PRODUCT REVIEWS
The new large-format Phoenix FL-6525 laser cutting system .
Cutting , bending and software solutions
LVD will be addressing the challenges of metal fabrication with new laser cutting , automated bending and software integration solutions at Blechexpo in Stuttgart , Germany ( 7-10 November 2023 ). On its stand 1808 in Hall 1 , it will be introducing the new large-format , Phoenix FL-6525 laser cutting machine with bevel cutting head , a new automated bending solution and new CADMAN ® -FLOW software for optimised process flow .
“ Phoenix FL is our flexible , all-round laser cutting system . The new Phoenix FL-6525 offers top-of-the-line versatility and capacity with a large cutting range up to 6510 x 2600mm and a bevel cutting option . Its large-format configuration makes cutting oversized sheets easy and efficient while high dynamics ensure consistently high-quality cutting results for thin to thick
materials . The bevel cutting head provides precise control of the angle and depth of the bevel to cut intricate contours or for weld-prep operations ,” explained sheet-metal specialist , LVD .
Phoenix FL-6525 is available with 6- , 10- , 12- or 20kW laser power . The bevel cutting option is available for 10- and 12kW systems . The Phoenix FL-6525 at Blechexpo will feature a 12kW laser source with bevel head .
Making its debut at Blechexpo in Stuttgart will be a new automated bending solution from LVD . It is designed to address various industrial applications including the production of cabinet components ; architectural components ; shelving systems ; steel furniture ; elevators ; clean rooms and fire doors .
LVD ’ s new CADMAN-FLOW is designed to “ empower the smart factory .”
CADMAN-FLOW is a single point of entry to LVD ’ s complete software suite : software for Smart Drawing Importing ; laser cutting ; punching ; bending ; robotic bending and Manufacturing Execution Systems ( MES ).
“ Via one entry , users can import and verify parts and assemblies ; create smarter CAM programs ; import production orders ; reduce tooling set-ups and retrieve production information from the touch controls . This improves the speed and flexibility of the process flow from a 3D file to machine code and final product ,” outlined LVD .
At the core of CADMAN-FLOW is the new CADMAN-B v9 , the next generation of LVD ’ s CAM software .
“ CADMAN-B v9 calculates bending solutions faster and more efficiently than ever before , even optimising and reducing tool changes to maximize throughput ,” concluded LVD .
