VENTIS-3015AJ 4kW

Uncompromising stainless steel and aluminum cutting with the next generation of Fiber Laser 
The first cutting laser worldwide of a new fiber laser generation with 4 kW laser power and only one laser module offers the possibility of cutting sophisticated materials without compromise. For the first time, stainless steel, aluminum and other materials can be processed with a cutting quality equal to that of a CO2 laser.

Cutting performance in a new dimension
AMADA is introducing a new fiber laser cutting system with the VENTIS-3015AJ 4kW which can overcome the current limitations of fiber laser technology using a revolutionary flexible beam guiding system. With only 4 kW laser power, the system is able to perform to a level that is usually only achieved by 6 or 8 kW systems. The use of an innovative process means that the system is able to oscillate the laser beam in the kerf based on predefined patterns. This not only results in a significantly increased cutting speed, it also guarantees an absolutely precise bevel free cut. The surface roughness achieved in the fiber laser field is unequaled and is only comparable to the quality of a CO2 laser. At the same time, the so called fiber laser burr which is otherwise usual can be almost completely excluded.

Cuts through all materials – always with the highest possible beam quality 
Flawless and consistent quality is a particularly decisive factor for demanding clients. AMADA VENTIS-3015AJ is the solution for this task due to a continuously maintained laser mode. As a result, the AMADA VENTIS-3015AJ achieves unusually high-quality results for a 4kW fiber laser. The beam parameter product (BPP) is maintained consistently at BPP ≤ 0,9 mm*mrad. Due to the diverse oscillating patterns of the laser beam, each task can be approached individually; thin as well as thick metal sheets can be cut at its individual maximum speed and with equally high-quality precision.

Additional cost savings as a secondary effect 
In addition to its high capacity for performance, AMADA VENTIS-3015AJ also offers a high level of resource sustainability. The significantly higher processing speed provides an additional saving in costs for each manufactured part, because the required power and cutting gas can be further reduced to a significant extent.

ENSIS-3015 RI 3 kW
All-in-one solution for sheet metal, tubes and profiles
The Rotary Index (RI) unit with integrated material measurement meets a high-performance 3 kW laser cutting system with ENSIS beam source. This all-in-one system is set up in seconds from sheet metal to tube and profile processing, shortening production cycles effectively.

Productive and flexible with ENSIS technology
The ENSIS-3015 RI 3 kW fiber laser cutting system is based on the successful ENSIS principle whose strength lies in own developed beam sources and the unique variable beam control for ultimate flexibility and productivity. Expanding on the AMADA FO-MII CO2 laser system with Rotary Index, it provides all the advantages of fiber laser processing in terms of speed, profitability and cutting quality. 

The variable beam control function provides the ENSIS-3015 RI with the flexibility to process all sort of material types and thicknesses, regardless of whether the material in question is stainless steel or a non-ferrous material such as aluminum, copper, brass or titanium. 

For use in the ENSIS-3015 RI 3 kW, the latest generation of the Rotary Index unit has again been specially adapted. This contributes significantly to a rapid processing speed and accuracy, while the optimized tube guidance ensures practically scratch-free processing.

Switching between sheet metal, tube and profile processing in a trice
The additionally integrated measurement Touch-Probe sensor enables the quick and precise reference measurement of the component. The automatic nozzle changer, as well as the option to cut all materials and material thicknesses with a single cutting lens, reduces potential waiting and down times significantly. Separated tubes and profiles are safely caught in a special tub. The lateral sliding doors ensure optimal access and provide reliable protection against reflection and sparks.

Networked for even more performance
As most of the current AMADA machines, ENSIS-3015 RI runs with the newest AMNC-3i control system and network option, which guarantees easy and intuitive operation, contributes to set-up time minimization and provides a reliable analysis of machine data.

FLW-3000 ENSIS M2 

Compact Fiber Laser Welding cell with new space-saving cabin design and variable beam control 

By combining the FLW welding cell with the latest ENSIS fiber laser technology, AMADA takes laser welding to a new level and noticeably reduces production cycles. The ENSIS-3kW fiber laser and the variable beam control excel at the most different welding tasks. The weaving process effortlessly bridges larger gaps and, if required, an additional push and pull welding wire supply can be activated. 

New, compact cabin design
The compact fiber laser welding cell now offers the user a stationary variable twist and tilt table as well as a two-station rotary table integrated in the cabin wall, significantly reducing cycle times. Thus, this smallest of the FLW-ENSIS expansion levels fits perfectly into production environments with limited space. 

Effortless bridging of large gaps
Just like the larger models of the FLW-ENSIS fiber welding laser (M3 and M5), the new FLW-3000 ENSIS M2 model processes significantly higher gap dimensions than conventional laser welding machines. With the help of the variable beam control the 3 kW fiber laser adjusts to the different material requirements in the welding process.  In ring mode, for example, the welding beam can be fanned out in a ring shape and the innovative weaving process allows the laser beam to oscillate with the integrated rotating optics if required. For particularly large gaps, the so-called push-pull welding wire feeding can also be activated. 

Perfect quality due to adjustable welding depth  
The FLW-3000 ENSIS M2 laser welding cell enables precise welding of even thin-walled sheets and leaves practically no residue, deformation or discoloration on the rear side. This outstanding quality feature results from the precisely defined energy input of the fiber laser, whose strength and range in the welding process can be individually controlled in accordance to material requirements.

