OAE Series Questions
What thickness can the OAE3015 cut?
With the 3 kW source, the OAE3015 cuts carbon steel up to 16 mm, stainless steel up to 8 mm and aluminium up to 6 mm. The 6 kW source increases this to 22 mm carbon steel, 16 mm stainless steel and 12 mm aluminium. See the cut parameters above for production cutting speeds.
What power supply does the OAE3015 need?
Both versions run on 380 V AC three-phase 50 Hz. The 3 kW machine is rated at 24 kW with a 46 A input current (60 A breaker recommended). The 6 kW machine is rated at 39 kW with an 83 A input current (100 A breaker recommended). These figures exclude the air compressor.
Which cutting gases does the OAE3015 use?
Compressed air at 16 bar, nitrogen at 18 – 23 bar and oxygen at 3 – 6 bar. An optional 15 kW, 16 bar air compressor with dryer is available.
What is the difference between the OAE and OA Series?
Both are open bed sheet lasers with the same 3048 × 1524 mm working area. The OAE uses a Raytools BM110 head, XC3000S control and Innovance motors (1.0 g, 100 m/min). The OA Series steps up to a BOCI BLT310 auto-focus head, FSCUT 2000E control and Bochu servos (2.0 g, 200 m/min) for higher-volume production.
Do you install the machine and train operators?
Yes. ORSON LASER assists with installation and commissioning, trains your operators on machine operation, cutting parameters and maintenance, and provides ongoing technical support and advice on cutting consumables.
