LVD Strippit adds the Orion 4020 to its Orion Series of laser cutting systems. The hybrid-style CO2 laser cutting system is engineered for economical processing of large sheets up to 157 in x 78 in or 4 m x 2 m. Orion laser cutting systems feature a highly rigid, high-precision rack-and-pinion drive system which provides precise motion and position control. This rigid design permits the machine to maintain high processing speeds without loss of cut quality.

Orion 4020 employs a simple beam delivery system comprised of three mirrors, ensuring easy alignment and a stable beam path. The standard laser cutting head accommodates a 5 in or 7.5 in quick-change lens. These water-cooled quick-change lenses can be installed or exchanged easily, using a self-centering system. Lens calibration is programmable and quick to achieve.

A built-in capacitive height sensor automatically maintains a constant distance between the head and the plate, automatically compensating for any unevenness in the material. For additional ease in set-up and loading, the machine table is positioned at a comfortable working height and offers full access and visibility on three sides.

Automatic cutting gas selection and automatic cutting gas pressure control with servo valve are other standard features that further simplify machine set-up and operation. Orion 4020 is equipped with a high-pressure cutting head that produces exceptionally clean cuts. A crash-protection system protects the head from damage after collision with the workpiece.

A total power control feature automatically adjusts the laser power in relation to the cutting speed, ensuring an optimal cut at every contour width and minimizing the heat-affected zone. The machine's edge function feature processes sharp corners cleanly, particularly in thicker materials.
