    Why do you need a plasma table if you have that?

    Hector - thats ONE Hell-of-a-TOY! And I thought yu we'rethinking of some small time manufacturing! Awesome! ANd congradts on the fine accquisition(s)! - Jim
    BTW what sort of projects in the offing?

    Experience is the BEST Teacher. Is that why it usually arrives in a shower of sparks, flash of light, loud bang, a cloud of smoke, AND -- a BILL to pay? You usually get it -- just after you need it.

    This equipment was purchased used, you could get a similar laser in the 150K figure...but you have to add all the infraestructure, chiller, oxygen, etc...
    I saw a couple of weeks ago on ebay a similar punch press for around 20k, but all depends on the condition of a used equipment, and to this you have to add the tools....

    Hey Hector,

    Kidding aside, how hard do you think it would be to build a laser in the 2kw range? Frame your answer supposing that the laser and power supply was purchased off the shelf, and the construction project would then involve cnc mechanisms, optics, cooling, and ventilation.

    I'm building a 100w CO2 project, and it seems like the hardest part is cooling. How is it done in the big leagues?

    Never mine, that part I will leave it for companies like amada. The guy that repairs the laser and give the mantinance, not kidding doesn't speak english I'm trying to figure out how he learn al the stuff he knows...he is like a guru maybe he could build one...he has 16 years cutting with a laser 8 hours a day
    a does cnc coding in his head...for me I'll just try building a small air cooled laser If I had to.
    The cooling part of the laser is a enormous chiller and very expensive one. If the laser costs x amount just do a 2x for the rest of the infrastructure needed to run it
    Regards,
    Hector

    Most lasers have a water jacket, that should be sufficient for a 100w laser? You can run the water threw a radiator with a fan.

    Hector,

    Nice toys..

    I want to ask some questions.

    1. How is the performance of the amada laser?

    2. Did you consider buying a trumpf laser?

    3. What are the common problems of the amada laser?

    4. Is the maintenance of the machine expensive?

    Thanks!

    Regards!

    *Drools* I want one! I want one. Very nice!

    Would love to see piccies of it in operation... bet you can't wait!

    I love deadlines- I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

    Regarding your next acquisition plans, why not buy a 7x20 TRumpf Laser with 5000 watts, that machine can eaily cut 1 inch steel. I currently operate an L6030s, which is Trumpf's 7x20 laser in 4000 watts, I have personally cut 3/4 inch steel with this machine. It is slow with that kind of thickness, but the cut quality is superb.
