The 550 BEAMDIRECTOR® is a 5-axis machine designed to drill cut and weld the surface of medium size parts with a hybrid, motion system. The part moves in X, Y and rotary, while the beam moves in Z and tilt. A compact wrist, specialized nozzles for increased accessibility, and user-friendliness, are its main features. CO2 and Nd:YAG compatible.

The 550 BEAMDIRECTOR® is typically used in the aerospace, job shop and general manufacturing industries as an ideal system for drilling processing engine nozzle guide vanes and combustors, as well as fine cutting of 3D parts.

The 550 BEAMDIRECTOR® is a field proven laser system operating 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, in aerospace and other equally demanding manufacturing industries.
