Be Careful When Choosing Your Coil Laser

Comparison of coil laser cutting technologies on the market and what to look out for!

Coil Laser vs. Sheet Laser: Fundamental Differences

When it comes to laser sheet metal processing, it’s essential to distinguish between technologies that work from sheets and those that work directly from coils. Coil laser cutting, like that offered by Dallan’s LXN system, offers numerous advantages, especially for those working with long parts or seeking maximum raw material optimization.

With the LXN coil laser:

  • You can save over 20% of material, especially on long parts.

  • You can produce parts up to 20 meters long, while a sheet laser is usually limited to 3 or 6 meters.

  • You can feed roll forming lines continuously, cutting to size without interruptions.

The Problem with “Basic” Technologies: Beware of Fixed Y-Axis Laser Heads

Not all coil lasers are the same. Some simpler systems have serious technological limitations because:

  • The laser head moves only along the Y-axis.

  • The material is moved back and forth along the X-axis using rollers.

  • Each repositioning results in a loss of accuracy.

  • When producing multiple adjacent strips from a wide coil, the material must be continuously moved, creating noise, slowdowns, and potential damage to the strip.

Dallan’s LXN: A Superior, Truly “Lean” Technology

Dallan’s LXN system operates in a radically different way:

  • The cutting head moves in both X and Y axes up to 3 meters, while the coil remains stationary.

  • Repositioning is minimized, increasing part precision.

  • Dallan’s patented vision system ensures 0.1 mm accuracy even when cutting strips from coils.

  • The edge of the strip can be used as a processing reference, eliminating waste.

⚠️ Some non-European competitors are attempting to imitate this technology, but with poor results and, in some cases, outright patent infringement attempts.

Parametric Production: A Dallan Exclusive

Another strength of the LXN system is the introduction of parametric production, exclusive to Dallan:

  • Programming without using CAD-CAM.

  • Use of mathematical formulas and parameters to define product families.

  • Simple and efficient, perfect for producing kits and dimensional variants of the same product.

This approach increases efficiency, reduces errors, and simplifies production management.

When to Choose the LXN Coil Laser

If your production requires:

  • ✅ Maximum speed

  • ✅ Maximum precision

  • ✅ Production of parts up to 20 meters long

  • ✅ Parametric flexibility for product families

…then the choice is practically mandatory: Dallan’s LXN is the ideal solution.
