A lot of the cost in a typical manufacturing operation lies in the assembly of the product being manufactured, whether it’s labor or an automated system that’s doing the work. A Mazak Optonics laser cutting system – especially a 3D machine like a SpaceGear or a FabriGear – has the potential to not only reduce assembly time in a manufacturing operation, but streamline design and improve many other areas as well.

The Mazak Mark III Laser Cutting Machine
Mazak’s new STX Mark III laser cutting machine is a flexible, rugged workhorse designed to offer significant technical advantages and standard features for a variety of material types and thicknesses.
The NEW STX Mark III is built on the industries most reliable laser platform.
The Mark III laser has been designed utilizing Mazak’s proven hybrid platform with easy access table. It features a proprietary vibration dampening frame and integrated laser resonator that ensure stable, high accuracy cutting. The constant-beam length construction provides uniform cutting performance across the machine table.
It incorporates leading edge laser technology.
The STX Mark III laser cutting machine uses many features developed for Mazak’s Hyper series machines. They include intelligent setup functions for automated nozzle spatter removal, a three station nozzle changer and focal point measurement and adjustment capability. These special features are found within the Opti-Pod described on the left. The Mark III also incorporates a new Servo Focus Torch. This servo driven system significantly reduces piercing time and increases productivity. Additional new technology includes a High Accuracy Auto Centering Lens and Nozzle design that further reduces setup and increases productivity.
Mazak’s new Opti-Pod offers 3 automated setup features that help minimize preparation time and improve extended unattended operation. These are intelligent functions designed to both automate and help maintain optimized machining conditions for increased productivity.
Nozzle Spatter Removal
Maximizes the time between necessary operator intervention.
Nozzle Changer
Automatically loads the correct nozzle for the material being cut.
Focal Point Measurement & Adjustment
Measures focal point and compensates for lens contamination.

J&N Metal Products LLC has been on the fast track since opening its doors in July 2006. At that time, President Jordan Brown expected to work out of his basement for six months to a year and perhaps buy a laser machine in two years. The enterprise did better than expected and before eight months passed, J&N was in a new building, had seven employees and had purchased a Super Turbo-X Champion hybrid laser from Mazak Optonics Corp.
