What is Laser Technology?

The manufacturing industry uses laser technology in many ways, including welding, cutting, and drilling by focusing single-frequency light to create high-energy conditions. Laser systems drive automation in modern machinery and can be customised for a broad range of applications and materials.

You can add laser cutting to a wide range of Citizen machines by mounting a laser directly in the work area.

This facilitates speedy, highly accurate machining of thin walled section in a wide variety of materials. In addition to handling thin-walled material, Citizen CNC machines offer the flexibility to machine solid bar conventionally before applying laser operations. Citizen machines produce hole cutting and intricate forms for diverse industries, including medical, automotive, and aerospace.

Available on L12, L20 and L32 models.

Non-contact cutting
  • Non-contact laser removal does not involve tool wear.
  • High accuracy cutting with no deflection force.
  • Machining chips are reduced to dust and easily washed or blown away.
Ultra-fine processing
  • Ultra-fine processing by using a very small diameter laser beam.
  • Very small component features with sharp edges, normally too small for conventional machining can easily be achieved.

Reduce manufacturing cost
  • Laser marking at high speed on one machine.
  • Saving floor space (Use floor space of one machine)
  • Lower price than two machines for each process.
  • Remove cost of consumable cutting tools.
High-precision processing
  • High accuracy by processing without re-grip.
Increased profitability
  • Very high productivity — up to 10 times faster than conventional machining.
  • Increased hourly rate or reduced manufacturing cost

  • Laser oscillator – Variety of fiber laser and CO2 laser. The oscillating type and power is selected by depending on materials and thicknesses.
  • Laser light transfer line – Transfer laser light using optical fibers and mirrors.
  • Laser processing head – Concentrate transferred laser light in apposite size and irradiate to material to melt it.
  • Assist gas – The assist gas is effused coaxially with laser light and achieves cutting by blowing away the melted material. Selection of nitrogen, oxygen or atmosphere depends on the materials.
