, and QCW sources run from 6000 W to 23000 W. Quick change nozzles let the same machine move from one laser process to another.

Control is by the LASERDYNE S94P, which integrates laser, motion and process sensing and can control more than 7 axes simultaneously, so rotary and tilt tables can be added; Prima Power lists a variety of those as options. The base is granite with a heavy-duty steel weldment. If the parts are tall, extended Z heights of 1370 mm (54 in) or 1830 mm (72 in) are available. For longer parts the LASERDYNE 795 XL doubles X to 2,000 mm.
