High-Precision Laser Cutting System

The LCS 50 is Synova’s most compact and cost-efficient Laser MicroJet® (LMJ) machine. The LCS 50 is designed for machining industrial diamond tools and other small work pieces that require precision cutting, drill- ling, grooving or slicing.
The machine uses linear motor axes (LCS 50-3) and additional B and C rotary axes with torque motors enabling 3D cutting and shaping (LCS 50-5).
The state-of-the-art CNC machine system includes a high-power green laser, a compact high-pressure water pump with an ultra-pure water unit, a 13-inch touch-screen control panel and a vision system with the motorized zoom.

Synova Laser MicroJet® Technology

The Laser MicroJet is a hybrid method of machining, which combines a laser with a “hair-thin” water jet that precisely guides the laser beam by means of total internal reflection in a manner similar to conventional optical fibers. The water jet continually cools the cutting zone and efficiently removes debris.
As a “cold, clean and controlled laser”, Synova’s LMJ technology resolves the significant problems associated with dry lasers such as thermal damage, debris deposition, taper and lack of accuracy.

KEY BENIFITS

SHARP ADN SMOOTH

  • Cylindrical beam resulting in parallel kerfs (no V-shape)
  • Smooth cutting surfaces and sharp edges (Ra as low as 0.15 μm)
  • Virtually no heat impact thanks to water jet cooling capability

Fast and Accurate

  • Finnish cutting of 1.6 mm PCD and cemented carbide in 5 mm/min.
  • High mechanical precision with a tolerance of +/- 3 μm
  • Very small kerf width (down to 30 μm)

CLEAN AND EASY

  • Clean surfaces and no depositions
  • No or very little post treatment required
  • No focus control necessary due to long working distance
