• VENTIS 3015 AJ Outperforms Higher Wattage Fiber Lasers at a Considerably Lower Operating Cost. (May 03, 2021)

  VENTIS utilizes AMADA’s revolutionary Locus Beam Control (LBC) to achieve infinite locus patterns — ensuring 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.

  The high cutting speed, reduced power consumption, and other process parameters mean that the costs of operating the 4kW VENTIS are considerably lower than a system with a higher output level.
