The long-awaited commercial product launch of the new machine architecture from Concept Laser, the M LINE FACTORY, took place during the course of formnext powered by TCT 2016.

New M LINE FACTORY is intended to boost 3D metal printing The new laser power meter, QM Cusing Power, now enables the laser power to be measured directly on the build area.

As well as the availability of new precious metal alloys, a new product was also unveiled in the area of the QM modules. Further highlights were the premiere of the Mlab cusing 200R in the small machine segment and the presentation of the X LINE PCG in the large machine segment, as an option for the convenient and secure removal of the powder following the production process. Visitors were able to admire the first results at Concept Laser’s exhibition stand. But the technology leader from Lichtenfels already has a new innovation target in its sights: The machinery and plant manufacturer announced, in a cooperation with Swisslog, a member of the KUKA Group, that it is integrating an automated guided vehicle (AGV) for the automated movement of modules, e.g. This now enables production processes to run in parallel rather than sequentially so that downtimes are considerably reduced and the availability and output quantity of the process chain is thus increased. For the first time, part production as well as set-up and dismantling processes will take place in two independent machine units so that they can be operated physically separate from one another. The commercial launch of the M LINE FACTORY is here.
