Maximum precision thanks to the Dallan Vision patented vision system
The first Dallan laser systems in 2013 did not include a vision system: they were type II machines and there were Issues linked to precision due to the inability to insert runners inside the machine and in the middle of the fakir bed. So, we decided to completely eliminate the runners and to insert – and patent – a vision system for measuring the position of the coil and the processing in the working area.
It works very simply: once the portion of the coil is fed, the vision system measures the position of the material and compares it to the theoretical position. Then, it automatically applies any corrections by performing the roto-translation of the processing, if necessary, aligning It to the true position of the material.
This simple tool allows:
Processing of long pieces, even lengthier than the size of the machine bed (up to 14 meters) with very high precision
Processing and production using 100% of the material, also using the edge of the coil as the side of the product
Nesting pieces without restrictions or worrying about the length of the sheet: the CAD CAM program automatically adapts the products to the working range of the machine (in this case, infinite length!)
Making perfect joint cuts, even with multiple processing
Laser re-processing pre-punched pieces (which is what allowed us to create the best combined coil-fed line on the market!)
This is one of the elements that make Dallan’s “Coil To Laser” cutting system unique: a true Revolution on the coil-fed processing systems scene.

EFFICIENCY
Traditional sheet-fed laser cutting produces huge amounts of waste
Traditional sheet-fed laser cutting is now so widespread that we almost don’t see its limitations.
The traditional system forces us to nest pieces on a sheet, which is a limited area: the rate of waste often reaches and exceeds 20% of the raw material.
It’s right in front of our eyes when we go into production, to the extent that we hardly notice it anymore and we almost consider it to be normal and inevitable: crates of waste material, the “skeleton” from processing that needs to be managed and then disposed of. Yet, all we need to do is analyze the rate of waste and the raw material purchases of our company in order to understand how much more profitable the whole company would be if we were able to eliminate or even merely reduce that waste – for example, even and above all when expensive materials such as copper and stainless steel are used!
It’s a waste of money and resources, which could instead be turned into cash flow available to your company.
The technology to drastically improve the use of material in laser cutting exists and it’s simple to use and implement.
NEW DESIGN
Breathtaking new design for a revolutionary project.
Inspired by the shapes of supercars, the new design of the Dallan LXN is itself something of a revolution: it reflects the production speed of the line and the many innovations included in the new LXN, such as the patented extraction system and the new vision system, rendered even more precise and reliable.
The latter two are part of many others included on this machine: a rapid replacement system of the fakirs, a special locking system that ensures maximum safety and, of course, a repositioning and measurement system with roto-translation of the programs, already present on LXN lines of previous generations.

DALLAN AUTOMATIONS
What about unloading pieces?
Every company has different needs: often pieces need to be stacked directly off the line (automatic picking and sorting) or perhaps entire sheets are stacked with the parts nested and micro-jointed inside.
Other times, products are moved by rollers and conveyor belts directly to the folding area.
One of the advantages we have is that we can adapt the end-of-line to the best production logistics for the customer thanks to a complete range of stacking systems (Cartesian, anthropomorphic, with removable roller conveyors) and handling systems that are made-to-measure based on your company’s layout.

LONG PART PROCESSING
Laser cutting very long products using the Dallan "Coil To Laser" system.
Using sheet-fed processing, products over three meters in length require a special warehouse and difficult handling: coil-fed laser cutting using a vision system, on the other hand, allows them to be cut directly from a coil to the desired size, optimizing the use of material.
Like CaptiveAire, our American customer who manufactures stainless steel industrial fume hoods, which currently has five of our LXN laser cutting systems in production. The payback of the systems was very fast and calculated exclusively on the savings generated by the optimization of raw material!
The products are very long panels (up to five meters, in this case), which are made side by side using a 1500 mm wide coil. The products are then cut in two repositionings and the joint cuts have to be perfect, even after secondary processing: that’s exactly what the Dallan Vision vision system used in coil-fed processing guarantees.
Thanks to this technology, products can reach up to fourteen meters in length and also be cut continuously so that they can be processed using profiling machines.
That which is extremely complicated and expensive using a sheet-fed system, becomes simple and highly profitable for your company, thanks to perfectly optimized processing, a fully automatic process and pieces made with very high levels of precision!
When it’s necessary to cut very long products, a sheet-fed system offers few alternatives: dramatically extending the dimensions of the sheets in the warehouse in order to try and optimize the product using a sheet with dimensions closest to the finished product each time. In addition, there’s a need for huge, expensive machines with cutting benches over 6-8 meters in length and, in any event, there’s always a limit to the length that can be processed.
Some companies use a coil-fed sheet cutting system to create the measurements each time: however, the problem of the enormous size of the system and the investment remains.
Furthermore, large format sheets are difficult to handle and can be damaged during loading and unloading from the machine! The difficulty of positioning a sheet of this size – of any size, in truth – above a fakir bed should not be underestimated. Not to mention the time taken by this operation and the ensuing costs in terms of automation and personnel.
Also in this case: we’re often used to it, we don’t know the alternatives and we end up continuing to have the problem. Yet the technology for processing large products continuously and automatically, without supervision and using straightforward automation that can be applied immediately, exists, and it’s called coil-fed native laser cutting.
PARAMETRIC PROGRAMMING
Program the machine in an automatic and parametric manner.
So: how do you program a machine like this? If your pieces are repetitive, once you have created the program, you clearly just have to select and repeat it a certain number of times.
However, the market is evolving in a completely different direction. In industrial production, the aim Is to design products to adapt them to standardized materials (where coil Is king), but production often requires the creation of parts from different families, with parametrically variable dimensions.
Normally, CAD drawings would need to be produced for each part, then nested each time in a sheet, creating a different machine program.
Coil-fed processing means there are two very interesting alternatives available.
The first is automatic nesting starting from pre-generated DXF files. This is the solution adopted by CaptiveAire, for example, using a customized software that works as follows: the customer’s CAD software breaks down the kit of panels that make up the product starting from numerical parameters (this is the customer’s CAD software). You drag all the DXF files that make up an assembly kit using the LXN’s CAD CAM software: the program automatically positions them on a portion of the coil and the length of the portion is adapted automatically!
The pieces that make up the kit are then cut and unloaded from the machine in the same panel: that way, the operator is sure to have all the necessary components ready to be folded in order to make a specific hood with customized dimensions!
The second programming option is parametric programming: when products have common characteristics (front and back or holes), as in the case of industrial door and door panels, you can automate the programming of the machine and the generation of job lists without even generating a DXF file: the product parameters and references of the Master programs are passed along to the programming software and the work programs are automatically generated together with the paths of the cutting head.
These two extraordinary programming systems can be used for different types of production: contact our specialists here to check which programming system is best suited to your company!
