The HACO CNC Laser Cutting Machine RAPTOR is of the ‘ flying optics ' concept.

This concept has many advantages: the machine's inertia remains the same for all material thicknesses and sizes to be cut, which gives optimum controllable quality of the laser beam at the cutting head as well as its movement and accuracy.

The laser beam, generated in the laser source, is led through mirrors via the Y, X and Z-axis to the focal lens in the cutting head. The capacitive sensor, which is incorporated in the cutting head, follows the material surface and guarantees the optimum working height, as set by the CNC Control.

With the standard Auto Focus System, the focal point is automatically adjusted and thus kept at its optimum position in relation to the material.

The CNC Control selects the programmed cutting gas and delivers it through the nozzle at the correct pressure.

The selective fume extraction is fully CNC controlled and guarantees an optimum efficiency. The outlet of the (optional) fume extraction unit is completely free of dust and particles.

Due to our unique way of controlling the whole process, the operator has interactive control of all programmed values, such as speed, gas pressure, laser power, … during the cutting process.
