Older lasers need help on purchase (bystronic or lvd fanuc)
(OP)
I am looking at purchasing 1999-2001 vintange laser for backup to my newer entry level laser. The choice is between bystronic 4kw and lvd fanuc 4kw laser.
Which machine would be easiest to operator for someone not wanting to pay for a big factory training, I am familiar with the B&R trumpf touchscreen laser.
The lvd is fanic 16L and the bystronic is windows based.
Also can people give me honest reliability and gas consumption on the older fanuc versus bystronic resonators 4kw.
I can't dig out info on the older machines as the mfg's onyl publish new stuff and barely at that.
I am assuming the fanuc will be a major pain to use/learn but be reliable as a tank.

LVD made heavy duty equipment that will last for a long time. Compare the machine weights. I like the fact that the LVD uses a single cylinder (Pre-Mix) of laser gas vs 3 cylinders and a gas mix system for ease of use. The LVD/Fanuc also offered features on the older 16LB control that were well ahead of its time. Part and contour counters to allow the program to be easily restarted at any point on the sheet, real-time adjustment of cutting parameters, edge function (sharp corners), and an excellent custom GUI for maintaining and calibrating machine specific systems.
I can provide laser operator and programmer training at a much lower cost that LVD, plus I have the experience with the older control and systems you are looking at on the LVD. Let me know if I can help.
