LCG 3015 LCG Laser Cutting System Standard Features The LCG is a true flying optic laser system — the material remains stationary as the cutting head moves in all three axes (X, Y & Z) to process the sheet. This translates into faster overall production and more accurate parts at higher cutting speeds. Additionally, the LCG can be fully automated with a variety of material handling options, designed and built by AMADA, or it can be equipped with a shuttle table system. The LCG is built to adapt to the evolving production environment of manufacturers. The cutting head is propelled by a high-dynamic motion system that achieves the accelerations and rapid traverse speeds of some, more expensive linear drive motion systems. With an advanced 3.5kW CO2 AMADA/Fanuc resonator, the LCG is a high-end, high-production laser system for the thin to mid-thick material market.

LCG features include: AMADA/Fanuc 3500i-C resonator specifically designed for the LCG laser, achieving the same cut quality as a higher-powered CO2 machineIncludes an enclosure that surrounds the entire cutting area of the machine with access for part removal.Utilizes a helical rack and pinion drive system for both the X and Y axis - allowing for higher acceleration and faster rapid traverse speeds compared to traditional rack and pinioin systemsSectionalized dust collection system that opens only ducts directly beneath the cutting head for fume extraction, improving dust collectionAMNC/PC control with touch-screen and intuitive graphics display that easily swivels for operator viewingHigh-speed cutting head with increased sensing speed, lens burn detection, auto-focus control and auto nozzle cleaning and head calibration

Amada’s HD NT press brake series can handle a full range of applications in bend lengths from 101 to 161 inches. The HD Series features a Hybrid Drive System that is engineered for high-precision bending repeatability, low energy consumption, and less maintenance than a conventional hydraulic press brake.

Amada’s patented variable slit crowning feature ensures consistent angle accuracy. Larger models are equipped with an auto-crowning feature that provides precise results based on calculations create by the AMNC-PC control. Additional features of the HD 1303 NT include:

High-speed, high-precision bending sensor that eliminates test bends.
Increased distance between tooling and greater stroke length
provides for a larger processing area.
Expanded processing area enables deep box bending.
Increased distance between punch and die allows for safe and easy
processing of heavy materials.
143-ton capacity122" maximum bend length
18.5" open height(without clamps)
7.87" stroke±.00004" ram repeatability

A wide variety of part geometries can be accurately processed thanks to a high-precision tapered backgauge. For precise bending control, the backgauge provides continuously updated feedback to the AMNC-PC NT-based control where exact positioning can be viewed at any time.

To provide maximum productivity, the HD’s intelligent control digitizes the bending process and delivers highly efficient offline programming. Enhanced network functions within the AMNC control allow operators to call up complete sets of bending data from the server. In addition, the AMNC control can create 3D images from DXF, DWG, and IGES files. Programming bending data using 3D images makes programming a more intuitive process. More importantly, 3D simulation enables the identification of problems before they can occur.

In summary, Amada’s full line HD series boasts enhanced bending features for a wide range of applications. This series is engineered to expand fabricator’s processing range, reduce energy consumption, ensure angle accuracy, reduce trial bends, improve operability, and bring digital processing to markets. As a result, the HD NT series is another example of Amada’s commitment to the ongoing development of new machine technologies that achieve the highest levels of performance while reducing operating costs and environmental impact.
