LASER TUBE CUTTING SYSTEM

AltaMAR will introduce the new LT2410 laser tube cutting system. The LT2410 has increased speed and automation when compared to the company’s existing model LT2400.

New features include automatic changeover for tube size, higher speed and acceleration in all axes, fast twist and bow compensation, and enhanced control and programming features. A magazine feed comes standard for short to medium runs. An optional bundle feed is available for long runs. Both feeds can be used on the same machine for flexibility.

WELD HEADS

AMI offers model 21 weld heads for fusion welding. Used with the company’s model 207 power supply, the weld heads provide high clamping and alignment performance, the manufacturer states.

Automated clamping combined with tube centering and alignment verification help lower setup time and increase productivity. Foot pedal operation reduces cycle times.

The compact heads are suitable for restricted-clearance applications. They are available in two models: M21-500 (0.125 to 0.5 in. OD) and M21-1000 (0.25 to 1 in. OD).
