Touch screen GUI for laser cutting systems

Akron, NY - LVD Strippit now offers its latest 19" touch screen graphical user interface, Touch-L, on its Sirius Series of CO₂ laser cutting systems. Touch-L adds the ease of touch technology to Sirius standard and Plus models, allowing both routine and complex applications to be quickly and efficiently completed with minimal operator input.

A large 19" screen features intuitive graphical icons and visual indicators to display functions such as lens and nozzle selection, set point piercing/cutting, cutting head position, parts nesting, and provide real time reproduction of the cutting path, guiding the operator through setup and cutting application.

Touch-L also incorporates a part programming and nesting feature allowing users to import parts directly on to the control via a network drive or USB memory stick, apply cutting technology, nesting sheets and cut the nested parts directly at the machine.

Touch-L increases the efficiency and ease of use of Sirius, an automation-ready flying optics laser cutting system with a 120" x 60" (3000 x 1500 mm) work table format. Sirius features an integrated automatic shuttle table as standard with modular automation options for Sirius Plus, including a compact tower material warehousing system. Sirius is available with a powerful 2.5 kW or 4 kW CO₂ Fanuc laser source.
