Salvagnini laser cutting: L5 high dynamics fiber laser

The compass is the very heart of the mechanical solution designed by Salvagnini for the L5. This structure is made possible by the absence of a defined optical path and features lean carbon arms driven by a pair of rotary motors that move the cutting head on the XY plane in small steps. Dynamics are up to 5g, as offered by linear motors, but on account of the light weight, energy consumption and running costs are cut and kept competitive.
