CUTTING TECHNOLOGY, SAWING & SAW BLADES

Laser projection technology helps increase circular saw cutting speed and accuracy

WITH its laser projection systems, SL Laser GmbH of Traunreut, based in Germany, aims to meet the needs of its customers for greater speed, higher precision and optimised costs and production processes. The versatile laser systems are used worldwide in the construction industry and in the production of prefabricated parts. Their ease of use, fast set-up times and robustness have made them useful tools for many companies. Material must be aligned and straight for many applications. To simplify this process, a line laser from SL is a visual aid for the operator to get the material cut in the right way. This helps to save material and cost in production. In this case SL Laser has some different models depending the dimensions. The use of these alignment lasers are useful for many areas of industry – for

example when the user needs to do an accurate alignment when creating a fence. Another use of the alignment laser is if an employee must stay within the green or red line boundary as a safety tool. For the cross lasers, SL Laser has different performances and can create different dimensions for the cross. Some of the operators use the cross lasers to show the edges and to have a starting point. Another application is to use the cross laser above the machine head of a CNC router to drive the head to certain positions. There the cross lasers show the operators where to put the vacuum cups. This saves a lot of vacuum cups from being destroyed by the machine and saves the machine or the drill part. In addition, the alignment lasers can be customised to meet the customer’s specific needs. Its laser modules use a highly visible red or green laser beam. All positioning lasers are available in different power classes that affect the distance and size of the display. The compact, rugged housing of the lasers is electrically isolated. The units have a constant output power that is maintained over a wide range of operating temperatures. As with all laser systems from SL Laser, its positioning lasers are optimised for use in industrial applications – this means the user can rely on a robust design and tested suitability for everyday use. The positioning lasers are resistant to many external influences and have a long service life. The precision of the positioning lasers meets the highest demands. A team of 25 experienced engineers and technicians serve all the demands of customers from development, construction, production and sales all from the Sl-Laser HQ.
