Great news at the beginning of the year 2020! The company Citynox based in Alès (30) has just chosen our brand, EAGLE laser, for his next fiber laser investment. A choice that was made for our brand for its capacity for innovation, its rapid evolution worldwide and the intrinsic performance of our machines.
Indeed, today, EAGLE is present in many countries throughout Europe, but also across the Atlantic with already 4 15kW machines in the USA!
A high-performance fibre laser machine for an ambitious project
Citynox, as its name suggests, is a company specialising in working with stainless steel in all its forms. It is moreover one of the most respected French companies in this field. In order to be even more flexible with regard to the requests of its customers, the company is able to create everything with stainless steel. No project is too complex for their teams! Thanks to this expertise acquired over 4 generations, they respond to the different actors and creators of urban spaces: architects, designers or installers...
As part of a major project, the company needed to invest in new laser cutting equipment. Of course, in order to remain in a constant innovation of its means of production, the company logically turned to fiber laser technology. Moreover, the choice of a high cutting dynamics was an indispensable variable for the manager of the company Citynox: "Eagle was our preferred choice, because Citynox must always remain at the forefront of production technologies, and Eagle is the leader in this field. Eagle is to cutting lasers what Tesla is to cars. »
With this in mind, Citynox chose the iNspire range, with an acceleration capacity of nearly 6G and a cutting speed of up to 150mm/min.
Finally, in order to optimize production capacity, it was important to combine this high dynamic with power adapted to the volumes of parts to be produced. The aim was to optimize the cost of this project. Following multiple strategic reflections, the 8kW power was chosen. It will therefore be the most powerful machine installed in France to date for our brand!
Flexibility, EAGLE Laser's core competence
Given the scope and multiple deadlines of the project, it was important for Citynox to be able to count on the production of this new laser machine starting in April 2020! A delay of only 2 months for manufacturing, delivery and installation.
A challenge that is entirely possible, thanks to a clear improvement in the manufacturing lead times of our machines. Indeed, the worldwide success of the group has enabled the EAGLE teams to double the production plant at the headquarters in Walcz, Poland. We are now able to offer lead times twice as fast compared to 2019, i.e. a machine put into production in only 2 to 3 months. Of course, these lead times may vary slightly, depending on the configuration chosen for the machine.
