May we help?

What makes the ALFlak MAX 250 different from the standard ALFlak models?
The ALFlak MAX 250 has a 2700 mm laser arm deflection, compared with approx. 1400–1500 mm on the standard ALFlak models, and a working height from 510 mm to 1870 mm. This long reach lets operators weld large moulds, pressing tools and machine components with minimal repositioning of the machine.
What type of laser does the ALFlak MAX 250 use?
It uses a 250 W Nd:YAG laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm, operating in pulsed mode. It delivers 9 kW peak pulse power and 90 J pulse energy, with pulse durations of 0.5–20 ms, frequencies from single pulse to 100 Hz and an adjustable power curve within each laser pulse.
How is the welding process observed and controlled?
The ALFlak MAX 250 has a Leica microscope attachment with 10× eyepieces (16× optional) for observing the weld. It is operated through a display with membrane keyboard and a multifunctional footswitch, and supports WINLaserNC software through an external PC.
What optional accessories are available for the ALFlak MAX 250?
Optional accessories include a turn-and-tilt objective, a rotary axis module with chuck, a camera system for welding process observation and an Ergo wedge. Final machine configuration and accessories are confirmed at the time of order.
