The PIRANHA turntable “Quadro” enables circumferential processing of four cylindrical parts in one workstep.

The rotary table offers the possibility for the user of loading and unloading the laser system during machining.
The NC-controlled integrated “Quadro” dividing head from ACSYS offers a maximum of productivity for circumferential laser processing of cylindrical work pieces.

The presented application are precision stainless steel valve bodies, which are labeled on the front and back.

Mechanical options:
- Rotary tact table with bracing for two working areas to load and unload workpieces during laser machining.
- Four workpiece carriers on NC-controlled swivels per working area for every workpiece on NC-controlled dividing head.
- Large optic (focal distance 254 mm; marking area 170x170mm²) allows synchronous marking of all pieces in one workstep.
- Workpieces will be marked on two different positions. Turning of the workpieces occur automatically by the software of ACSYS.

Customer values:
- Time saving: Loading and unloading during machining and automated marking on two sides.
- Cost saving: Fewer remakes/waste by semi-automatic processes. Barcode scanner compares order data and workpiece blank.
- Quality Improvement: Order data transfer from data base.
- Quality Improvement: Operator data, date of manufacture and serial number flow automatically into the marking for precise retraceability.

• Exhibition review: We thank all interested parties and visitors. The EMO was an all around successful event. http://t.co/vRyz2IRr #

At the close of EMO Hannover 2011 – the leading international trade fair for the machine tool industry – exhibitors, visitors and organizers were unanimous in their praise of the event: “This EMO was a winner in every respect and has earned top marks from visitors and exhibitors alike. EMO Hannover has further expanded its reputation as the flagship fair for the international metalworking industry,” remarked EMO Hannover General Commissioner Dr. Detlev Elsinghorst.

Staged under the motto of “Machine Tools & More”, the six-day event in Hannover featured the latest machinery, solutions and services for every conceivable aspect of metalworking – a veritable tour de force by some 2,037 exhibitors from 41 different nations.

ACSYS presented four laser system solutions to the professional audience.

This compact system, the OYSTER, provides an economical way to get started in laser marking.
The OYSTER has a modular structure, and will be equipped for the EMO with a 10 watt fiber laser.

The second system on site was the PIRANHA II Multi.
The PIRANHA is now available in four sizes, and like all other systems of ACSYS are also configured in modular manner.

Third laser system at the fair in Hannover was a BARRACUDA Multi.
The all-in-one from ACSYS with its generously dimensioned and easily accessible working area offers enough space for large or palletized workpieces.

The fourth laser processing system presented at the EMO, was the new 5-axis system BARRACUDAμ.
The unique 5-axis laser machining center from ACSYS specifically has been designed for µ range.

From Tuesday to Friday, there was a circle of selected clients and prospective customers for a Happy Hour with exotic cocktails and the finest laser technology on the booth.

• New ACSYS video! PIRANHA III OPR – Automation with pallet loading and integrated rotary table. http://t.co/B5DVKXT #

Another example of a customized solution from ACSYS.

The PIRANHA III shown here was fitted with two side magazine racks that allow the loading and unloading of the system of 20 pallets. The feeding of the individual pallets within the laser system, as well as the export of the finished pallet is fully automatic.

The PIRANHA is equipped with the OPR (Optical part recognition) of ACSYS.
A camera detects the position and orientation (rotation) of the loose-lying parts in the pallet , and positions the layout for the laser marking and laser engraving software controlled in the correct position.
The system automatically processes the pallet.

Furthermore, the laser system is equipped with a reversing rotary table, which enables parallel loading to primary processing time.
As well as in fully automatic magazine-mode, the inserted pieces are identified by a high-resolution camera system and automatically marked and engraved by laser.
