THE LASER SOLUTIONS


The evolution in performances, productivity, efficiency and user friendliness in three-dimensional cutting and welding

Since its introduction in 1992 RAPIDO has always been at the cutting edge in 3D laser processing. PRIMA INDUSTRIE has introduced new versions over the years to meet and often anticipate demands from the industry. Today RAPIDO EVOLUZIONE is setting new targets.

Faster linear axes (acceleration up to 1.4 g), direct-drive head with highly dynamic operation (1.5 revs per second, acceleration 60 rad/s2), new C axis with stroke of ± 10 mm and record-breaking acceleration of 4 g. The result is a drastic reduction in the times and, as a result, production costs.

RAPIDO EVOLUZIONE has longer strokes (4080 x 1520 x 765 mm) and therefore the sizes and type of components that can be processed have increased. Thanks to the extensively tried-and-tested tool replacement system, each specific application is tackled in the best possible way.

The Safe Impact Protection System (SIPS), with full detachment of the head in the event of accidental impact, prevents damage to the machine, parts and equipment and ensures immediate restarting of production.

RAPIDO EVOLUZIONE main features:
  • Flying optics: the workpiece remains fixed throughout the work process
  • Adaptive C-adaptive axis with capacitive sensor (± 10 mm stroke; 4 g acceleration)
  • Integrated unitized structure
  • Low shop floor space requirements
  • 3-side full accessibility for easy loading/unloading, programming and maintenance
  • Easy and quick installation: no foundations necessary
  • Automatic protection cabin: total safety, optimal fumes extraction efficiency innovative design
  • SIPS: safety couplings to protect the head in the event of an impact
  • High pressure cutting kit and gas switching
