The NX – Mitsubishi's Fastest, Most Powerful Laser Ever
Why 6000 Watts?
Speed – Faster than a lower wattage laser, particularly when using N2 or air as assist gas.
Cut Thicker – N2 cut steel without carbon residue to ½”, aluminum to ¾”, stainless to 1”.
Why a 6000 Watt NX? High Power, Without the High Cost of Operation
- Still No Refurbs – some 6000 watt lasers have not one but two high speed turbine blowers, meaning double the refurb expense. As always, Mitsubishi’s unique 6000 watt cross flow laser contains no glassware or turbine blowers, and requires no refurbs.
- Frugal on Gas – just 4.5 liters/hr [0.16 cfh] of an inexpensive pre-mix. A 6000 watt NX uses less laser gas than even the competition’s low wattage models.
- Less Electricity – an NX is 110 kva at full output power (all axes max speed & chiller full cycle). But at 4kw/50% beam-on it drops to 40kva (same as our 4000 watt LV), and at idle the NX draws just 13kva - which for a short run shop can be a good percentage of a shift.
1” Automation – some offer high wattage lasers with only ½” or ¾” automation. All Mitsubishi automation is full sheet 1” capacity. The NX is available with an optional nozzle changer, helpful for unmanned operation.
No Water Shroud – for many lasers, more wattage = more heat. Some suggest spraying water on the plate to cool things down. A Mitsubishi cross flow cuts comparatively cooler than a fast axial flow laser, so you get cleaner looking parts, and the possibility of using thinner webs for higher nest yields, without the need for a rust inducing water shroud.
