Further information
The machine is fitted with linear motor shafts and rotating B and C axes with torque motors, which enables advanced 3D cutting and shaping with exceptional precision.
The modern The CNC system contains a high-performance green laser, a compact high-pressure pump with ultra-pure water unit, a 21.5-inch touchscreen for intuitive control and a vision system with motorised zoom to ensure careful monitoring and optimal control during processing.
Material capacity
The LCS 50-5 can machine a wide range of materials – from metals and ceramics to extremely hard and brittle materials:
-
Diamond material: Polycrystalline CBN (PcBN), polycrystalline diamond (PCD), monocrystalline diamond (MCD), CVD diamond, natural diamond (ND) and cemented carbide (WC).
-
Metals and alloys: Stainless steel, gold, Durnico, CuBe, copper, brass, aluminium, shape-memory alloys (Nitinol), titanium, nickel and various superalloys.
-
Ceramics and composites: Ceramic matrix composites (CMC), silicon carbide (SiC), silicon nitride (SiN), zirconia (ZrO₂), HTCC/LTCC, aluminium nitride (AlN) and aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃).
Processing options
As 5-axis machine the LCS 50-5 can perform 3D shaping, cutting, drilling, sawing, edge finishing (including K-land edges and single- or multi-angle free holes), groove milling, milling, engraving and turning. The combination of these processes makes the machine ideal for micro-machining and precision components in sectors such as tool manufacturing, electronics and the jewellery industry.
Key benefits
Precise and consistent machining
That cylindrical laser beam creates parallel cuts without a V-shape, which results in smooth surfaces and sharp edges with a surface finish as fine as Ra 0.15 μm. Thanks to that water-controlled cooling almost all thermal effects on the material are eliminated.
Fast and accurate performance
The machine is capable of finishing machining of 1.6 mm PCD and carbide at 5 mm/min, with a mechanical precision of ±3 μm and a cross-sectional width as low as 30 μm. This enables extremely precise detailing and highly efficient machining.
Simple and straightforward operation
The process results in clean surfaces without coatings or burrs and requires no or minimal finishing. Thanks to that long commute none is required focus adjustment or distance control, which makes operations both simple and reliable.
