LASERTEC 45 Shape

3D material removal by laser

Laser texturing

Working area of the LASERTEC 45 with integrated swivel / rotary table (5-axis version), laser head with precision scanner, CCD camera and retractable measuring sensor.

As the successor to the LASERTEC 40, the new LASERTEC 45 boasts the highest diversity, a com-pletely new operating concept, a larger work table, longer traverses, higher workpiece weights and fully integrated 5-axis machine kinematics.

The new user-friendly control interface allows for simple operation by touch screen, direct programming into the control system and offline programming for more complex components.

Whilst providing maximum process reliability and reproducibility, the new LASERTEC 45 can generate geometrically defined surface structures, the finest contours and filigree cavities for the production of injection moulds, extrusion dies, inscriptions and engravings of the highest quality in 2D and 3D forms and with no tool wear.

LASERTEC 45 Shape: High-precision 3D laser removal and texturing in a new dimension

Defined surface structures, the finest contours and filigree cavities.

How laser ablation worksHighly dynamic deflecting mirrors direct the laser beam onto the work-piece in order to remove the material. A minimum wall angle of 5° can be reached for each material. The actual laser removal takes place in horizontal layers (the thickness of which depends on the laser and material: 0.3 – 10 μm). Laser removal with contour-parallel finishing allows for the creation of 3D cavities on the workpiece.

Materials: Tool steel, copper, graphite, cemented carbide, CBN, PCD, ceramics, titanium, aluminium, brass, bronze, silver, gold

The largest fields of application

High-precision texturing and 3D material removal by laser on up to 5 axes.
