C-205

Zoom

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
