Product catalog summary

Introduction
DIMECO's LINACUT® concept integrates the flexibility of laser cutting with the efficiency of coil-fed processes, designed for sheet metal up to 4 mm thick. It includes a coil handling line, a continuous laser cutting module, and an automatic part downloading system, complementing existing 2D laser tables and CNC turret punching machines.

Software and Control
The ALMA ACT/CUT CAM software suite supports 2D/3D drawing import, automatic nesting, cutting head movement optimization, and production management. The system is controlled by BOSCH-REXROTH (Indramat) MTX numerical control with dual screens for line monitoring and PC applications.

Specifications
Fiber laser sources range from 2 to 3 kW. The system includes a fume and dust collector, uncoilers from 3 to 30 tons, and a laser-proof cabinet. The laser cutting head operates on X, Y, and Z axes powered by linear and servo motors. The LINACUT® models vary in working area and axis speed, with high precision and repeatability.

Capabilities
LINACUT® can process materials like mild steel, high tensile steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and copper, with or without specific plastic films. It supports unlimited part length and can function as a cut-to-length line, producing sized blanks for turret punch presses or other lasers.

Efficiency and Cost Reduction
The system reduces scrap rates by over 10% compared to traditional lasers and offers significant material cost savings by using coils instead of blanks. Cycle times are reduced as coil replacement is only needed when changing material specifications. The optional PITSTOP® configuration allows quick strip insertion and re-coiling.

Production and Flexibility
LINACUT® supports long, unmanned production runs and can handle coils up to 25 tons. It is ideal for OEMs and job shops, offering flexibility and efficiency for small to medium quantity jobs without dedicated tooling. The system is suitable for prototypes, pre-production batches, and niche vehicle components.

Part Collection and Scrap Management
A 6 or 7-axis robot continuously offloads parts, and the system manages skeleton splitting through the CAM processor. Scrap is collected in a container at the conveyor exit, ensuring efficient material handling.

CUTTING MATERIAL COSTS Working from coil is like processing a blank with infinite length. It therefore opens the nesting algorithms to unlimited options - More than 10 % scrap rate reduction can be generated compared to traditional lasers, - There is no limit in part length to be produced, - Buying coil instead of blanks offers more saving on material cost. CYCLE TIME REDUCTION Using LINACUT®, the blank loading operation is no longer required. Coil replacement is only required when changing material specification. Optional PITSTOP® configuration allows strip insertion and re-coiling in less than...
