VENTIS utilizes AMADA’s revolutionary Locus Beam Control to achieve infinite locus patterns to ensure optimum beam shape control for each specific cutting application.

VENTIS utilizes AMADA’s revolutionary Locus Beam Control (LBC) to achieve infinite locus patterns to ensure optimum beam shape control for each specific cutting application. LBC technology delivers unprecedented high-speed and high-quality cutting up to 3 times faster than a conventional fiber laser.

A high-brightness fiber laser oscillator maintains optimal quality of the high-energy density laser beam. As a result, VENTIS provides virtually dross-free cutting of a variety of materials and thicknesses including stainless steel and aluminum.

Productivity Mode
In the N₂ non-oxidizing cutting of medium-thick stainless steel and aluminum, processing cost can be reduced by up to 75%.

Quality Mode
Cut quality is ensured by reducing the surface roughness by approximately 50% when compared to a conventional machine and dross is reduced to less than 10 μm.

Kerf Control Mode
Enables long-term stable processing during automated system operation. By oscillating the beam, the kerf width can be controlled to 2.5 times wider than a conventional machine.

AMADA’s latest generation of servo-controlled press brakes, the EGB 1303 ATCe, is equipped with a high-performance electric drive system combined with an Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) and voice command control. These production-enhancing features ensure high-speed bending and repeatable accuracy even if an operator lacks experience. In addition, a compact, newly-redesigned ATC can precisely load complex tool layouts within minutes—making it the ideal solution for variable lot sizes and the seamless introduction of rush jobs.

An integrated HMI control tablet is positioned above the tooling bed to provide convenient access to bending data, thereby maximizing efficiency and productivity. A backgauge camera connects to the HMI tablet and AMNC 4ie control to ensure the correct bend position. The intelligent AMNC 4ie control provides operator face recognition and allows voice commands to request, change, and verify bend information while the operator is on the move—all as an automatic foot pedal slides to the next bending position to ensure continuous operation.

To further boost productivity, Bi-S II Bend Indicator Sensors automatically measure
and correct bend angles up to 85% faster than Bi-S technology. And a new electric Auto-Crowning system maintains longitudinal accuracy throughout production.
