If you process large, thick plate, you need a Tanaka. Tanaka plate cutting lasers offer many advantages over traditional methods, take a look;
Benefits
Downstream Savings Over Plasma — In up to one inch plate Tanaka's square edges and tight dimensional accuracies eliminate or simplify skeleton removal, grinding, drilling, welding, and assembly.
Larger Beds Than Other Lasers — Tanaka's LMXII serves stationary beds 8 to 20 feet wide to process mill-size sheets of heavy metal
Unattended Operation — No other travelling-gantry system can cut up to 16 sheets, unattended, with no nozzle changes between sheets thicknesses
High Productivity — Typical Tanaka users achieve 70% efficiency in actual production. High-speed piercing, and low consumables contribute to this high rate.
Featuring:
Extended maintenance cycles —Improved beam delivery containment and longer lens cleaning intervals will cut downtime. Re-engineering of nozzle design, cutting head and machine platform has streamlined maintenance operations and improved overall performance.
Dramatically reduced labor costs —Automated set-up procedures and long-term unattended plate processing will free- up operators to perform other tasks.
Reduced operating costs —Electricity consumption has been reduced by 10% while laser gas consumption was cut by 50% in the TF6000.
