FB500 Laser cutting and engraving machine

The FB 500 is our most compact laser cutting and engraving machine, though it still features the same high speed precision and build quality of our larger machines. Combining versatility and performance to allow production on a vast number of materials it is ideal for small businesses and education environments.

Cutting speeds of 600 mm/sec (36m/min) and 2G acceleration provided by closed loop servo motors combined with the ApS-Ethos control software make the FB500 the complete production unit. Our rastering software for creating onto surfaces such as wood or plastics is included We use a sealed CO2 air cooled laser, which is a certified Class 1 laser product, being interlocked and fully enclosed while cutting. This machine is available with a 30watt laser or a 50watt.

The FB500 can cut a wide variety of materials like acrylic, mdf, ply, cardboard and paper. You can also engrave and raster images onto surfaces such as wood and plastic. The control of cutting is so accurate you can engrave onto paper. The air irrigation system attached to the cutting head sends a stream of air or inert gas to the point of cut, this enables you to achieve a consistently clean cut.

The laser is controlled by the cutting software that is included with this machine. The material manager allows you to store a wide range of materials, so you can instantly change from one material to another. Adjustments may be made to the cutting speed and the power so a fine, clean, accurate depth of cut may be achieved.

This compact machine is designed to wheel through a 810mm doorway. When you purchase a laser cutting machine from CadCam Technology Ltd we automatically include installation and training. Visit our site in Nottingham for a demonstration of our laser cutting machines.

Feeds rolled material through the cutting bed. A tray beneath catches the cutouts or can be fitted with an air blade. This option is perfect for cutting large format fabrics

Shuttle bed system

Allows loading and unloading of material while the laser continues to cut.

Laser cutting machine multipoint cutting

Electronic optical system

An innovative product to help streamline your production or provide a solution to problems that previously meant having to turn work away. With our optical laser cutting system you can cut very precisely; woven, printed or embroidered badges or designs. Our own special software continously checks registration points in the design and automatically adjusts the pre drawn shape for distortion or rotation and will cut out your design quickly with the finest quality cut.
