ELC 160 – Maximun Flexibility – From A Single Parts to Series Production. The ELC 160 is a modular system that can be configured to fit a wide range
of production processes. The three-axis NC machining module is the heart of the system, and the stationary process modules are mounted to the base. Parts are loaded into the spindle and then moved to the individual stations where stationary components machine the workpiece. The ELC 160 is also available as a DUO version if the part output is required. In the DUO format the stations can be operated independently so different parts can be produced at the same time. The ELC 160 can be equipped with all the various laser technologies. Whether it is CO₂ lasers or solid-state systems (fiber,
discs) – anything is possible. The ELC 160 was designed for either manual or automatic loading (using gantry loader or industrial robots) which allows you to customize based on your production concept. The ELC 160 can be fitted with multiple
joining stations and welding units, or counter bearings. The retooling process is NC-controlled which means that different part families can be produced without manual retooling. This leads to major cost reductions and eliminates destructive
component testing.
