Integrated fibre laser cutting system LASER Photonics is launching Titan FXi, a new product targeting the growing demand for compact, reliable and easy-to-use industrial-grade laser equipment for metal processing. The Titan FXi combines advanced technology with a small footprint. With CO 2 and most fibre laser cutting machines, manufacturers need to invest and install bulky chillers, expensive gas delivery systems, exhaust lines, power connections, and the large laser component. This can increase the required space to operate up to 40 per cent more than the cutting unit itself. Each system also requires separate expert maintenance throughout its service cycle. The Titan FXi is fully integrated and requires only power and exhaust connections. The Titan FXi features fibre laser cutting technology, motion system technology and CNC controls in one space- saving unit. With plug-and-play installation it is simple and safe to operate and is virtually maintenance free. The system comes as standard with a latest-generation ytterbium 2 kW fibre laser, and is field upgradeable to 10 kW with the optional coupler system. The Titan series of fibre laser cutters all feature fully enclosed class 1 safety systems, software-controlled CNC programming, small heat affected zone, high cutting quality and fast cutting speeds. Three different sizes of machine are available – 4x8 ft, 5x10 ft and 6x17 ft – with motorised single shuttle material handling system (an optional dual shuttle is available). Laser Photonics has delivered laser machines to industries such as defence, government, aerospace, automotive, biotech, fashion, medical, manufacturing and food processing. Its systems include laser 3D metal printing (additive manufacturing), laser cutting, laser marking, laser engraving, laser etching, laser cleaning, cold laser marking, and laser deep engraving systems.

FOR cutting operations in manufacturing lines of welded stainless steel tubes, Condoroil has designed a new lubricant. Condorlube R 666 leaves the surface dry and bright, avoiding oily residues that can opacify the surfaces and collect dirt. Also present among dusts that adhere to the surfaces are metal oxides that act as a trigger for corrosive phenomena that, in the presence of an oily surface layer that prevents the maintenance of an adequate passivation film, can result in the formation of reddish lines and/or spots due to the oxidation of the material.
