Laser welding, cutting.

Mitsubishi's new VZ2 high-performance, three-dimensional, 5-axis laser welding/cutting system features a C[O.sub.2] laser-welding head that enables non-contact welding welding, process for joining separate pieces of metal in a continuous metallic bond. Cold-pressure welding is accomplished by the application of high pressure at room temperature; forge welding (forging) is done by means of hammering, with the addition of heat. , no magnetic field effects and stronger welds. Its five-axis standard offset head has been optimized for cutting a wide range of materials and thicknesses. A thick-plate cutting head, with capacitance capacitance, in electricity, capability of a body, system, circuit, or device for storing electric charge. Capacitance is expressed as the ratio of stored charge in coulombs to the impressed potential difference in volts.  height sensor A device that measures or detects a real-world condition, such as motion, heat or light and converts the condition into an analog or digital representation. An optical sensor detects the intensity or brightness of light, or the intensity of red, green and blue for color systems. , cuts up to 0.75" mild steel. VZ2's laser energy is directly transferred to the welded area, creating its high-speed welding capabilities. Its Windows-based control system delivers speed and flexibility during programming, job setup See BIOS setup and install program. , and parts cutting. Mitsubishi Laser, www.rsleads.com/507tp-201
