LV Mini

Precision welding and precision cutting on an installation area of just one square metre

The LV Mini is an ultra-flexible laser processing machine which is particularly suitable for quick and convenient processing of many different small workpieces with complex component geometries or even fine structures.

High-precision linear and rotation axes guarantee highest precision and repeatability – the most important basic requirements for efficient laser processing processes in the range of small and medium-sized quantities. Due to the fact that the LV Mini is particularly suitable for welding and precision cutting applications, it is possible to achieve connections and cuts which have a precise tolerance and are visually appealing.

Your advantages

Variable equipment with 3- to 5-axis NC system
Very good accessibility and ergonomics due to "door opening across the corner".
Two versions available: as a standing workstation with a storage space of only 1m² or as a seated workstation with loading table
especially for applications in medical technology, sensor technology and precision engineering
Laser marking as a practical additional benefit
Control highlights simplify operation and improve welding and cutting results

Laser sources

The LV Mini is designed for operation with fibre-coupled laser sources up to 500 W average power (up to 1 kW depending on the application). Ask us about the suitable laser source for your application! Laser sources from the following suppliers are often used depending on the application:

Lasers of the TruPulse series from Trumpf
QCW and single-mode laser sources from IPG Laser

Processing optics

Various optics configurations are used for the processing optics, depending on the application. For example, the basis is:

processing optics of the BEO series from Trumpf
processing optics from Precitec

The following optional extras are available:

Manual optics tilting, e.g. 0...90°.
laser beam conversion with LV SpinScan

Process monitoring

A camera image with crosshairs is available to the user of our machines as standard, for example for set-up processes.

Optional: Integrated image processing system for automatic correction of fixture and component tolerances.
Optional: Display of process monitoring via a separate display (optionally integrated in the operating panel or external)

further equipment

Various media assemblies (electric or manual) for protective gas and compressed air
Remote maintenance licence
MES via OPC UA (soon with Umati interface)
Data backup
Tracing functions
External laser power measurement
Seat version with a welded steel construction has adjustable rollers, so the machine can be operated at any location
