LD2 Series: Laser Cutting Machines for PCD The LD2 is designed primarily for cutting large carbide backed PCD mother discs into the smaller pieces needed for tools. It can also be used to trim mother discs to the required diameter ex. press. The machine can cut PCD at a much higher speed than by a wire EDM machine. Typical cutting speeds are 80-100mm/min. The machine is simple to operate and accepts dxf files from any CAD system.         THE STRENGTHS - LD2 Cuts 1.6mm thick, carbide backed PCD at 80-100 mm per minute Cuts simple and complex shapes, straight or curved paths. Kerf width is less than 150 µm giving increase in yield of 10 - 15% over wire cutting. Cuts PCD up to 4.5mm thick (at reduced cutting speeds). Cuts holes and internal shapes. Cut cemented carbide up to 5.0mm thick Cut pieces remain interlocked in place until broken out. High speed cutting eliminates the need for holding cut pieces in stock. Easy to operate - minimal training required. User friendly touch-screen control. The laser head can be mechanically tilted and clearance angles pre-cut on blanks. Synthetic granite base for x,y,z table and for laser optics. Pressurized slides to present ingress of dust Pressurized optics to present ungress of dust CCTV for laser alignment and viewing of cut process Coborn control system. Coborn system uses dxf drawing file directly for cut pattern
