    • LS5 is one of the markets most complete solutions, designed to evolve with your needs. The very compact and configurable layout can be suited to fit your available space and processing requirements.  It is available with a transverse or in-line pallet changer with sizes up to 6000 x 2000 (20’ x 6.5’). Add automatic sheet metal loading and unloading or a storage tower for automated material type and thickness changeovers.

    The LS5 is the only machine that can be expanded to add a tube cutting module. A fully-automated tube loading, cutting and unloading system can be integrated at any time. The tube cutter shares the same laser, cutting head, and axis of the sheet laser. It offers a low-cost entry into automated tube cutting or satisfies the demands of your production mix when the need for two separate laser systems is not justified.
