Precision Engineering
Full Tooling Modularity and Flexibilty
Our Patent-Pending Modular Tooling Platform streamlines the tool change process for laser tube cutting. Change tooling/tube sizes and be up and cutting in as little as 2 minutes. Each tooling slice can be independently removed and swapped with various options. These tooling options can be purchased at the time of the workstation order, purchased at a later date, or swapped between machines on your floor.
-
5-Axis Fine Adjust
5 full axes of precision control at your fingertips via fine adjustment screws. X,Y,Z and full Tip Tilt ensure your tube is always aligned precisely where you need it.
-
Precision Regrip
Execute precision automated regrip operations via our M-code controlled positioner. Precisely execute regrips with less than 0.0005" positional error. Typical Regrip times are performed in under 1 second
-
Quick Change-Over
The worlds first true standardized modular tooling platform tailored for the Medical Device Industry. Change over tube sizes in 2-3 minutes.
-
Modularity
Designed to be modular and built to be flexible for your specific needs. We will walk through each option with you to build you a specific tooling array suited for your exact needs. Tooling slices can be hot swapped and changed over at any time in just a few minutes.
