Further information

The machine, with a working area of 300 × 300 mm, is equipped with linear motor axes for the highest possible precision and dynamics. The workpiece is clamped onto a T-slot table, and an optional B-axis can be fitted to allow flexible positioning of the workpiece at various angles – ideal for advanced machining tasks involving complex geometries.

The modern CNC system includes a high-performance green laser, a compact high-pressure pump with an ultra-pure water unit, a touchscreen control panel and a vision system with a motorised zoom for superior user control and precise monitoring.

In addition, the machine can be fitted with an automated offset calibration system that integrates laser nozzle adjustment, beam angle correction, power measurement and water jet stability control – further enhancing precision and process reliability.

Material capacity

The LCS 303 can process a wide range of materials, from metals to hard supermaterials and technical ceramics:

Diamond materials: polycrystalline CBN (PcBN), polycrystalline diamond (PCD), single-crystal diamond (SCD), CVD diamond, natural diamond and tungsten carbide (WC).
Metals and alloys: Stainless steel, Durnico, Phynox, CuBe, copper, brass, gold, aluminium, shape-memory alloys (Nitinol, cobalt–chromium), titanium, nickel and superalloys.
Ceramics and composites: silicon carbide (SiC), silicon nitride (SiN), ceramic matrix composites (CMC), CFRP, zirconia (ZrO₂), HTCC/LTCC, aluminium nitride (AlN) and aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃).

Processing options

The machine enables a wide range of 2D machining operations, such as cutting, drilling, sawing, slot milling, grooving, milling, engraving and profiling, making it a versatile tool for industrial applications requiring high precision.

Key benefits

Precise and consistent machining
The cylindrical laser beam produces parallel cuts without a V-shape, resulting in smooth surfaces and sharp edges with a surface roughness as low as Ra 0.15 μm. Thanks to the water-guided beam, heat affect on the material is almost completely eliminated.

Fast and accurate performance
The machine is capable of cutting 4 mm CVD diamond at a rate of 5 mm/min with a mechanical precision of ±5 μm and a cut width as narrow as 30 μm – ensuring fast, accurate and repeatable machining.

Simple and straightforward operation
The process produces clean, coating-free surfaces and requires little or no post-processing. Thanks to the long working distance, there is no need to adjust the focus, making the process both efficient and user-friendly.
