The fiber laser does the job about 2.5 times faster than the old machine. It also uses less energy and gas.
“The new fiber laser cuts parts from steel and metal plates up to 25 millimeters thick,” explains Fred Anton Alvestad, Technical Manager at Møre Trafo.
The fiber laser replaces a 20-year-old mirror laser machine. The new machine does the job about 2.5 times faster than the old one. It also uses less energy and gas.
“We’re still training on the new fiber laser, but we strongly believe it will be a very good investment to streamline production of parts for transformers and substations,” says Fred Anton Alvestad.
