• All I/O controlled in microsecond time scale
• Enables unparalleled cut speed, precision and accuracy

High Dynamic Acceleration Profiles

• Built for extremely high acceleration, deceleration dynamic motion profiles
• Allow for moving through intricate and sharp geometry quickly
• Rotary options for peak velocities up to 3,000 RPM
• Resulting in cycle times reductions while maintaining tight profiling characteristics.

Full Modular Tooling Array

• Flexible enough for rapid prototyping, robust enough for high-volume production
• All tooling hardware built with 3-5axis of fine adjust with locking
• Part and Tooling change-overs in as little as 2-3 min
• Precision Regrip Module, m-code controlled regrip to less than 0.0005" positional error

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.

  • Part Holding Options

    Precision bushings, adjustable v-block guides and micro tube handling, we offer options to cover your needs in addition to offering a threaded array for customer specific fixturing

  • Reliability

    Designed for both high-speed part and tooling change-overs. In addition, Built for reliability in a rigorous production environment. Ability to lock each and every slice in position allows for a seamless production process.
