Fibre laser cutting

PRODUCT REVIEWS

Hymson ’ s new HF3015 IT fibre-laser cutting system was highlighted at the EuroBLECH sheet-metal exhibition in Hanover recently .
“ The key components of the system are entirely made in Italy ( from numerical control to motors , servomotors and drives including software and Industry- 4.0 interface ),” Hymson told ISMR . “ The numerical control system has been developed by Italian manufacturer , ESA . It communicates with Hymson Italydeveloped software .”
An automatic nozzle-change option caters for frequent changes of materials or material thicknesses . Automatic nozzle centring capability is designed to eliminate possible inaccuracies and significantly reduce faults , scrap levels and emergency operations . Laser powers for this model range from 1500kW to 12kW ( with further powers of 15kw and 20kW possible ).
“ The system also features a fiveaxis bevelling head for flat sheet-metal processing and automatic CNC loading and unloading systems . The modular design of our laser machines responds to market demands for customisation ,” added Hymson .
The laser specialist has five production sites worldwide , four R & D centres and over forty overseas partners . n

Metallic bipolar plate line

From 4-5 October 2022 , the German Fuel Cell Cooperation ( GFC ) showcased “ a highly productive production line ” for metallic bipolar plates to the public for the first time at the Hydrogen + Fuel Cells Europe 2022 event in Hanover , Germany .
By combining their respective competencies , the three companies — Von Ardenne ( Dresden ), Weil Technology ( Müllheim ) and Zeltwanger ( Tübingen )— as partners in the GFC , offer manufacturers of fuel-cell systems and electrolysers expertise for the efficient production of metallic bipolar plates .
The three equipment providers combine their respective expertise along the entire process chain to support the production of fuel-cell systems and electrolysers . They bring decades of experience from their core business and combine this to form one seamless process .
Von Ardenne provides its expertise in the development and production of vacuum coating systems , which are used to functionalise the surfaces of metal strip ( pre-coating ) or bipolar plate ( post-coating ). Weil Technology is available as an experienced
Fuel-cell stack .
partner with its knowledge of laser cutting and laser welding of metal bipolar plates . Zeltwanger ’ s expertise in automated assembly and testing processes , leak testing and laser applications is useful at various points along the production chain .
“ The concept of a fully coordinated production line plays a pioneering role in the market . With an annual production capacity of several million bipolar plates , it serves the current needs of the industry ,” they told ISMR . n
