Salvagnini expands its product range with the L3-6020, the new laser cutting system for large formats.

The Salvagnini Group designs, builds and sells flexible systems and machines for processing sheet metal: punching machines, panel benders, press-brakes, fiber laser cutting machines, FMS lines, automatic store-towers and software.

The new laser cutting system - L3-6020 is able to process sheet metal of a maximum length of 6096 mm and maximum width of 2032 mm, while retaining the features of the smaller L3 models: high speed and great flexibility over an extremely wide range of materials and hicknesses.

Salvagnini’s patented load-bearing beam principle with lightened airplane manipulator has been revised and implemented in this new model as well, guaranteeing an extremely rigid structure with even greater stability, without compromising speed and precise, easy positioning.

Key factors in the management of such a large machine, such as operator ergonomics and ease of accessibility, are also guaranteed. The six sliding doors on the long side provide easy access to the working area, while the large windows, approved for safe use with solid-state lasers, along with the position of the new control console, offer maximum visibility of the cutting area.

Salvagnini has also paid particular attention to the new electrical pallet changeover (CPE) system: a fast, high-performance system, regardless of the size and weight of the sheet, it has been designed to minimise the risk of issues while transferring the machined material below the raw one.

The result of Salvagnini’s extensive experience in the fiber laser field, the L3-6020 is equipped with a single optics head that provides high-quality cutting across the whole range of workable thicknesses, assuring rapid production changes, thus eliminating adjustment times. The company’s patented ‘Dry Cooling’ technology involves cooling the optics without the use of gas or liquids, and offers real-time control of the lens temperature.

The L3 is also equipped with two native cutting functions, standard and PowerCut, that allows to choose the operating mode best suited to the different production requirements. Standard mode guarantees greater safety in unmanned manufacturing, while PowerCut offers reactivity and greater operational speed. Both can be easily activated using a toggle switch.

The L3-6020 is a productive and versatile solution, with reduced power consumption and competitive operating costs, and is able to process the largest parts while offering significant design advantages.
