5-Axis Laser Machining System

Brief

The customer required a robust multi-purpose laser workstation capable of micron-level placement and high throughput. Our scope included concept architecture, motion/optics layout, thermal/mechanical analysis, full 3D CAD, build documentation and site commissioning support.

• • Working envelope: 800 × 500 × 300 mm
• • Rotary A/B for compound angles up to ±45°
• • Fiber laser integration with galvo scan head
• • Granite base + air isolators for stability
• • Vision camera for fiducial pick-up & closed-loop offset
• • Interlocked Class-1 enclosure, light-tight & fume extraction

Engineering Highlights

• Motion stack: Cross-roller linear stages on a metrology-grade granite frame. Precision ballscrew on Z with counterbalance and tool length probe.
• Optics path: Modular beam delivery with sealed bellows, fold mirrors and safety shutters; coaxial vision for on-part registration.
• Fixturing: Kinematic nests with pneumatic clamps; palletised to reduce changeover time < 60 s.
• Controls: CNC controller with PLC safety; recipes, barcode traceability and MES hooks.
• Process capability: Positional accuracy < ±25 µm (3σ) over full field; burr-free edges on CFRP and thin-gauge metals.
