CNC Laser Drilling

VLD-300, a small, vertical, Nd:YAG laser drilling machine is for 12" cube parts (300mm x 300mm x 300mm). The VLD- 300 offers positioning accuracy and repeatability in the X, Y, and Z-axis of 0.00004" (0.001mm); A-axis positioning accuracy of ±6 arc seconds and repeatability of ±3 arc seconds; C-axis accuracy of ±4 arc seconds and repeatability of ±2 arc seconds; X, Y, and Z-axis cutting feedrate of 0.004" ~ 787" (0.1mm ~ 20,000mm); and X, Y, and Z axis acceleration rate of 1.5g.

Mitsui Seiki partnered with a European laser company for the Nd:YAG version of this new machine. The VLD-300 is designed to also work with CO2, diode pump, and fiber lasers for different aerospace and other industry applications, such as certain electronics, medical, and automotive parts.

For rigidity and stability, the VLD-300 has a cast iron bed and linear motor drives. A dust collection system, combined with an interior work area of smooth, highly sloped surfaces, keeps cutting debris from contaminating the work zone and equipment. The Nd:YAG system offers a focal length of 200mm or 300mm with a height sensor for scanning and work offset probing. The machine is "automation ready" for devices such as pallets and robotic loading/unloading equipment. A Fanuc 310iM control features the Windows-based platform and seamlessly controls the machine, laser, and the auxiliary equipment.
