Recently, Aerotech Inc., a global leader in precision motion control and automation, launched the ultimate cylindrical laser machining motion platform LaserTurn160. LaserTurn160 is designed for unparalleled precision and efficiency, with a 40% increase in production capacity compared to similar systems, setting a new standard for medical device manufacturing.

 



Extremely high efficiency, unparalleled precision
LaserTurn160 has been optimized for high dynamic performance, providing precise motion trajectories to ensure consistent and high-quality manufacturing results. Its multifunctional features can meet the unique requirements of medical device production, stent cutting, catheter manufacturing, guidewire manufacturing, and other applications.

Unparalleled performance
The direct drive motor and cross roller bearings of LaserTurn160 ensure ultra smooth motion, enabling the production of highly repeatable components. When used in conjunction with the powerful Automation 1 motion controller, users can achieve an ideal balance of precision and speed when processing cardiovascular stents or other complex tubular components.

LaserTurn160 has established a new industry standard Aerotech product manager Brian Fink said. This platform can significantly increase production while maintaining excellent part quality, making it a revolutionary force in high-precision medical applications such as stent cutting and subsea tube manufacturing, where process yield and part repeatability are crucial.

Main features and advantages:
Excellent production capacity: Improve process efficiency by 40% or more, reduce production time, increase output, while achieving excellent part quality and repeatability.

Dynamic Rotating Axis: Provides two options for direct drive rotating tables. ASR1300 provides extremely high dynamic performance for pipes with a diameter of up to 4 millimeters, with speeds up to 3000 rpm and accelerations up to 8000 rad/s2. CCS130DR is capable of handling pipes with a diameter of up to 7.9 millimeters, combining high dynamism and versatility.

Precision workpiece clamping: When the pipe passes through the aperture of the rotating table, a fixed length pneumatic chuck can almost eliminate unnecessary pipe movement during clamping and re clamping processes.

Enhance flexibility: Compatible with D-type clamps and optional alignment clamps, it can seamlessly handle pipes of different lengths and diameters.

Seamless integration: compatible with D-type clamps and optional alignment grippers, it can easily and accurately handle materials, and the front and rear tool boards simplify the integration of bushings and other process equipment. LaserTurn160 also supports wet and dry cutting configurations to achieve maximum process versatility.
