As laser and metal cutting technologies evolve toward higher speed, precision, and automation, machine builders require integrated motion systems that deliver accuracy, stability, and versatility. HIWIN Group—offering a full range of linear motion components, drives, robots, and rotary tables—supports manufacturers in building advanced laser and cutting machines for various industries.
Comprehensive Solutions for Laser Cutting & Engraving
HIWIN’s components are widely used in various laser platforms, from compact engraving systems to high-power laser cutting machines.
General-purpose Laser Processing Machines
General-purpose laser processing machines demand high positioning accuracy, smooth motion, and repeatability for applications such as engraving, marking, and light-duty cutting. These systems require compact structure, fast response, and excellent durability to operate efficiently over long periods.
- Ballscrews offer high positioning accuracy and long service life, supporting precise axial movement with low driving torque.
- Linear Guideways provide smooth linear motion with equal load capacity in all directions, enabling consistent path accuracy and rigidity.
5-axis Laser Processing Systems
5-axis laser processing systems are designed for complex angled cutting, commonly used in applications such as sheet metal and tubular components. These machines demand multi-axis coordination, precise rotary positioning, high rigidity, and long-term reliability.
The HIWIN RAB-500 Torque Motor Rotary Table, widely applied in high-precision automation equipment, offers key features that support advanced laser processing needs:
- Direct drive torque motor design with zero backlash and fast response, enabling high-precision and high-resolution continuous rotation and positioning
- Provides stable and repeatable rotary motion, allowing the laser head to adjust angles freely for bevel, slanted, and curved surface processing
- Enhances the flexibility of laser cutting, especially in multi-angle sheet metal and complex tubing applications
With HIWIN’s high-performance rotary table, 5-axis laser systems can increase machining flexibility, improve process efficiency, and ensure consistent quality, making it an essential motion solution for high-end laser fabrication.
Laser Cutting Machines
- Linear motors provide high-acceleration, smooth linear travel for X and Y axes, making them ideal for large laser cutting platforms. These motors support fast, precise motion control over long strokes, critical for processing sheet metal and large workpieces with tight tolerances.
- Single-Axis-Robot modules are used for movement of the laser head, delivering compact design, high rigidity, and excellent repeatability. These modules ensure stable vertical positioning and control of laser focus, enhancing cutting accuracy and surface quality.
- DATORKER® Strain Wave Gear delivers zero-backlash, high-torque rotary motion with high precision and rigidity. With angular accuracy less than 1 arc-min and long service life, it is ideal for rotational cutting in laser and plasma systems, ensuring stability and precision in complex profiling.
Full HIWIN-brand integration across all axes—linear and rotary—ensures system supply-chain consistency, and long-term performance stability for machine builders worldwide.
Metal welding automation demands high precision, stability, and flexibility to handle various materials and part conditions. HIWIN’s Welding Robotic System supports low-spatter, pulse, and digital welding modes. It can weld carbon steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, and even aluminum alloys—meeting diverse metal processing needs. The robot offers high rigidity and multi-axes movement, while the RAB Rotary Table allows for complex welding motions. A laser weld-tracking system is also available to correct path deviations and improve yield.
This smart integration is ideal for high-precision metal processing and laser cutting, boosting both productivity and quality.
