4. Laser automation adds flexibility and capacity.

The seminar included a breakfast buffet and a one-hour presentation which comprised of big-screen visuals as well as a Q & A session.

5. 3D laser-cutting meets the needs of growing structural steel utilization.

 

Mazak also spoke about the benefits of their 2D and 3D Lasers.  Many of Mazak’s 2D designs integrate intelligent functions that automate the setup of the machine, reducing operator dependency and facilitating the use of automated material handling solutions. The development of 3D laser cutting machines has significantly reduced the processing time for many applications cut with traditional technologies. The extensive range of capabilities makes these machines ideal for many industries and applications.
