Nutec Components' 6-axis laser micro-machining center.

Typically used for surgical tools, the 6-axis laser micro-machining center is designed for laser cutting small-diameter parts in complex configurations.

An entirely servo-controlled translation axes architecture achieves constant velocity and cutting conditions throughout a range of operating conditions, enabling 24/7 operations. The granite-structure-based motion subsystem offers long-term stability and precision.

A 300W, high-stability, SPI fiber laser is integrated and delivered by fine kerf optics, operating in CDRH Class 1 mode.

The machine is equipped with an automated access door, light curtain, and high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtered exhaust system for gas and debris removal. An automated location gaging system enables fast loading by an operator or robot.

Machine operation is based on a Windows-based CNC digital servo control with G&M-code RS-274 capability nuFace with operator and engineering mode for continuous machine control and monitoring functions.

Typical applications for the laser micro-machining center include laser-cutting bio-medical parts in the 1mm to 8mm diameter range with domed ends requiring spherical cuts, toothed designs, oblique contours, and relief angles to create sharp edges.
