Laser cutting machine LC-F1 series from AMADA
When customer requirements are
implemented with innovative engineering
practical results are guaranteed. This
AMADA philosophy naturally applies also
to the F1 series laser cutting machines.
From technical functionality to the external
appearance – the laser cutting technology
of the F1 series is setting new standards.
■ High productivity, efficiency and flexibility
■ Extraordinary precision and speed
■ The highest reliability
■ Two construction sizes with 2500 W,
4000 W or 6000 W laser output
■ High operating comfort
■ Compact and powerful

Laser cutting which
is simply brilliant
Faster, more precise
and more efficient
Flexibility, manageability, efficiency and
reliability are the decisive requirements
which the F1 series from AMADA reliably
fulfils.
With clearly improved output parameters
and diverse technological innovations,
the new AMADA laser cutting machines
are convincing both economically and
ecologically.
The trendsetting AMADA-Engineering
guarantees optimal performance capability
– now and in the future.

Fundamental strengths –
no foundations required
Compact and all-around accessibility
Whoever wants to minimise setup times and
economically produce the best quality with
the highest precision can rely on AMADA
solutions.
Productivity, manufacturing quality and
secure processes begin with the F1 Series
Laser cutting systems at the cast bed.
The vibration-resistant design with its low
rate of twist is the basis for the highest
precision, which makes a foundation
superfluous.
The low construction height and the low
centre of gravity effectively relieve the
machine body of static and dynamic
stresses and permanently guarantee high
manufacturing accuracy.
An "open safety cabin concept" ensures
optimal accessibility. The F1 series systems
can be opened to provide easy access to
the cutting head and also full length.
Simply perfect for maintenance work, easier
"set-up" on the machine or also for special
tasks.

The F1 series offers the highest degree of
flexibility in manufacturing, for an efficient
material flow at all times. Whether in flow
production or stand-alone operation, the
layout of the machine arrangement can be
adapted and varied.
Standard set-up – pallet changer on the right side,
resonator behind the machine
Option – pallet changer on the left side, resonator
behind the machine
Option – pallet changer on the left side, resonator
in the machine extension, right
The left or right side installation of the pallet
changer exactly follows the circumstances
and requirements of the respective user.
Additional loading and unloading modules
can be used to repeatedly increase the
degree of automation
The pallet changer can
be positioned on both sides.
A benefit: Shorter ways when
operating several machines.

High speed with
3-axial linear drive
Dynamic precision – even
on small shapes
Whoever wants to produce efficiently,
error-free and at short cycle times
requires machines with drive systems
suited for performance, which guarantee
the highest positioning accuracy even
with extreme acceleration forces.
The AMADA F1 laser cutting machines
fulfil these requirements with new high
output processors, the fastest control
technology and linear drive on all three
major axes. The drives are attached to
the side of the machine frame with low
vibration, easy accessibility and secure
protection against possible cutting dust.
The high dynamics of the drives,
paired with a significantly faster
control technology ensure:
■ Exact positioning
■ Highly precise cutting results
■ Outstanding cutting quality
■ The highest contour accuracy
■ Optimal product quality

Laser output
The 64-fold faster measuring cycles enable higher cutting
quality, especially in corners or complex geometries.

At the speed of light
through thick and thin
Perfect performance for
every geometry
Excellent fitted laser power with 2500 W,
4000 W or 6000 W ensures the perfect cut.
It guarantees – even for extreme cutting
speeds – a reliable cutting process and
high quality.
The resonators were especially adapted
to the requirements of the F1 series. This
guarantees superior performance for all
cuttable material types and thicknesses.

the F1 in 12 mm stainless steel

Universal benefits in focus
Perfect consistency of
laser and machine
In order that high-speed cutting really
succeeds perfectly, AMADA has "tuned" the
interplay between controls, machine and
the laser device.
AMADA "Laser-Tuning" means:
■ Perfect co-ordination of laser and
machine
■ Maximum piercing and cutting speed
■ Maximum cutting quality
■ Maximum availability
Two adaptive optics for beam compensation
and beam optimisation allow for the usage
of only one focal length without any lens
change.
This technology guarantees continuous
productivity, above all in automatic
operation.
Active cutting monitoring
The sensors in the cutting head permanently
monitor the cutting process. High process
availability, long-term stable cutting results
and clearly increased productivity result
from this.
■ Sensor-controlled pierce monitoring
■ Automatic plasma detection
■ Reliable material burn detection
■ Restart function

the cutting of thick and ... ... thin sheets

A solution for every task
Comprehensive machine equipment
for individual productivity
Whoever is looking for machines with an
excellent cost-benefit ratio must often be
satisfied with compromises. This isn't the
case with the F1 Laser cutting machine
series. Practice-oriented equipment at the
highest level is standard at AMADA – and
the desired individualism is made possible.
Optional equipment
■ Automatic nozzle changer
For non-stop production even with
varying materials and sheet thicknesses.
On the basis of the cutting data library,
the nozzles are replaced automatically
and without any manual intervention.
■ OVS IV
Optimal measurement system for
combined manufacturing. A CCD
camera, directly beside the cutting head
enables a precise detection of cuttings or
individual parts for the laser process.
■ Roller bearing
positioning support in the pallet changer
for the manual setup of sheets.
■ Conveyer belt
Suited for the disposal of slag and for the
fast and secure take out of small parts.
Standard equipment
■ Cutting head HS
With fast lens and nozzle change system.
The highest sampling rates ensure the
best cutting stability here.
■ CoolingCut
Effective cooling directly in the cutting
area. Thanks to the dosed water spray
with corrosion protection add-on, brought
in by ring jets, higher part output with
better quality is achieved.
■ OilShot
Oil spray function - no slag sticks to the
material.
■ NC Focus
Adjusts the focal point automatically to
every material and material thickness
based on the cutting data library.
■ AutoGas
Regulates the gas pressure automatically
for every task with the aid of the cutting
data library.
