Jointed arm of cutter/welder employs multiple mirrors to channel output of 3,000 W CO² laser. Precision bearing joints require alignment just once/yr. Low-speed, oil-free turbine and long-lasting electrodes reduce wear on laser optics. Microprocessor-based controller performs self-diagnostics and supports 3 distinct pulse modes for max flexibility. System installs on popular multi-axis robots, costing 30% less to acquire and 65% less to operate than YAG/FO combo.
