2040 Fiber Laser Cutting Machine With Fully Enclosure and Exchange Table

This 2040 model fiber laser cutting machine combines the safety and environmental benefits of a fully enclosed enclosure with the high-efficiency production capabilities of an exchange table, making it widely applicable in sheet metal processing, automotive manufacturing, machinery production, and other industries. During operation, the fiber laser emits a high-energy-density laser beam that is focused onto the workpiece surface, causing the irradiated area to instantly melt and vaporize. The movement of the laser cutting head is precisely controlled by the CNC system, enabling high-speed automatic cutting.

The fully enclosed protective cover of this laser cutting machine effectively isolates laser radiation, sparks, smoke, noise, and mechanical hazards generated during the cutting process, safeguarding the safety and health of operators and creating a cleaner, quieter working environment. It complies with EU CE/ROHS certifications. Additionally, high-definition monitoring cameras are installed at both the front and rear inside the enclosure. These, combined with an intelligent monitoring system, enable real-time intelligent supervision of the machining process, reducing the incidence of accidents and further enhancing operational safety.

The laser cutting machine is equipped with two 2000*4000mm laser cutting worktables. These tables automatically alternate to handle cutting and loading & unloading tasks: while one table is engaged in cutting, the operator can load or unload materials on the other table, ensuring seamless transition and continuity in the machining process. The use of this exchange table significantly reduces auxiliary loading and unloading time, with a switching time of only 15 seconds between the two tables, markedly improving the continuous processing efficiency of the machine.

What is an Dual-Shuttle/Exchange Table and How Does It Work?

The dual-shuttle table in a fiber laser cutting machine is an automated worktable system consisting of two identical cutting tables. Through its mechanical structure and automated control system, it enables simultaneous cutting and loading/unloading operations. A fiber laser cutting machine equipped with an dual-shuttle table completely eliminates machine downtime caused by waiting for loading and unloading, allowing the machine to perform cutting tasks continuously. Compared to conventional single-table fiber laser cutting machines, efficiency can be increased by over 30%. Moreover, since loading and unloading operations are conducted outside the machining area and are fully separated from it, the risk of operators coming into contact with moving parts, lasers, or sparks is significantly reduced, greatly enhancing safety.

The dual-shuttle table primarily consists of the worktables for carrying sheet materials, the drive system, and the positioning and locking mechanisms.

• Worktables: Divided into two identical tables, A and B, welded from thickened square steel and surfaced with tooth-type slats, capable of supporting sheet materials weighing several tons.
• Drive System: Composed of motors, reducers, gears, chains, etc., responsible for driving the worktables to move quickly and accurately between the cutting position and the loading/unloading position.
• Positioning and Locking Mechanism: When a worktable moves into the cutting area, it is secured by cylinders and positioning pins to ensure no displacement occurs during the cutting process.

Working Principle:

1. Initial Cutting Operation

   After the machine starts, Worktable A moves into the cutting area, and the laser head automatically cuts the workpiece on it.

2. Simultaneous Loading

   While Worktable A is cutting, the operator loads the next sheet onto Worktable B, which is in the standby position, without waiting for the cutting process to complete.

3. Table Exchange

   Once cutting on Worktable A is finished, the control system automatically moves it out of the cutting area and simultaneously shifts Worktable B, now fully loaded, into the cutting area to begin the next cycle.

4. Cyclic Operation

   Worktables A and B alternate continuously, achieving a seamless and uninterrupted production mode for cutting.
