Modular and Configurable, The Next Generation of Industrial Metal Additive Manufacturing
For over two decades, LENS technology has set the standard for high quality Industrial metal additive manufacturing. The all new LENS 600 and LENS 800 Atmosphere Controlled systems build on that proud heritage with state of the art advancements. At the heart of LENS Additive Manufacturing systems is the new configurable LENS Deposition Head (LDH) consisting of two main modules. The laser beam processing module provides interchangeable optics enabling a wide range of in focus spot sizes and is water cooled for high power applications. The powder delivery module incorporates an
interface mechanism enabling fast change-over of powder delivery nozzles to easily switch the process from precision deposition to cladding applications.
The LENS 800 and LENS 600 Additive Manufacturing systems offer hermetically sealed chambers and closed loop atmosphere controls protecting the build environment from moisture and oxygen contamination down to less than 10 ppm to meet industry’s most demanding metal additive manufacturing applications. Both LENS systems are designed to maximize the LENS process build envelope while minimizing chamber volume and system footprint. The base LENS machines are equipped with a 3-linear axis motion system, but optionally can be delivered with a user interchangeable rotary table and/or tilt-rotate trunnion for 4 and 5 axis operations. The Siemens motion controller provides an easy to use push button HMI and utilizes industry standard G&M codes to drive the system. Optional material starter recipes, closed loop process controls, thermal imaging, 5 axis tool path generation software, and unparalleled customer service round out the LENS 800 and LENS 600 Additive Manufacturing Controlled Atmosphere offering.
