Amada Miyachi America Inc. has announced a comprehensive system wide upgrade to its Sigma Laser Stent and Tube Cutter, which can be configured with either microsecond fiber or femtosecond lasers. Featuring 3 or 4 axes of motion, wet and dry cutting, an automated tube loader option and easy access to sub-assemblies, the updated system can cut stents and tubes with diameters from 0.2 to 25 mm. The operator-friendly control software features a 22” graphic user interface (GUI) on a swing arm.
The Sigma system has been designed for efficient production and practical operation. New features include an open architecture with enhanced workspace access and a sliding door that provides quick access for part unloading and set-up changes. All service components are now on drawers that can be easily accessed. The system also features high-precision highacceleration linear drive stages that optimize cycle time, a 2” Z-axis and optional lineal stage cross axis for off-axis cutting, and a smart water supply system that controls and monitors flow. A single-screen operator interface facilitates ease of use with passwordprotected access levels. The toolpath can be optimized using either CAGILA CNC programming software or another CAD/CAM post-processing software.
Two different laser source options are available. The microsecond fiber laser offers enhanced beam quality and high pulse repetition rates for highspeed precision cutting. The femtosecond laser uses cold ablation cutting to produce improved edge quality that reduces post-processing costs.
Enclosure options include Class 1 systems in both open and closed frame, and Class 4 systems customized to specific integration, access and loading speed requirements.
