14. THE MACHINE
PLATINO’s structure is open and the work volume is fully accessible. The cantilever arm, on which the laser head is installed, leaves the work volume free and accessible from 3 sides.
The manual loading/ unloading of the pieces is easy and comfortable, either from the front or from the side of the machine.

15. THE MACHINE Equipped with pallet for supporting 2D workpieces.
Complete with trays for collecting scraps, on wheels for easy handling.
Divided into sectors with separate suction, allowing the optimization of the fumes exhausting in the area where the process takes place.

Main features:
capacitive sensor
focal-axis
5”, 7.5” and 10” lens (optional)
rapid lens change capability
Safe Impact Protection System

18. THE LASER HEAD
The F-axis is a NC-axis which automatically adjusts the lens position to set the correct focus according to material and thickness of the piece to be cut:
cutting and piercing of different materials and thickness without manual adjustment of the focal position, automatically set according to a data base;
accurate control of the cutting process in the whole work area.

19. THE LASER HEAD
Quick change of the lens: from 5” to 7.5” in few seconds. No need to change the whole head.
A highly convenient “drawer-type” system enables the quick change of the lens from 5” to 7.5”or to 10”(*) focal length and vice-versa. No manual adjustment is necessary, since the lenses are pre-centered.

27. THE CNC
Focus Finder through LPM sensor allows to detect the right focal position point in a total automatic way.
The machine is commanded by a specific program: when the right focal point is defined, the focal axis is automatically moved to the right position and the operator has only to push the specific button in order to save the new focal position.
Very fast procedure
No more mistakes due to operator interpretation
Very high accuracy (better than 0.1mm)

28. THE CNC Optical Precision Control (OPC):

QUICK AND ACCURATE BEAM ALIGNMENT
The system allows a quick, simple and perfect beam–tip alignment
the machine cut a reference figure
the tip touches the edges of the figure
the system calculates the difference between the beam theoretical position (perfectly aligned to the tip centre) and the real one
the instructions for the operator appear on the CNC screen
he turns the alignment screws to correct the beam position

29. THE CNC
The measuring software allows taking highly accurate references on the sheet metal thanks to the capacitive sensor.
If the sheet position is different from the theoretical one, the part program must be adapted to the real position.
Thanks to this software, by measuring 3 points on the sheet, the values for the rototranslation of the part-program are automatically calculated.

32. MAIN OPTIONS Quick Piercing
This option allows the execution of piercing with very high powers and therefore extremely reduced times.
It consists of:
an oil spray device
a compressed air blow device
The oil film prevents the adhesion of incandescent material to the surface around the piercing hole.
The air blow expells the slag from the area immediately after piercing has been executed.

33. reduction of piercing time
MAIN OPTIONS
LPM - Laser Piercing Monitor
The LPM option allows to automatically minimize the piercing time.
In particular:
it keeps the piercing process under control, by modulating the frequency and the duty cycle. This allows the use of high power parameters.
it immediately stops the piercing process when the material has been perforated.
Benefits of the LPM
reduction of piercing time
no expert Operator necessary: the best piercing parameters are automatically calculated
the piercing is less violent: no damages to the lens caused by incandescent sprinkles produced during the process

MAIN OPTIONS
Plasma Monitoring and Automatic Restart
The LPM can be used as a plasma detector as well, specially in case of Nitrogen cutting (stainless steel and aluminium alloys).
In this case the LPM can detect possible problems during the cutting process. Thanks to this information, with the Automatic Restart function it is possible to stop the cutting and restart it with different parameters.
