2018 Fryer Optomec CM-15 VM w/ Tunnion - Lens 500 Metal 3D Printer

The 2018 Fryer Optomec CM-15 VM with Trunnion and LENS 500 Metal 3D Printer is a cutting-edge hybrid manufacturing system that combines additive and subtractive capabilities. The system features the Optomec LENS 500 Hybrid Controlled Atmosphere System, which incorporates a hermetically sealed Class 1 enclosure and integrated gas purification to maintain oxygen and moisture levels below 40 ppm, ensuring a clean environment for titanium and aluminum metal additive applications. The additive process uses spherical powders ranging from 44 to 149 microns (-100+325 Mesh) for superior results.

Equipped with Optomec LENS Print Engine technology, the machine includes Steadyflow™ powder feeders, a water-cooled LENS processing head, and SmartAM™ closed-loop controls for precise additive builds. The powerful IPG YLR-1000 fiber laser (350W) supports a build envelope of 13.78" x 13.78" x 19.69", while subtractive operations are enabled through a 40-taper spindle with 8,000 RPM and a 10-tool carousel ATC. The 5-axis trunnion system provides exceptional versatility with X, Y, Z movement and rotational motion in A (±90°) and C (360°). Advanced Siemens controls and Optomec software support multi-axis build strategies, seamlessly integrating additive and subtractive operations in a single tool-path.

This machine delivers outstanding precision with a positioning accuracy of ±5.08 µm and repeatability of ±2.50 µm. Equipped with a MARPOSS Mida Probing System, it offers part positioning, tool pre-setting, tool checks, and part measurement capabilities. Additional features include an Optomec PureATM Module for precise gas control, inert gas operation (argon or nitrogen), and advanced dust collection. With robust specifications and innovative features, the Fryer Optomec CM-15 VM is ideal for industries requiring precision machining of titanium and aluminum, such as aerospace, medical, and automotive.