Welding in record time thanks to powerful oscillator
The proven ENSIS technology with the oscillator from AMADA's own development, which leaves conventional welding systems far behind, enables special performance. The FLW-3000 ENSIS M2 combines various materials highly effectively in up to half the 

conventional time. Even with overlap welding, the FLW-3000 ENSIS M2 requires only a fraction of the time otherwise required for the entire welding process, and the welding is extremely resilient. In addition, FLW-ENSIS performance is equally secure during butt welding, as well as welding with wire supply, whereby it even features a variance option to weld with or without wire.

AMADA HG-1003ATC 
The solution in the race with short delivery times and decreasing lot sizes

The fully automatic tool changers (ATC) in AMADA's HG press brakes cut setup times drastically compared to conventional systems. This maximizes manufacturing efficiency, especially in the case of small runs of complex parts demanding correspondingly frequent tool changes.

The automatic tool changer for maximum flexibility

Upper and lower tools are placed precisely and in the shortest possible time in the tool clamping, and set-up times are reduced by a good 70 percent compared to conventional systems. For example, the HG-ATC can set up 32 tools in just 36 seconds. In contrast to other press brakes with automatic tool changers, the HG-ATC allows each punch to be set up both positively and negatively in order to handle a wide variety of complex part geometries. The HG-ATC can even handle bending lengths of 5-10 mm effortlessly, as it also has a particularly small tool pitch. One HG press brake with automatic tool changer (ATC) can therefore effortlessly replace two conventional machines to be set up manually. This applies both to the HG-1003ATC with a press force of 1000 kN and a beam length of three meters and for the larger HG-2204ATC with a press force of 2200 kN and a beam length of four meters. Both systems are therefore perfect for short runs with frequently changing parts, and especially for complex parts even when manufactured as single items. What is more, all the tools are safely stored away in the automatic tool changer ATC and the risk of damage, for example when they are removed or installed, is eliminated.

External programming increases machine utilization
The state-of-the-art 3i control and external programming via the VPSS 3i Bend software noticeably shortens the preparation and increases the productivity of the HG-ATC. After loading the 3D-drawing, the software automatically calculates the set-up plan and bending sequence, as well as the necessary tools. 

Latest feature of the HG-1003ATC
The latest generation of the HG-1003ATC presented at the exhibition offers advantages especially for long bending parts: The three-point measurement actively includes the crowning system in the angle measurement. The bending angle of the part is measured left, center and right to ensure a constant result over the entire length.

EG-6013AR 
Automated bending for small and complex bending parts

The EG-6013AR is equipped with an extremely versatile automatic robotic system as well as a special back gauge sensor system for high productivity.

The system components of the EG-6013AR ensure maximum precision and long, unmanned running times in automatic mode. The machine comprises a servo-electric press brake with a press beam length of 1,300 mm and a press force of 600 kN. This works in conjunction with a robot that moves parallel to the machine, an automatic tool changer and also a gripper changer.

Easy loading and unloading
The 6-axis robot performs the loading process from different positions. That leads to effectively reduced downtimes and increases productivity significantly. At the same time, several alternative unloading options are also available. The completed parts are stacked by the robot or, if this is not possible, placed either in boxes or on a synchronized conveyor belt. 

Automatic tool changer and back gauge
The robot not only loads and deposits the parts, it also automatically changes both the bending tools and grippers and handles the part during the entire bending process. In order to enable fast processing, the robot also supports motion sequences that are not possible with manual operation. In this way, the mechanical grippers can also be moved around the tools in the working area of the press in order to optimally support the part following.

The back gauge of the EG-6013 AR, equipped with tactile sensor technology, detects the position of the workpiece before bending in X and Y direction and intervenes automatically to correct tolerances. The optimized back gauge system therefore allows even small and complex parts to be manufactured with maximum precision.

AMADA IoT concept V-factory

AMADA’s IoT concept with production monitoring and interactive support

The next generation of the comprehensive and network-based machine monitoring concept enables maximum control in the production process. My V-factory shows the entire connected production environment at a glance. The optional new IoT support is the second element that offers a direct customer service concept for error avoidance and immediate support.  

Production at a glance - simple, clear, at any time
In times of constant change, a producer must truly be able to adapt to many risk factors. Varying lot sizes and growing customer demands in regard to the complexity of components, a shortage of skilled workers and technical experts, as well as the demand for short throughput and delivery times are a real challenge to any entrepreneur. AMADA's V-factory concept offers practical solutions to counter bottlenecks and downtimes in advance. 

The foundation of success: Efficient machine monitoring and interactive customer service
My V-factory displays the production environment on a single interface for a comprehensive machine monitoring The customer can quickly and easily read the machine status like the running and completed programs. It informs about the exact running and set-up times, differentiating exactly between standby and downtimes. These and many other features, such as for production quantities, thus represent an ideal system for optimally designing productive processes.

The worst case is also taken care of, with a new AMADA service concept that takes effect in the case, when the customer is not aware of machine errors or potential dangers to his production process.  As incremental part of V-factory, the AMADA IoT support provides fast and reliable assistance with maintenance issues. Depending on the customer's wishes, it either switches on automatically in the event of warning messages or otherwise, reacts only after the customer decided to establish the contact by himself. In this way, many service calls can be avoided in advance, while at the same time the customer's data security is guaranteed.  

Another useful feature is certainly the remote service, which is popular with AMADA customers and has already enabled remote maintenance in the past. Recommended is the use with AMADA AMNC 3i control and the VPSS3i Software Solutions Pack. With this software package, virtual prototype simulation in particular is invaluable for the user, as errors can be avoided before they occur.
