Laser texturing machine handles larger parts

Lasertec 400 Shape DMG Mori's Lasertec machines use lasers to create textures on injection molds, including specialized textures that impart different degrees of gloss, or scratch-resistant or water-resistant properties to the parts the molds create. With its five-axis gantry design, the machines can laser-texture large and complex molds.

What’s new? A larger work envelope. The Lasertec 400 Shape is the largest model in the line and has upgraded optics that increase its speed.

Benefits High-speed texturing. The machine’s scanner and digital measuring systems ensure it maintains accuracy, even with travel rates as high as 16.4 feet per second in the X, Y and Z directions. The machine is manufactured with a single-piece casting, offering thermal stability of the platform without requiring a dedicated foundation or for it to be encapsulated in a climate-controlled room. Workpieces can be loaded from above with a crane, which helps cut setup times to a minimum.
