RX, the 3D laser cutting kit
RX is a high-precision high-flexibility laser cutting kit; optical connection with articulated arm allows optimizing robot and laser in specific applications.
It is realized by coupling a robot with a CO2 laser source, through a 7-mirror articulated optical arm, which guarantees perfect transfer of laser power to the cutting head, mounted on the wrist of the robot itself. The system is available for the dressing of ABB and FANUC robots.
It is the system chosen by the most important companies of the sector for cutting the cold-storage rooms.

Configuration of the RX kit
RX has different configuration possibilities that make use of ABB and FANUC robots with 1.45 m and 2.0 m of boom extension, each of which can be coupled with El.En sources from 88W up to 1200W, all with RF technologies.
Two possible kinds of configuration: with cutting head and galvanometric scanning head. The last one is very interesting because it allows reducing cutting times, since the robot is used only to get nearer the cutting area. In this case, cutting is carried out taking advantage of the movement of the mirrors placed on the scanning head, which is much higher than the mechanic displacement of the robot.
The RX highlights:
- Reduced maintenance (8 hours per year)
- Limited machine downtime for maintenance
- Booth does not need soundproofing
- Simplified assembly
- No mechanic contact with tools
- High execution speed
- High efficiency
- No need for additional processing
- Limited operating costs

Technical characteristics
RX is a product designed for the finishing, by 3D cutting, of plastic components, thermoformed, stamped or blown products, and composite materials. Cutting is carried out without any burr or carbonization traces, even on materials such as carpets and similar.
Compared to other methods, the RX laser robot has a high competitivity on the finishing of car interior components, or refrigerator and freezer internal parts, bikers’ helmets.

Software for RX
A graphic and operating software with specific Corel Draw graphic engine for the realization of files and for the entire system functioning. For each work, it is possible to assign geometric parameters, processing parameters and set any drawing repetitions or compositions, in case the system is equipped with automatic table.
A machine management software that can open various formats such as PLT, BMP, etc. Engraving allows setting speed and power parameters, and creating processing lists.
