Mitsubishi Electric to Launch ‘CV Series’ of 3D CO2 Laser Processing Systems for Cutting CFRP
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (Tokyo:6503) will launch two new CV Series models of 3D CO2 laser processing systems on October 18. These systems, featuring a unique orthogonal structure CO2 laser oscillator, will enable the efficient mass production of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) used in the automotive sector. The new models address previous processing challenges, including high costs and low productivity, facilitating higher-quality outputs. This innovation supports the automotive industry's push for lightweight materials, reducing CO2 emissions and environmental impact.
- Launch of two new CV Series models targeting increased productivity in CFRP processing.
- World-first technology integrating oscillator and amplifier, enhancing operational efficiency.
- Addresses current industry demand for lightweight, high-strength materials in automobiles.
- Reduces environmental waste and supports sustainable production initiatives.
- None.
The world’s first unique orthogonal structure CO2 laser oscillator will facilitate the mass production of CFRP products
In recent years, there have been increased calls in the automobile industry for reductions in CO2 emissions, improved fuel efficiency, and more lightweight materials enabling greater cruising ranges. This is driving the increasing demand for CFRP, which is a relatively new material. On the other hand, CFRP processing using existing technology has had issues such as high operating costs, low productivity and issues with waste treatment. A new processing method was required.
Mitsubishi Electric’s CV Series will overcome these challenges by achieving high productivity and processing quality far superior to existing processing methods helping to facilitate the mass production of CFRP products at a level that was hitherto unachievable. In addition, the new series will help to reduce the environmental burden by such means as a reduction in waste, thereby contributing to the realization of a sustainable society.
