The ideal combination: cutting and fiber laser cutting

The trend in manufacturing is to make components that are lighter in weight, use less material, conserve resources and integrate functionality. As such, customers are working with thinner sheet structures. Boschert has expanded its successful “Combi” series of machines to include fiber laser. In close cooperation with our partner, Kjellberg Finsterwalde, Boschert has added the Kjellberg Xfocus fiber laser to its CNC punching line. The CombiLaser series is available with working ranges from 1000 x 2000mm to 1500 x 3000mm. Now customers can produce complex parts on a single machine without repositioning.

Flexibility at its finest.
The Boschert CombiLaser combines the advantages of high quality laser cutting with the unique features of CNC punching. In the past, complex contours could only be cut on a flat sheet laser. Operations such as forming, beading, trimming and threading required a separate CNC punch.

Now Boschert introduces the CombiLaser, combining the best qualities of both operations. Boschert’s fiber laser system can be mounted to any of Boschert’s standard line of CNC punching machines, which allows the customer to purchase the machine that best matches their requirements.

Fiber Laser
Fiber lasers belong to the group of solid-state lasers. The doped core of a glass fiber forms the active medium in a fiber laser. The laser radiation which is passed through the laser-active fiber, due to the large length experiences a very high gain. With a wavelength of 1,070 nm fiber lasers achieve an extremely small focal diameters, reducing their intensity may be up to 100 times higher than for CO2 lasers with the same medium dispensed power. Fiber lasers are basically maintenance-free and are characterised by their long service life.

Programmable disposal of small parts:
Small components and parts cut on the fiber laser can be quickly ejected from the working surface via a small parts chute. Arranged in front of the fiber laser, the small parts chute tilts 30 ° and is operated by pneumatic cylinders. Two chutes sizes are capable of work pieces up to 150×150 mm and 700×700 mm are standard on the CombiLaser.

Safety & Security
Boschert has developed a security concept for the fiber laser in cooperation with the BG professional association. Optionally the machine can be also equipped with a sight protection device.
