Boosting Laser metal Cutting machine Precision with Custom Gearboxes
[Project Case share] Newstart planetary gearbox solution for laser metal cutting machine application
In the realm of manufacturing, the evolution of laser metal cutting technology stands out as a important part of precision engineering. We custom made a special high precision planetary gearbox for customer’s laser metal cutting machine recently.
What’s the Laser Cutting Machine?
Laser cutting machines, sophisticated tools that use a laser to cut materials, are indispensable in modern manufacturing. The principle behind these machines is straightforward yet revolutionary: a high-powered laser beam is directed at the material to be cut, melting, burning, or vaporizing it with exceptional precision. Over the years, these machines have undergone significant advancements, becoming more precise, efficient, and versatile.
Types of Metals Processed by laser metal cutting machine
Laser CNC tables, a core component of these machines, boast the versatility to handle a wide range of metals. From steel and aluminum to copper and their alloys, the capability to process diverse materials with precision underscores the importance of machine stability and precision. Each metal’s unique properties require specific machine settings, making the precision of components like gearboxes crucial to the cutting process.
Custom Requirements of customer’s machine
The demand for higher precision and torque in laser metal cutting has led to unique customer requirements.
As customer’s requirement:
1. Backlash is less than 7 arcmin,
2. Nominal output torque is 110Nm,
3. With a helical gear output
These specifications are not just numbers but are critical for industries where the slightest deviation can lead to significant quality and efficiency issues.
Customizing Gearboxes: The AD90 Case Study
To meet these demanding specifications, the AD90 gearbox serves as a perfect starting point for customization. Through meticulous engineering and testing, the AD90 was modified to exceed the client’s requirements for precision and torque. This case study not only demonstrates the potential for customization but also reinforces the gearbox’s pivotal role in enhancing machine performance.
