Features

Large capacity universal CO₂ laser for 2D and 3D cutting, plus tube, pipe and structural fabricating  

2-D mode is for flat sheet and plate up to 48” x 48” and 7/8” thick. Rapid traverse rates of 945 inches per minute (ipm) make for efficient and fast cutting.

3-D mode uses a compact cutting head with 360° rotation in the A-axis and 135° in the B-axis to maintain a normal cutting angle to preformed sculptured surfaces. A non-contact profiler maintains a constant stand-off distance and eliminates marring of the part. Space Gear can even design and build its own part locating fixtures.

Tubes, pipes, and structural shapes can all be processed with the CNC rotary chuck. Six axes of continuous CNC control allow the cutting of weld preps, angled features, and much more in a single setup.
