While power is undeniably tied to performance, motion dynamics that can keep up with it are crucial. Aside from wattage and acceleration parameters, it’s paramount to examine key machine components and make sure they’re designed to deliver high quality even at the highest speeds. A stable and accurate cutting head, a swift and lightweight traverse, linear motors on all axes, absolute linear encoders and swift pallet exchange are a must to exploit the machine’s full potential.
Potential buyers should consider the intuitiveness of a fiber laser’s control system. Features to look for in and optimal HMI are user-friendliness, enhanced process control and error prevention systems, easy access to files, data management and service requests. On the mechanical aspect, you want an ergonomic system that allows for easy access to internal components and a a clear line of sight between the cutting bed and the control panel.

Performance and usability work together to enhance efficiency, however a key factor when aiming for the highest productivity is process automation. High performing machines result in ultrafast cutting; therefore swift material handling is essential. You should pay attention to material loading, unloading and storage systems, scrap removal, comb cleaning, sheet measuring technology and sorting aids. Automation systems allow for unsupervised cutting during night shifts or weekends resulting in significantly higher productivity.
Eagle offers:
Performance will be of little use if you face frequent machine downtime caused by component malfunctions or constant maintenance. Pay attention to the quality of components, whether they’re made in-house or provided by external manufacturers and how reputable the latter are. A minimalistic approach to design is usually best since the less elements you have, the lower the chances of malfunction. Also, consider the manufacturer’s service and spare parts network, as well as warranty plans that ensure the proper functioning of your machine.

When implemented correctly, performance, usability, reliability, and productivity inevitably lead to high profitability. A machine that cuts more parts in less time, using less energy and consumables and can function 24/7, even unsupervised, reduces overall operational costs. This results in a lower cost per part, hence higher profit margins. Transitioning to advanced technology like fiber laser represents a significant step forward. Our commitment includes providing you with a realistic financial projection through our “Tower of Power” example.

The High Five of Automation
Our technology is the product of careful research, tests, and trials to improve all aspects of the cutting process. We offer solutions that range from ultrafast cutting and piercing to a more efficient use of gas, from increased cutting capabilities for thicker materials to higher edge-quality. Our proprietary software and cutting tech covers all of our clients’ needs.
Designed to reduce part cycle time by piercing “on the fly”, keeping constant speed on thin sheets.
Designed to improve cutting and piercing efficiency on thin to medium sheets by up to 30%.
Reduces burr by 90% on thick materials and can cut 20% higher thicknesses with the same power. It improves piercing and small contour cutting and increases thick sheet throughput by up to 50%.
By automatically switching between oxygen, nitrogen and a mix of both, it reduces burr and increases edge quality on thick materials.
Reduces gas consumption by up to 75% while improving edge quality and maintaining maximum cutting speeds.
