Mazak Optonics Releases Affordable Laser Format, OPTIPLEX Ez
Mazak Optonics Corp. has diversified its range of 2D industrial laser metal-cutting machine offerings by introducing OPTIPLEX Ez, an affordable solution suited for first-time buyers.
OPTIPLEX Ez is available in 4kW and 6kW power options, plus 3015 and 4220 machine size options. The machine achieves optimal part quality when cutting thin to medium thickness material.
Ez integrates affordability with the accessible design of Mazak’s flagship flat sheet laser, the OPTIPLEX NEO. Large doors on the front and side of the machine minimize work area restrictions by offering complete access to the cutting table for easy loading and unloading of material.
The next-generation MAZATROL SmoothLx CNC is designed with new operators in mind and is simple to operate with minimal training. Featuring a 21.5-inch touchscreen display, the control provides a comprehensive view and intuitive control of machine functions. One-touch operation allows quick access to necessary information regarding machine status, programming details, cut conditions, and assist functions.
OPTIPLEX Ez is equipped with several intelligent functions, including Automatic Nozzle Changer and Nozzle Centering Camera. The Automatic Nozzle Changer command performs nozzle replacement by automatically selecting the appropriate nozzle for each laser-cutting job while prioritizing reduced assist gas consumption. The Nozzle Centering Camera function provides visibility of nozzle location while manual adjustments are made on the torch. Intelligent setup, monitoring, and cutting functions available on the Ez machine support optimal laser-cutting performance.
