A new range of flat-bed fibre laser cutting machines from Nukon Lasers UK is making high-quality, high-performance laser cutting accessible to even more subcontractors and manufacturers wanting to laser-cut in-house.
Called the Nukon Cross Series, the new machines have been designed with a strong focus on productivity. They provide powerful 2D flat sheet metal cutting capability and are available with bed sizes of 3 m x 1.5 m, 4 m x 2 m, and 6 m x 2 m. Depending on requirement, they can be specified with power options from as little as 2 kW, right up to 30 kW for the most challenging of laser-cutting applications.
High-spec optional features are equally impressive. Depending on model, buyers can choose from state-of-the-art American-made nLIGHT fibre lasers or robust Raycus fibre lasers. Advanced Lantek Expert CAD/CAM nesting software can also be specified, as can CutLine programmable beam-shaping technology (for nLIGHT models).
Other options include automatic nozzle cleaning, cut detection, piercing sensing, and automatic nozzle changing – all technologies to help ensure businesses are competitive in today’s commercial environment. Cross Series machines have also been designed to integrate with the full range of Nukon automation systems, for huge productivity benefits with minimal manning levels.
The accessible, high-quality European-built alternative
“Through the new Cross Series, we are making high-quality, highly reliable European-built Nukon fibre laser cutting machines accessible to even more UK manufacturers and subcontractors – all with uncompromising levels of aftersales support from the Nukon Lasers UK team,” says Nukon Lasers
UK’s sales director, Steve Haddrell. “The Cross shares the DNA of the massively popular NF Pro model it replaces, but has been designed to take the next step, offering blistering performance and efficient design, at a highly accessible price point.
“Nukon has always taken pride in building exceptional quality 2D, 3D and tube fibre laser machines at prices which compare extremely favourably to other European brands,” continues Steve Haddrell. “In launching the new Cross Series, Nukon is providing a genuine high-quality alternative for organisations that may otherwise consider looking further afield for an affordable laser-cutting machine. Cross Series machines may be more price-accessible than other models in the Nukon range, but they are built to the same exacting standards and will easily exceed the requirements of many subcontractors and in-house manufacturing centres. Depending on workflow, in reduced outsourcing costs alone, a Nukon Cross Series machine should typically pay for itself over a couple of years, but will work reliably in your business for many, many more.”
