The C-205 is the most compact 5-axis machine in the C-Series. It is designed for precision cutting and 3D shaping of small workpieces, including aerospace components, semiconductor parts, and diamond tools. It can process a wide variety of materials, from metals and brittle ceramics to ultra-hard materials like diamond and complex composites.
The C-205 is equipped with additional B and C rotary axes, enabling 3D cutting and shaping.
Built on a dedicated CNC platform distinct from Synova's S-Series, the C-Series models are powered by the LMJ technology, which includes the following core components:
- An advanced optical head with a micro-coupling unit,
- A high-power laser source,
- An efficient water pump, and
- A water treatment system.
Materials
Hard materials: Polycrystalline CBN (PcBN), polycrystalline diamond (PCD), monocrystalline diamond (MCD), chemical-vapor-deposition (CVD) diamond, natural diamond (ND), tungsten carbide (WC)
Metals: Stainless steel, gold, Durnico, CuBe, copper, brass, aluminium, shape-memory alloys (Nitinol), titanium, nickel, superalloys etc.
Ceramics: Ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs), silicon carbide (SiC), silicon nitride (SiN), zirconia (ZrO2), HTCC/ LTCC, aluminium nitride (AlN), aluminium oxide (Al2O3)
Operations
5-axis machine: 3D shaping, cutting, drilling, slicing, edge grinding (K-land edges, single or multiple clearance angles), grooving, milling, engraving, turning
Key Benefits
- Sharp and Smooth
- Cylindrical beam resulting in parallel kerfs (no V-shape)
- Smooth cutting surfaces and sharp edges (Ra as low as 0.15 μm)
- Virtually no heat impact thanks to water jet cooling capability
- Fast and Accurate
- Finish cutting of 1.6 mm PCD and cemented carbide in 5 mm/min.
- High mechanical precision with a tolerance of +/- 3 μm
- Very small kerf width (down to 30 μm)
- Clean and Easy
- Clean surfaces, no depositions or burrs
- No or very little post treatment required
- No laser focusing or distance control required
