Brief of Fiber Laser Metal Cutting Machine 1530 A

Wattsan 1313 A Laser Metal Cutter

This metal cutting machine is lighter than the models in the E, S, and HARD series due to its bed being constructed from thick-walled tubes. Its lower profile contributes to enhanced stability. To further increase durability, the bed is lined with fire bricks and features roll-out carts for convenience.

The design boosts both durability and efficiency. With a working area of 1300×1300 mm, this machine can cut metal sheets up to 3–4 mm thick continuously, 24/7. Though it's the smallest in its series, it delivers the same power as the larger models. Its standout feature is its compact and user-friendly design, making it ideal for small spaces. It can process a variety of metals including stainless steel, carbon steel, galvanized steel, copper, and aluminum.

This lightweight and compact model is more affordable, making it accessible for smaller and start-up businesses, all while maintaining the high quality standards of Wattsan.

  • FLYCUT technology allows you to determine the shortest and most efficient cutting trajectory enabling fast cutting of round and rectangular holes in sheet metal with thicknesses up to 1 mm. In this case the laser head works without lifting and lowering which ensures high speed of work and saves gas. This mode is suitable if you are manufacturing ventilation systems.

  • Prevents corners from melting and increases the quality of manufactured products due to the laser head looping at each corner and not stopping. The obtained corners are clear and even. RINGCUT function is suitable for working with thicker materials or for cutting products with multiple corners where precision is important, e.g. gears, monograms, souvenirs, etc.

  • Professional optimization of the arrangement of parts on the sheet suitable for the production of promotional products. NESTING function allows to lay out parts on the sheet as efficiently and as close to each other as possible so that there are no gaps. This allows saving material.

  • Allows to precisely determine the position of the sheet in the work area using three reference points. You can only put the material on the work area, specify its dimensions in the program and the machine will do everything itself. You do not need to put the material perfectly on the table.

  • It is used to insert micro-joints into the processing path so that the parts do not land on its side. In this case it is easy to remove the parts after cutting. This saves working head from colliding with parts during operation. This function allows producing small parts for promotional and souvenir products without losing them in the work area.

  • This mode allows to join lines that are close to each other, that is to join them so that the laser head does not cut in the same place. This function will greatly improve performance and reduce the operation time. This function is suitable for mass production, for example, while manufacturing workpieces, promotional and souvenir products, etc.

Metal cutters from Wattsan — forget about repairs and downtime

  • Flies like a plane

    Gantry is made out of aviation aluminum. It provides high durability, rigidity, light weight, corrosion and oxidation resistance, and a high speed of movement. That helps equipment manage heavy loads and prevent deformations. All that guarantees long-term and trouble-free operations.

    Flies like a plane
  • Solid like a space shuttle

    The inner parts of the bed and roll-out curts are strengthened with fire bricks. Those can handle temperatures up to 1720 °C, which is comparable to the temperatures that can be absorbed by the space shuttle that goes into the atmosphere. That’s made to eliminate the potential for deformations or the possibility for the laser to cut through the bed itself.

    Solid like a space shuttle
  • Segregation of duties

    Four table parts make up the modular construction of this machine. It provides protection from thermal effects. Also, it increases the sustaining capability. In the event of a necessity for change, you can easily swap only the needed part, not the whole table.

     Segregation of duties
  • Light and steady

    This model has a lower bed made from thick-walled profile tubes. This makes the structure lighter but at the same time more stable; the closer to the floor, the better the stability. The frame has also undergone heat treatment and robotic milling, like all the other ones in Wattsan machines.

    Light and steady
  • Secure the machine from wear

    The model is equipped with a centralized automated lubrication system for further convenience. It takes care of all the moving parts at regular intervals. This technology allows you to worry only about the oil level while also extending the machine's life. There is also a specific feature that alerts the control system when it runs out of oil.

    Secure the machine from wear
  • Efficient Dust Removal

    The machine has a hollow frame at its base, where there are grids, three on the left and right sides, through which dust and gas are removed using an extraction machine at the end of the system. This increases the volume of removed gas and dust while keeping the system's total capacity constant.

    Efficient Dust Removal

Firm frame structure of Wattsan machines

During the machine operation inertia of gentry motion is transferred to the frame which is subjected to significant loads. Therefore material and structure of the machine play a significant role in securing the machine against deformation and breakage.

  • In the process of designing the machine, all kinds of tests of static and dynamic loads were carried out to identify the maximum allowable deformations of the table and machine bed in order to maintain the correct geometry of the structure. Due to the selected design configuration, the maximum load on the table is increased by 800 kg of distributed weight. This allows you to process materials up to 15 mm thick, with a cut quality of +-0.01 mm and 24/7 and ensures the durability of the bed up to 10 years.

    Worktable can withstand heavy loads
  • Wattsan frames are designed according to the latest technology, their primary objective is to avoid vibration when operating at design speeds and accelerations. The frame is installed on vibration mounts or is anchored to a 50 cm thick concrete pad.

    No vibrations
  • All frames undergo multi-stage heat treatment within a day which results in less vibration during machine operation. This technology allows to release tension from metal and increase the machine’s service life from 10 years and more.

Ask questions

  • A fiber-optic laser is best suited for cutting metal, but a specially equipped CO2 laser with a high-power laser tube may also be suitable for this purpose. However, it should be borne in mind that the thickness of the metal for cutting with a CO2 laser is limited to 1.5 mm, while a fiber-optic laser is capable of cutting up to 25 mm.

  • The cost of an hour of laser cutting depends not only on the power of the laser machine and the speed of its operation, but also on a number of other factors, such as: the professional skills of the machine operator, the cost of renting a production room, the cost and consumption of electricity, the cost of the material itself, the amount of scrap and downtime of the machine, and much more. In order to unambiguously answer the question about the cost of an hour of laser cutting, it is necessary to take into account all these parameters.

  • A focused laser beam is applied to the metal surface, as a result of which it melts, the molten material is blown out of the cutting zone with the help of an auxiliary gas.

  • The power of the laser emitter depends on the thickness of the material being processed and the desired processing speed. For example, a 1 kW emitter will cut 1 mm thick stainless steel at a speed of 13 m/min, and a 3 kW emitter will cut the same material at a speed of about 35 m/min. Here everything depends on the budget and the expediency of using the maximum possible capacity. Although it can be said that in today's competitive realities it does not make sense to buy a laser machine with a power of less than 1 kW.
