11 th International Exhibition "Metalworking 2010"

In the days of the 11 th International Exhibition "Metalworking 2010", the company VNITEP held workshop "import substitution complexes of laser processing of metals Navigator: What is the advantage over the best foreign counterparts?". The seminar was held May 26, 2010. The seminar was attended and actively participated by representatives of large factories and industrial companies that use laser metal complexes COP "Navigator" is not the first year: Tver Carriage Works, Metrovagonmash, Vulkankomplekt, Aras-NN, etc. Also, a seminar attended by representatives of companies that plan to upgrade Production of the cities: Moscow, St. Petersburg, Minsk, Tashkent, Novosibirsk, Samara, Rostov-on-Don, Krasnodar, Great Luke, Miass, etc. Representatives of the press: the magazine "Rhythm" (general information partner of the exhibition), Journal Photonics. "Representatives of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of laser equipment and services laser processing of materials: Laser Innovation & Technology Centre, NOT IRE-Polus "(IPG Photonics), TRUMPF, Rofin Sinar. Spoke at the seminar The seminar Ilya Turutina (Aras NN) has shared his years of experience working with complex COP "Navigator", which was originally equipped with a CO2 laser on the transition to fiber laser output NOT IRE-Polus. Alex Korukov and Maria Stepanova (VNITEP) spoke about the history of growth and development of the company VNITEP, modern technological solutions used to date in the construction of the complex laser processing of metal COP "Navigator". Maria Stepanova also spoke about the promising developments and new products offered VNITEP. The presentation can be downloaded here. Also made by leading engineers Evgeny Romanov, who spoke on the machine control system and new developments (the text of the report here), Oleg Ivanov. Vladimir Plotnikov (NOT IRE-Polus) reported on new developments in the field of fiber lasers. Speakers noted the following advantages of laser systems, "Navigator" to foreign analogs using CO2 lasers: - High efficiency laser source (30%) - power Navigator, nearly 4 times lower than foreign counterparts - the possibility of fiber laser cutting of holes in thick materials with diameter less than 0.3 thickness of the material - the radiation is transported to the cutting head without the use of the principle of "flying optics, fiber optic, eliminating the need to align the mirrors, easy setup mode machine operation and enhances security - the absence of a fiber laser cavity in a traditional performanceand maintenance-free resonator - the quality of the fiber laser emission and a shorter wavelength than that of CO2 that can focus the beam into a spot of smaller diameter, as well as increase energopoglaschenie - compact fiber lasers and design, made of various modifications, including rack-mount version. Performances attracted the interest and audience discussion. We sincerely thank all our guests, especially representatives of the company TRUMPF and Laser Center LITC for your interest and active participation in the seminar.
