Ficep brings high-power laser cutter to UK

A supplier of structural steel and plate processing equipment, Ficep UK, is introducing Cutlite Penta’s state-of-the-art Plus laser system for metal cutting with resonators up to 30kW.Offering a working area of up to 15 x 3m and capability for processing stainless steel and mild steel up to 50mm, the Plus is a powerful option for applications involving heavy engineering.

According to Ficep, linear motor drive technology provides highly responsive dynamics, enabling high productivity even on extremely complex geometries, while the machine’s low energy consumption makes it an effective solution in productive and environmental terms.

The smooth dynamics of the cutter head delivers cuts with low pressure, resulting in a considerable saving in manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the Evo 3 cutting head is equipped with a contact-free capacitive sensor and its optional bevel head can rotate up to 45°in both cutting directions.

Says Chris Berriman, Ficep UK sales director: “Cutlite Penta’s Plus and heavy-duty range of laser systems complements our portfolio of cutting systems and allows us to meet the needs of metal processors who require a system that can cut thick capacity steel at a greater speed with high levels of accuracy.”

He continues: “One of the laser’s many strengths is its unique ability to focus power into a very small area, which makes it the ultimate technology in metal cutting accuracy and quality. The Plus is the go-to laser cutting option when heavy engineering requires a quality finish and when fast processing speed is vital.”
