Better cutting results and protection for personnel and environment

Despite all the benefits offered by laser processing, there are still some emissions arising from the thermal processes that need to be extracted safely and if necessary filtered. However, the relevance of an application-related extraction solution is all too often underestimated. eurolaser would like to look more closely at this topic for the users and summarise the relevant aspects, not only with a view to process reliability but also for reasons of safety at work and environmental protection.

Special extraction technology has an impact on

* Cutting quality
* Cutting speed
* Material positioning
* Safety at work
* Questions of environmental protection

In order to provide the best possible extraction concepts for our users, eurolaser works closely with several specialist partners. This has resulted in the creation of application-oriented solutions that focus on all individual requirements:

* Extraction concept EU
* Extraction and filter concept EFU with multistage emission filtering
* Extraction and filter concept EFC with multistage comfort emission filtering

The extraction concepts ensure consistent extraction and filtering performance. They take into consideration the laser power used, the processing surface including table concept, processing speed and choice of materials to ensure the users are offered the best possible coordination.

Options that pay off!

ATLANTA Drive Systems, Inc. offers a complete range of Zero-Backlash Rack & Pinion Drive Systems that eliminate all axis backlash, providing ultra-precise positioning and repeatability. Positioning accuracy is maintained during acceleration and deceleration, as well as during changes in direction of travel.

The axis backlash is eliminated by using two pinions – one to drive the axis and the other to engage the opposite tooth flank and take up the backlash. Mechanically preloaded systems utilize a split-pinion, which consists of two pinion halves and an axial preload pack. The pinions halves mesh with opposite tooth flanks on the same rack. The preload setting is fully adjustable on the machine by turning the axial spring pack at the end of the pinion shaft.

Electrically preloaded systems utilize two motor/reducer assemblies with dual pinions operating on the same rack in a master/slave setup. One pinion drives the axis (the “master”) while the second pinion is “preloaded” to remove the backlash (the “slave”). The preload is created electronically with a special motor controller; these systems can also be set up to drive together during cycle times when backlash is not critical.

These drives are perfect for a wide range of applications, including traveling gantries & columns, milling machines, and material feel axis drives. Industries served include Material Handling, Automation, Aerospace, Woodworking, Machine Tool and Robotics.
