Dry Cooling G3

Themes such as automation and faster implementation and production times are driving many companies to innovate and thus to bring advanced solutions to market.

The world of industrial and mechanical processing has been engaged in a small revolution in recent years, also in order to compete with countries where labor is cheap. Themes such as automation and faster implementation and production times are driving many companies to innovate and thus to bring advanced solutions to market.

Such is the case with a new laser cutting head line handled by MM Design studio for Salvagnini Italia, an Italian multinational group operating in the metalworking machine tools industry.

Laser cutting technology is increasingly widespread in industrial usage due to its operational flexibility and dynamics: the Salvagnini model generates a laser beam which is then transported via optical fiber to a laser head mounted on the machine, which modulates and automatically focuses the beam according to the thickness of the piece being cut. Thus it is one of the key components required in order to achieve the desired result of the quick and precision cutting of flat metal sheets that yield variously articulated shapes and pieces.

Salvagnini's new Dry Cooling G3 laser head is a focused ensemble of technologies, including a patented optical refrigeration system that works without gas or liquids, and a built in set of Multisense devices, sensors and electronic equipment to monitor and actively control events and phenomena occuring during the cutting process.

MM Design made very specific choices when designing the head that aimed at making operator interventions easier, such as that of the interface area. Moreover, every minute detail of the shape was given the utmost attention in order to make the head slender and fluid between the work area and the collimation area.

Finally, the special paint finishes ensure that the head is protected against burrs that may occur on sheet metal components.
