Full cover metal laser cutting machine

Both above two metal laser cutting machines adopt an open structure. Thus, part of the smoke generated during the cutting process may release into the atmosphere. This could cause certain pollution and impact on the air. It is forbidden in some countries, especially in Europe. Therefore, we launch the full cover models. 

Full cover metal laser cutting machines have a fully enclosed protective cover enclosing the machine bed. In this way, operators can observe the whole cutting process outside the cover while keeping their safe.

Except that, the smoke generated from cutting will also be removed by the fume extractor inside the cover. So, this cover protects not only the operator’s safety but also the working environment. The full cover laser metal cutting machine mainly cuts metal sheets and plates, like steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and their alloys.

This CNC laser machine uses an aviation-grade extruded aluminum gantry with light weight, good rigidity, and high precision. It ensures smooth operation and precise cutting of the cutting head. In addition, the control system is integrated inside the machine bed. So, it reduces the failure rate incurred by the disturbance and uncertainty brought by excessive line switching. The metal laser cutter can work more stably.

Blue Elephant provides two models of full cover metal laser cutting machines. One is with two platforms and the other is equipped with an automatic loading and unloading system.
