INNOVATIVE OPERATING AND MONITORING Intuitive The IMPACT 4530 supports the machine operator with an intuitive operating concept. Build jobs are prepared offline at a CAD-CAM workstation and transmitted to the machine as a fully defined print job. HMI The job file is downloaded onto the C.O.R.E. panel using the touchscreen, and the mainly autonomous machine preparation is initiated. The IMPACT 4530 is ready for production in just a few minutes. Programming or configuring on the machine is a thing of the past; all process-specific parameters are predefined in the job file. HUMAN – MACHINE All in...

PROCESS UNIT Metallic AM parts manufactured by selectively melting metal powder applying the LPBF (Laser Powder Bed Fusion) process can be realized on the IMPACT 4530 at any time with high productivity and in the required quality. The idea to separate operating and loading areas established in the system concept, together with the container changing system gives an opportunity to integrate IMPACT 4530 into a highly automated system network. The IMPACT 4530, essentially consists of two machine sections: the thermo-stabilized machine core as a cast iron machine base and the supply unit as a welded...

Short nonproductive times between build-job 1 and build-job 2 can be realized via an automated container changing system. The metallic powder from which the components are printed, as well as the parts built up on a build plate, are fed to the system with two containers (build and powder supply container), and removed again after a completed build job. The handling of the powder and AM parts in the gas-tight containers enables fast loading and unloading of the system. In the event of a material change, the cleaning of the system is minimal. The concept of the machine and the various machine options...

INERT GAS AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL Since LPBF (Laser Powder Bed Fusion) belongs to the group of micro welding processes, a good inert gas atmosphere is crucial for the microstructure of the components. The flow of inert gas extracts fume and spatter; this enables a uniform energy input over the entire working area. The IMPACT 4530 was essentially designed to ensure an ideal and homogeneous flow of inert gas. The process chamber and gas-conducting components were optimally shaped using extended flow simulations, and the inert gas preparation is based on precise measurements of pressure, flow, oxygen...

SCALABLE – FROM STAND-ALONE TO FULLY AUTOMATED From a stand-alone solution to fully automated production with integra- Thanks to the separate operating and loading areas, which is also imtion of downstream processes, the IMPACT system concept meets the plemented accordingly in the machines for the downstream processes, highest demands in terms of flexibility and degree of automation. the IMPACT 4530 can be optimally combined with an automation cell (IRPD HM2). Depending on the application and customer requirements, the IMPACT 4530 can be used as a stand-alone machine as well as with other In...
