Fonon Corporation, a diverse holding company with expertise in research and development, equipment design, and manufacturing of advanced laser material processing systems for both subtractive and additive manufacturing, underscores the significance of its laser cutting technologies in defense industry applications.
Addressing the specific needs of manufacturers within the defense sector, Fonon proudly introduces the Titan FX Laser Cutting System as a precision solution for metal cutting. The Titan FX stands out as a versatile flatbed fiber laser cutting system, available in various sizes, offering high-performance capabilities at a competitive cost. Notably, it excels in cutting highly reflective metals, which are prevalent in defense manufacturing.
The defense industry extensively employs highly reflective metals in diverse applications ranging from transportation and ballistics to protective gear components. Commonly utilized metals include titanium, aluminum, stainless steel, and nickel.
Titanium alloys, renowned for their exceptional strength, lightweight nature, corrosion resistance, and high impact resilience, find extensive use in critical defense applications such as armored vehicles, aircraft engines, pressure tanks, and missiles. However, titanium’s significant reflectivity in the infrared spectrum poses challenges for laser processing.
Fonon addresses these challenges effectively with its Titan laser cutting series, capable of seamlessly processing a wide range of metals and materials, including highly reflective ones like titanium. The Titan systems feature a back-reflection isolator that shields the laser source from reflected light, ensuring reliable performance.
Key features of the Titan FX include CleanCut technology, minimizing the heat-affected zone for enhanced material integrity; an advanced direct drive motion control platform for smoother operation and reduced vibration; and low power consumption compared to similar industrial laser cutters.
The Titan FX boasts easy maintenance with no optical system alignment or laser delivery system upkeep required. It incorporates software-controlled mechanical geometry alignment, simplifying installation. Additionally, its fully enclosed Class I laser design ensures operator safety by preventing harmful radiation from escaping.
Beyond defense manufacturing, the Titan FX finds applications in naval operations for processing marine-grade aluminum and copper alloys, as well as in aerospace for working with lightweight specialty metal components. Compliant with regulations and user-friendly, the Titan FX ensures operational excellence across various industries.
