The 795 BEAMDIRECTOR®, a 5-axis laser machine tool, is designed to drill, cut and weld medium to large 3D parts with a unique moving beam motion system. Constructed for high-speed operation without compromising mechanical accuracy, it is the first and only standard built multi-axis laser system to guarantee volumetric accuracy. Typical applications include processing:
- Combustion liners
- Exhaust and heat shield
- Tubing and hydro-formed parts
- Nozzle guide vanes and blades
- Stamped and spun parts
- Tubing and hydro-formed parts
- Automotive prototypes
The 795 BeamDirector is designed to accept CO2 and Nd:YAG lasers for cutting, drilling and welding 2D and 3D parts. These systems are used by aerospace, turbine engine, and contract manufacturing companies that require flexibility of motion and tight tolerances when laser processing. The open frame architecture and moving beam motion system allows the system to be configured to handle parts of virtually unlimited size. Conforms to CDRH rules, CE compliant, and is in use around the world. Features the field proven and time tested direct drive LASERDYNE SYSTEMS BeamDirector® with fully integrated Automatic Focus
Control (AFC™). The 34mm (1.2") clear aperture allows integration of a wide variety of high powered CO2 and Nd:YAG lasers.
The new standard System 94P controller includes dual CPU processors with a configuerable operator interface and a high speed Linx operations system, LPC laser process control software, and single point laser control. Industry leading software has been developed especially for shape hole drilling and contouring of difficult to program parts. Programmable control of unique P50L Nd:YAG laser features, ICT™ and VSM™, makes this the only laser drilling system to offer Adaptive Hole Size Control™.
The 795 BeamDirector is extremely reliable and designed to operate around the clock with minimal maintenance. Servo drives with internal self-diagnostics, armored cables and connectors, air purged optical path and mirrors that are easy to remove for cleaning without need for realignment, all add up to a reliable laser machine giving maximum performance with minimal downtime.

795 BeamDirector standard features:
Rigid structure incorporates a granite base with a heavy-duty steel weldment construction with precision machined surfaces, large diameter, high rigidity ball screws, wide track rails and long bearing cars. - The mass and center of gravity concentrated at floor level with three-point leveling, oversized pads, forklift and eye-bolt lift points.
- Performance is a function of the combined features of speed, accuracy and stability - fast contouring while maintaining 3D accuracy yields smoother cuts on three-dimensional parts.
- Networkable Controller with dual CPUs and Windows XP™ .
- High capacity BeamDirector direct drive design eliminates gears and belts for higher accuracy, allowing greater travel and reach over zero offset style wrists.
- Capable of processing 45° above horizontal.
- Unique, comprehensive crash protection with exclusive 5-year warranty against crash-related damages for the BeamDirector.
- Auto Focus Control (AFC) a unique LASERDYNE concept. All machine axes react to sensing of part surface, creating unlimited "R" axis correction with speed and unmatched sensitivity.
- AutoNormal™ quickly and accurately positions the BeamDirector to any surface.
- Feature Finding™ locates tooling and part reference features.
- In-Fixture Gaging™ verifies correct work piece location.
- Selectable Seek™ allows automatic focus control along a selectable axis - a must for aerospace/turbine part processing.
- System 94P laser process control programs with G and M codes, designed specifically for laser processing, providing integrated laser and motion control.
- Drill at Focus - A suite of features used with systems equipped with the CONVERGENT LASERS P50L laser to insure hole size and critical flow requirements
Options include:
3D CAD/CAM for off-line programming - CDRH Class 1 enclosure for Nd:YAG and CO2 laser use, manual or automatic operated doors, internal lighting and exhaust port (located outside the enclosure).
- Linear scales for XYZ axes to maintain standard accuracy over a wider temperature range.
- HEPA filter fume collector, 14 m3/min (500 CFM) or 42 m3/min (1500 CFM). Ducted to enclosure exhaust port.
- Rotary tables to 762 mm (30") diameter, standard or high precision.
- PresSure™ programmable assist gas pressure.
- Posipulse™ and CylPerf™ software for Nd:YAG laser "drilling on the fly".
- OFC™ Optical Focus control for Nd:YAG LASER systems - a non contact method of measuring for the surface of metallic and non-metallic materials.
- Break Through Detection - BTD™ For Nd:YAG laser systems - determines when breakthrough has occurred in percussion laser drilling and initiates a finish cycle.
