High speed laser cutting has made great strides in bridging the competitive gap, but the fastest system is only capable of throughput paced by its operatoruntil now.
Mazak has teamed the lightning-fast HyperGear 2D laser with FMS and OptoPath technologies that bundle automation for loading, picking, sorting, stacking and scrap removal, to add capacity and
increase throughput. Utilization factors of 80-90% are now possible, with far less direct labor cost.
