Laser Processing Machines

STX

2D fiber laser processing machine with table feed system

Laser oscillator power options of 2.0 kW and 3.0 kW for processing thin to medium thickness materials
Table feed system for minimum floor space and excellent table access
Various intelligent functions to automate setup work
Highly flexible automation system to save manpower

Space-saving, easy-to-operate machine design

Significant reduction in floor space

The table feed system of the STX series requires less than half the space of a standard flying optics type laser machine.

Flying optics type (table fixed type) and STX-3105

Excellent table access with the table drive system

The table feed system provides excellent accessibility and allows easy loading of material, not only for regular size worksheets, but also for remnant material, even for a single part. Unloading workpieces is also easy.

Enhanced torch for higher productivity in cutting thin to medium materials

Beam Diameter Control

The beam laser technology controls the beam diameter by moving the collimating lens up and down. By adjusting the beam to the optimum diameter for various materials and thicknesses, the cutting speed of thin materials and the degree of melting of thick materials can be improved and stabilized.

Optimum beam mode according to thickness and material

Auto Focus Positioning

The focal point is automatically adjusted to match the material by moving the focus lens up and down. Adjusting the optimal focus position between piercing and cutting enhances processing speed and productivity.

Intelligent functions to automate setup work

Intelligent Set-up Functions

STX series: standard equipment
STX CHAMPION series: optional, only Auto Nozzle Cleaning function is standard

By automating the setup and adjustment work that are required every time the plate thickness or material changes, productivity is improved, resulting in a reduction of approximately 59 minutes in working time compared to conventional laser processing machines.

Conventional laser processing machine
Set-up work by operator, approx. 60 min.
STX series
Automated setup work, approx. 1 min.

Example of reduced setup time

Conventional laser processing machine	STX series
Long in-process time due to many processes requiring operators	The variance in setup work and time between different operators is eliminated
(1) Operator determines cutting conditions by referring to the machining cutting data	(1) Optimum lens and nozzles are automatically determined by inputting thickness and materials using the cutting condition database
(2) Focal distance setting by the operator	(2) Automatic detection and setting of optimum focal distance
(3) Operator selects and replaces the optimum nozzle Operator cleans the nozzles	(3) Automatic replacement with optimized nozzles Automatic removal of cutting spatter from nozzles
(4) Operator adjusts gap calibration	(4) Automatic setting of profiling distance

Intelligent Monitoring Functions

STX series: standard equipment
STX CHAMPION series: optional, only Protective Window Sensor is standard

The system monitors the status of laser processing.
A sensor mounted on the laser processing head detects piercing and processing defects, such as burning and plasma.
If any defect is detected, the system correct the operations or temporarily pause them to achieve optimal processing.

Intelligent Cutting Functions

The system controls the laser to provide optimal sharp-angle high-quality cutting and high-efficiency processing, which were previously difficult with conventional techniques. By leveraging the accumulated technology and know-how of Mazak, optimal laser processing is performed.

Flexible automation systems to improve productivity

Flexible Mazak Laser FMS

You can add shelves and machines and expand the system after the initial installation.
It can also be connected to your existing Mazak laser processing machine.
The number of machines can be expanded up to four.

Higher productivity

Production processes can be managed through schedule operation, enabling progress tracking.
The conveyor system can handle materials with a thickness of 25 mm. It contributes greatly to productivity improvement by reducing loading and unloading time with cranes and by reducing heavy labor by workers.

Install new STX into the existing FMS system

The new STX model is designed to be interchangeable with the existing STX model that has been installed in the Mazak FMS system. The FMS system can be continued to be used as is.
