European Fiber Laser Cutting Machine with High Performance and Compact Design
Steelburner Hyperion E is a modern fiber laser cutting machine combining high precision, robust construction and efficient production with an attractive price-to-performance ratio. Designed, engineered and manufactured in Europe, the machine is an excellent choice for companies seeking a reliable solution for industrial sheet metal processing.
Hyperion E is available in two working formats, 3015 and 4020, with laser power options ranging from 1 to 4 kW. With positioning speeds of up to 100 m/min, acceleration of 1.5G and an automatic shuttle table, the machine delivers efficient laser cutting performance in a compact design.
Robust Construction and Compact Design
Hyperion E features a fully welded machine frame made from high-grade steel with a closed-section structure. The frame is stress-relieved through annealing and precision-machined to ensure stability and high accuracy during operation.
The moving components are manufactured from high-strength aluminium alloy. The lightweight yet rigid gantry design, inspired by aerospace engineering principles, enables rapid movements and precise processing, even when cutting complex contours.
The laser source, cooling system and other essential components are integrated into the machine structure. This compact, all-in-one solution reduces floor space requirements and simplifies installation. According to the manufacturer, installation can be completed in as little as one day under favourable conditions.
Precitec Cutting Head and Advanced Gas Control
Hyperion E is equipped with a Precitec laser cutting head featuring fast automatic focus adjustment and precise distance control relative to the material surface. The cutting head is designed to operate with high assist gas pressures, enabling the processing of various materials and sheet thicknesses.
As standard, the machine features an automatic three-gas selection system and a proportional gas pressure valve with a regulation accuracy of 0.1 bar. Operators can select the assist gas and adjust the pressure directly through the CNC material database.
Efficient Material Handling with Automatic Shuttle Table
Hyperion E comes as standard with a motorised dual-pallet shuttle table controlled directly by the CNC system. With a table exchange time of approximately 40 seconds, the next sheet can be prepared while the machine is cutting.
This reduces downtime between cutting jobs and contributes to a more efficient production workflow.
User-Friendly CNC Control and Process Monitoring
The machine features a PC-based CNC control system using EtherCAT communication, operated through a 24-inch multi-touch display.
The integrated, customisable material database allows cutting parameters to be stored and recalled for different materials and thicknesses. These parameters include laser power, pulse frequency, assist gas type, gas pressure, focus position and nozzle distance.
An HD camera mounted directly on the cutting head allows operators to monitor the cutting process via a separate 24-inch display. The system also supports network connectivity and remote assistance tools.
