FORMING & FABRICATION
Prima Power Laser Genius+ - Next-level laser cutting Exclusively supplied by IMTS Machinery in Australia and New Zealand, the new Prima Power Laser Genius+ brings precision and speed with improved reliability and performance like never before. The Laser Genius+ (LG+) benefits from the 30 years of expert knowledge Prima Power has gained from the supply of over 10,000 laser systems to customers worldwide. The machine developments reduce installation time, increases serviceability, and make the overall user experience the best it can be, pushing the boundaries for the manufacturing industry. Built with ease of use and ease of service in mind, the LG+ has a single structure that holds the laser source, chillers, cutting table, and electrical cabinet. Prima Power is one of the only worldwide manufacturers to develop its own electrical components, cutting head, and laser sources. It does all of this from their facilities in Italy and the USA. It is also the only system manufacturer to make its own solid-state diode fiber lasers, with power from 3kW up to 15kW. The Prima Electro subsidiary develops CNC and electrical components, along with the software to drive the machines. The LG+ has any customer requirement covered, with various modular automation systems and up to 15kW of fiber laser power. It is possible to supply the LG+ with cutting table access doors on the back and front of the machine to allow easy operator access. The customer can also flip the machine layout to have the operator console on the opposite side. As a result, Laser Genius+ allows greater flexibility when formalising a design for the client. It’s all about making the lives of our clients and their teams easier. The range of Prima Power of automation is modular, meaning it can grow with your business over the years. The LG+ comes with Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things (IoT) technology giving the most critical real-time feedback for the clients and their technicians. Remote Care condition monitoring provides routine and planned maintenance and speeds up troubleshooting and problem-solving. The Prima Power remote monitoring system collects machine data, records operation history, logs data of component usage and alarms, and stores it in the Prima Power database. LG+ benefits from Prima Power’s ‘Optia’ and ‘Wizard’ onboard technology. Optia is used for scrap sheet digitalisation via HD video camera streaming and further nesting/technology operations. Wizard is a simplified CAM system where there are five simple steps: import the part; nest; spply automatic cutting technology; postprocess; and cut.
A built-in feature regarding Industry 4.0 and IoT is that the LG+ can keep area managers up to date on production progress or messages using Tulus Messenger and Tulus Office software suites. At any time, an operator or manager can log into the machine to see the current status of the cutting cycle, alarms, or messages. In addition, they can even send new jobs straight to the work queue calendar without leaving their office. LG+ highlight features and benefits are: • Best-in-class laser system. Laser Genius+ has a highly compact footprint, with the smallest floor space requirements of all equivalent capacity 2D lasers. • Reversible and flexible layout. The symmetrical and reversible layout increases the ease and flexibility of installing the machine, allowing better placement in any production context.
• Quick installation. LG+ is a plugand-play machine. The fibre laser, chillers, drives, optics are integrated inside the cabin and ensure ease and speed of installation. Just a few days are enough to go from delivery to production in any factory. • High accessibility. Due to optional opening doors available on both sides of the machine, the Laser Genius+ guarantees the highest ergonomic standards and levels of accessibility into the work area. According to IMTS Machinery, Laser Genius+ is one of the most exciting machines Prima has released in many years. As the only agent for Prima in Australia and New Zealand, IMTS has the knowledge and backup from Prima to keep these machines running day after day, year after year.
