FA New product: LASER SCANNER LS3Di-A

FANUC released new product of LASER SCANNER LS3Di-A as a single unit. LASER SCANNER LS3Di-A is designed as 3D galvano-type, and is developed based on FANUC servo motor control technology.

The LASER SCANNER LS3Di-A can focus laser beams in a wide irradiation range from a long distance, and can scan various shapes. This scanner finely oscillates X and Y axis mirrors that reflect laser beams with a two-axis motor by feeding back at high speed, and accurately irradiates laser beams in a range of 300mm × 300mm. In addition, the positioning of the focusing lens is controlled with a motor which vertically adjusts the laser focal point with a span of ±100mm. Not only 2D but also 3D laser processing is possible. This scanner can be used applied in a wide range of applications including laser welding of metal, cutting of metal foil or non-metal thin plates, and heating or removing of coatings.

With the high-speed control of the laser scanner controller LSCi-A, scanning of laser focal points can be commanded with G code commands to specify the X, Y, Z coordinates and many CNC functions can be used simultaneously. For example, the processing commands for consecutive circular motion simplifies wobbling and weaving processing. The LSCi-A is equipped with two-channel laser output control, and supports the ring mode laser that changes the laser beam mode at the focal point. It also has a port for connecting measurement monitoring equipment that can detect welding point.

LS3Di-A

By installing LS3Di-A on the remote welding robot, optimal processing systems can be built up for the welding application of large workpieces which exceed the irradiation range, and the continuous precision welding application of precise workpieces also. The offline simulator ROBOGUIDE can be used to generate programs for both robots and scanners simultaneously, so that the robot and scanner can coordinate their motions for laser machining.

The LASER SCANNER LS3Di-A can be applied for various applications, and contributed for reducing cycle time and streamlining production line processes.
