AMADA VENTIS Fibre Laser with Locus Beam Control (LBC) Technology

The AMADA VENTIS series represents a major advancement in fiber laser cutting technology through the introduction of the revolutionary Locus Beam Control (LBC) Technology. Combined with a high-brightness 4 kW single-diode fiber laser oscillator, the VENTIS delivers cutting performance comparable to many conventional 6 kW fiber laser systems while maintaining lower energy consumption and superior cutting quality.

Unlike traditional fiber laser cutting systems, where energy density decreases as material thickness increases and beam defocusing becomes necessary, LBC Technology dynamically controls the laser beam pattern according to the material and application requirements. This innovative approach maintains high energy density throughout the cutting process, eliminating the need for defocusing and significantly improving efficiency.

LBC Technology enables precise manipulation of the laser beam, creating an unlimited range of beam trajectories optimized for different cutting conditions. As a result, manufacturers can achieve higher productivity, improved edge quality, and greater process stability without increasing laser power.

Key Benefits of LBC Technology

• Performance comparable to conventional 6 kW fiber lasers using only a 4 kW laser source.
• Up to 30% lower electricity consumption compared to higher-power fiber laser systems.
• Improved cutting speed across a wide range of materials.
• Enhanced cut quality with reduced surface roughness and minimal dross formation.
• Stable automated processing through advanced kerf width control.
• Reduced operating and processing costs.

Productivity Mode

Productivity Mode significantly increases throughput when cutting with nitrogen.

Typical performance improvements include:

• Stainless steel cutting speeds up to 2 times faster than conventional 4 kW fiber lasers.
• Aluminum cutting speeds up to 2–3 times faster than conventional 4 kW fiber lasers.
• Processing cost reductions of up to 75% in certain applications due to increased productivity and reduced energy consumption.

Quality Mode

Quality Mode focuses on maximizing edge quality and reducing secondary operations.

Benefits include:

• Approximately 50% improvement in surface finish quality.
• Dross formation reduced to less than 10 μm.
• Capability to achieve dross-free cutting on thick stainless steel applications.
• Reduced or eliminated deburring requirements.
• Faster cutting speeds than standard 4 kW fiber lasers while maintaining superior quality.
