Laser Processing
Laser processing is a precise and flexible technology used to cut, weld, engrave, and shape materials with focused laser beams. It delivers high-quality finishes and fine details on both metals and non-metals. By directing a powerful laser through optical systems, materials are melted, burned or vaporized to form the desired shape. Laser welding creates strong, accurate joints with minimal distortion. As a key method for producing complex geometries, laser processing plays a vital role in modern manufacturing.

Accessoiries & Software for Laser Processing
Maximise the potential of your laser processing operations with our specialised accessories and
advanced software solutions. Designed to complement and enhance your output, these tools ensure
greater precision, efficiency, and ease of use.
Ultra-fast fly-cutting laser applications
FANUC’s high-speed serial servo bus (FSSB) synchronises laser commands with the axis controller in real time, enabling ultra-fast fly-cutting operations.
Specialised laser commands
The FANUC CNC software has a comprehensive set of laser commands and spcialised diagnostic tools. The CNC’s powerful software features shorten cycle time and simplify machining processes
Laser Gap Control
If laser cutting machines are equipped with a sensor that measures the distance
between the nozzle and the workpiece surface, our gap control function can transmit the sensor’s signal to the CNC via a special interface. This allows precise Z-axis control, enhancing cutting accuracy and optimizing the gap.
Automatic gap control during axis retraction
This automatic gap control function allows retraction along the gap control axis while positioning from one cut point to the next on the X/Y axis. It also allows machining along the gap control axis while moving to the next cut point, without stopping the gap control mode. This ensures a seamless transition to the next cutting phase and significantly reduces machining time.
Power Control
This function adapts the laser power to the cutting process by controlling the laser power, frequency and duty cycle in real time. In other words, the laser power and axis feed are synchronised. This prevents burning and overheating, even when cutting very narrow angles at high speed. This enables stable, high-quality laser cutting, even with challenging cutting geometries.
Edge Cutting Function
This function enables sharper edges and reduces cycle times, especially with thicker materials, by detecting sharp angles in the cutting path and automatically adjusting the cutting speed and conditions. In addition to better cut surfaces, this feature also increases throughput and machine performance.
Setting Function for Cutting Conditions
Our cutting condition setting function stores your machining parameters, such as laser power, frequency and duty cycle, in an E-code command table. This creates a clear programme structure for your parts and simplifies procedures, saving time on repetitive jobs.
Laser Monitoring
This CNC function allows the operator to monitor the laser status via a dedicated
screen. It provides consistent performance from the laser oscillator and increases machine productivity. In addition, the operator can intervene in the event of problems and prevent damage to the oscillator.
Galvano Scanner
Take your CNC laser machining to the next level with our Galvano Scanner. Seamlessly integrated and offering on-the-fly processing, it is easy to program and delivers the highest speed and precision for complex designs and high-volume production.
