Flying Optics
Flying optics lasers feature a stationary table and a cutting head (with laser beam) that moves over the work piece in both of the horizontal
dimensions. Flying-optics cutters keep the workpiece stationary during processing, and often don't require material clamping. |
|
Laser Cutting Axis
Laser cutting Axis is the number of axes of motion a cutting machine is capable of cutting. 2-axis machines are used to cut flat sheet material while a 3-axis machine is used to cut three dimensional parts. Some 5-axis and 6-axis machines can perform laser cutting operations on parts that have been pre-formed by casting or machining. |
