LENS 500 Hybrid Open Atmosphere System
The LENS 500 Hybrid Open Atmosphere System sets a new price to performance standard
for combining additive and subtractive manufacturing in a single machine tool. The
system utilizes Optomec industry proven LENS Print Engine technology seamlessly
integrated into Class 1 Laser Safe CNC platform. The system is ideally suited for
processing stainless and tool steels, nickel-based alloys, cobalt, tungsten and other
non-reactive metals.
Built on a rugged cast iron CNC platform, the system features high precision ball
screws, spindle, and ATC for precision machining operations. Additive functionality
is enabled with integrated Optomec LENS technology including Steadyflow™ powder feeders,
water-cooled LENS processing head with interchangeable powder delivery nozzles, and
SmartAM™ closed-loop controls. A high power fiber laser and advanced Siemens controls
complete the system.
