Excalibur Flexible Manufacturing Cell

Excalibur Flexible Manufacturing Cell Overview

The Excalibur Flexible Manufacturing Cell is a unique concept system from Laser Photonics, LLC. The Excalibur is the latest in lean manufacturing technology and offers a complete turnkey solution for manufacturers and production facilities. This new concept introduces the idea of using one Fiber Laser Module to control the tasks of up to four different machines with the use of one optical switch. The Excalibur is specifically designed for any manufacturer or production facility that performs applications which entail laser cutting, welding or remote welding and sheet cutting or marking. This concept is leading the way in helping manufacturers increase their production speed while lowering operating costs, floor space and initial capital spent on more expensive machines. The Excalibur is perfect in situations where robot training time is slowing down production and costing valuable time and money.

Though this flexible manufacturing cell can be custom built with different machines – most requests include a Titan FLS 48 and a Cobra FL welding robot. The Titan FLS 48 is Laser Photonics’ multipurpose fiber laser cutting machine. It is equipped with a high-powered, energy efficient fiber laser and an advanced direct drive motion control platform. Comparable to other machines, the Titan has a lighter weight design and the fastest cutting speed on the market for comparable systems. This system offers ultra low power consumption allowing for the lowest operating costs among all laser types. The Titan’s fully software-controlled geometry alignment eliminates the need for special installation requirements. The Titan requires no optical system alignment, laser service or laser replacement parts making this system virtually maintenance free.

The Cobra FLS robot is ideally suited to integration and automation for welding applications. Fiber lasers in the multi-kilowatt range offer dynamic material processing capabilities for manufacturers. These custom-built systems offer increased flexibility, reliability, and quality. Optimum return on investment is guaranteed with these fully programmable machines.
