Piranha PlateLASER machines are built in the US with reliability and economy in mind. These proven-tough machines use the best mechanical components available to ensure precision and reliability throughout their service life. This special combination of durability and cost efficiency provides maximum value for steel processors.
The Piranha PlateLASER 1530 combines the benefits of high power fiber laser cutting and linear drive positioning into a laser cutting system that can process up to 1” thick steel*. The 60” x 120” (1.5m x 3.0m) process envelop and pallet shuttle tables will process one sheet of material while loading or unloading the other.
We incorporate technology to reduce nitrogen assist gas flow when cutting with 12kW laser power. This can result in nitrogen consumption rates which are significantly less than other processes.

*NOTE: When cutting at or near the maximum material thickness for each process, it may be necessary to compensate for variations in material chemistry, surface condition, and thickness deviation from lot to lot. Some situations may require the use of laser-grade materials.
GAS REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: Customer shall install and utilize bulk liquid and bulk liquid nitrogen storage tanks. Using portable tanks for O2or N2 will create additional chances of contamination entering the gas supply lines and the cutting head due to frequent tank changes. Contamination will cause cutting head lens failure and thus cause machine down time and additional operating expense.

PlatePARTNER™ SEMI-AUTOMATIC LOADING SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
The PlatePARTNER™ SEMI-AUTOMATIC LOADING SYSTEM is used to move a plate of raw material from a stack and place it onto the pallet table in preparation for a production cycle. The estimated cycle time of 60 seconds eliminates the need for secondary overhead cranes, fork lift trucks, or assistants during the material loading sequence.
Description of Operation:
- Semi-Automatic operation is initiated by the operator at the control station.
- The PlatePARTNER™ vacuum platen lowers until it reaches the top of the material stack.
- Vacuum turns on.
- When the vacuum level is sufficient, the vacuum platen raises to the up position
- The arm swings clockwise toward the machine until the vacuum platen is above the pallet table.
- The vacuum platen lowers until the material is on top of the table.
- The vacuum turns off and releases the material.
- The vacuum platen raises to the up position.
- The crane arm swings counter clockwise away from the machine until it is above the material stack.
- The operator pushes the material against the locating stops.
- The operator clears the safety interlocks and presses cycle start to begin the automatic cycle.

NOTES:
- For plates longer than 120″ (3000 mm), please consult the factory.
- The material table is not included. The table must be constructed so as to eliminate any gaps between itself and the in feed (right hand) table.
POP-UP BALL TRANSFER SHEET LOADING ASSIST SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
The POP-UP BALL TRANSFER SHEET LOADING ASSIST SYSTEM is designed to allow material to be easily moved to the material reference stops. Ball transfers will raise to a location above the pallet slats. Once the operator locates the work piece against the stops, the ball transfers will retract so that the work piece rests directly on the slats, in the correct zero location. The system is located below the outside pallet and will work with either pallet in the pallet load location.
AUTOMATIC NOZZLE CHANGER (OPTIONAL)
The AUTOMATIC NOZZLE CHANGER includes 6 different nozzle stations. The desired nozzle is selected through the CNC part program. An automatic nozzle calibration procedure is executed after changing the nozzle.
DUST COLLECTOR FUME EXTRACTION SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
The dust collector (manufactured by Donaldson) includes a 7.5 HP blower and (9) high temperature filters and integrated spark trap.
LAMINAR FLOW BOX (OPTIONAL)
Piranha recommends an optics servicing area to be located away from manufacturing areas. This area must have minimum air movement and a dust free environment. For best results, we recommend purchase of a laminar flow box to be located in an office area
NOTE: Optics contamination is the leading cause of premature cutting head failure. It is extremely important that optics (e.g. cover slides) are cleaned prior to use. This cleaning must be done in a clean environment. This area will also be used for on-site cutting head maintenance (to be done by our technicians).
SigmaNEST CNC PROGRAMMING SYSTEM FOR LASER CUTTING (OPTIONAL)
SigmaNEST is the most advanced laser cutting software for manufacturing environments and was created through years of targeted research and development with nesting and NC programming. Key benefits include
- Cutting technology management functions like automatic pulsing, power ramping, feed rate control, focal height, assist gas and pressure adjustment
- Pre-piercing, pierce “on-the-fly” and pierce reduction, as well as options for fine, fast and normal piercing
- Material and time savings with bridge cutting, common-line cutting and chain cutting
- Various levels of cut quality using Appropriate Quality Cutting (AQC) technology
- Repositioning and automatic cut pick up for cutting on plates that extend beyond the cutting area
- Selective vaporizing at low wattage to cut protective layer
- Corner ramping precision
