Byspeed or Prima Zaphiro
Did you ever buy a laser? I work for Prima, so small commercial. The Zaphiro has a great resonator (we build in Massachusetts) and it has a magnetic turbine to greatly reduce maintenance. It has adaptive optics, BUT it is the Frame/Foundation that makes it a rather good laser. The base is a...- palms

Trumpf 1030 vs Bystronic Byspeed 2.2 vs Amada Alpha 4
take a look at Prima. Very low operating costs if that is a concern. Made simpler than the competition, so it is EASY to maintain. Less mirrors and such than the competition. comes in a 3,4,5 kilowatt model and fiber. But fiber is expensive up front, but if energy is a big concern, you should...- palms

Fast (5,511 IPM), low energy costs (mitz is high), no rack n pinion drives, and open on 3 sides so you can run odd parts and full size sheets without a shuttle table. And, no special foundation needed (save $$$). 2 year...- palms

Prima or Trumpf for a new laser ???
Just so you know, I work for Prima, so my answer may be obvious. both are good in the automotive market, they are the leaders. I would say there is 1 Key Feature and we do not even make it. It is the IPG Photonics Fiber Resonator. It is the most SIMPLE (easy to own and operate) resonator on the...- palms
