Prototype CNC Machine for Laser Cutting of Sheet Metal

The research activities of the Department of Manufacturing Systems at TU of Liberec are related to projecting, designing and construction of prototype CNC machines for laser cutting. The result is a prototype device assembled of standard aluminium profiles using the motion control linear actuator with ball screw.The paper presents the design and construction of the prototype machine. The components and their assembly are described below. The implementation of technical parameters and other options outlined the continued development and application of the equipment is also listed below.
