Overview
Built to stay stable on thick plate
The MSF Initio is a fiber laser cutting machine for demanding industrial work. Its solid construction keeps it stable when cutting thick plate, including bevels for weld preparation. Cast iron plates, graphite surfaces and high-alumina refractory materials protect the structure from heat, which prevents burning and thermal deformation.
The bevel cutting tool station is built for high dynamics and repeatable work under heavy loads. It cuts at angles from +45° to -45° and covers positive and reverse V, positive and reverse Y, X and K bevels. The cutting head monitors focus position and beam quality with integrated sensors.
MicroStep's patented ACTG auto-calibration of torch geometry adds correction movements to the X, Y and Z axes to improve bevel accuracy. The capsule has its own drives, so the gantry runs at full speed and precision, with up to 100 m/min positioning speed, 1G acceleration and 0.05 mm repeatability.
Applications
