MC Machinery Systems, Inc. has introduced a new 2D laser machine. Replacing former LVP series, eX is the fifth generation in a line of 2D Mitsubishi lasers. The machine is designed to deliver low running costs and eco-friendly features for power and gas consumption and stable operation for up to 1.4 times greater productivity, the company said.

"The eco mode is designed to cut running costs by up to 90% during standby," said a company spokesperson. "Carbon dioxide emissions are reduced by around 30% compared to competitor machines. The machine's new design provides a small footprint without reducing table size. Standard on the eX is its magnetic head, which protects from catastrophic crashes and allows for easy recovery.

"A built-in control panel, window into the workpiece area and a barcode reader all make for easy operation. Other features include high-speed lens movement, a large work area, simple nesting with component thumbnails displayed on the screen, an email notification system and a faster processing head.

"Mitsubishi's patented 3-axis cross-flow resonator design delivers high cutting power per watt," said the spokesperson. "Mitsubishi's simplified resonator design eliminates the need for expensive quartz tubes and turbine blower systems, optimizes cutting power and requires 2-5 times less maintenance."

"Our eX series combines ease of operability, faster cutting, upgradeable automation and eco-friendly, cost-saving features," said National Product Manager Jeff Hahn. "It's a smart choice for small job shops or high volume production facilities."
