The FOL AJ is engineered to produce the highest quality parts at unmatched speed while reducing operating costs and environmental waste. The benefits of fiber laser technology are:

Faster cutting of thin material (2 to 4 times that of a comparable 4000 W CO2 laser)
Superior speed and edge quality in material thicknesses up to 7/8" compared to other solid-state systems
P.R.E. (Process Range Expansion) by providing the ability to laser cut copper, brass, titanium and other materials that were previously difficult to process
No optics or space inside the cavity of the laser source - eliminating costs associated with mirrors and downtime for alignment of optics
The reduction of environmentally harmful emissions due to it's solid-state technology—which does not require laser gas to generate the laser beam
Less power is consumed than its CO2 counterpart. Since there are no optics to keep cool, a smaller, more efficient chiller further enhances cost savings
With all three axes driven by linear drives, it boasts rapid traverse speeds of 13,380"/min. and a 5G acceleration speed for the entire work envelope — making it the fastest 5´ x 10´ laser system available
The wear of components typically associated with ball-screw or rack and pinion systems has been eliminated
An auto-nozzle changer automatically changes nozzles based on material cut conditions ensuring that the laser does not sit idle while waiting for an operator to setup for the next job
The shuttle tables externalize the material setup, eliminating interference with the cutting process
AMADA’s AJ2000 and AJ4000 oscillators (fiber engines) drastically reduce electrical consumption (1/ 3 the amount of energy consumed by the typical CO2 oscillators)
