Precision Laser Cutting with Robotic Automation

Showcase of Innovation
Thanks to CNC Solutions for sharing an exciting demonstration from the STÄUBLI Robotics Laser TechDays. The video highlights the use of a six-axis industrial robot, equipped with a FiberCUT laser head, expertly handling a fiber-laser cutting operation. The process involved a flat rectangular metal plate securely clamped in a precision vise, showcasing the advanced capabilities of ENCY Robot in achieving precise 2D and 5D cutting.

Robotic Automation in Action
As seen in the demonstration, the setup includes a Stäubli-branded automation cell with engineers examining the control stations and robot enclosures. This setup is optimal for job shops looking to enhance their cutting operations with robotic precision. The CNC laser-cutting head displayed superior performance, generating sparks as it seamlessly cut apertures into metal sheets.

Precision and Practical Application
The end product, a curved stainless-steel tube with precise circular openings, underscores the effectiveness of combining ENCY Robot with laser cutting technology. This integration offers job shops a valuable tool for achieving high-quality finishes and complex geometries in their projects.
