    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...

    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...

    Starting out on a Prima Platino

    Teleservice is free, it is an internet connection to the machine/control and we can diagnose many things from the control. The Service Dept has instructions on setting it up and logging in. I would investigate NC Express as soon as you can. It is a software product developed in 1998 by...

    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...
