Piranha fiber LASER metal cutting machines are built with reliability and economy in mind. These tough machines use proven technology to ensure precision and reliability throughout their service life. This special combination of durability and cost efficiency provides maximum value for steel processors.
NOTE: Piranha E-Series LASERs come with an axial blower fan to remove smoke and particles from the enclosure. Best performance is obtained by including the optional dust collector for steel or aluminum cutting.
Piranha E-series LASERs include a graphical CNC control with Cypcut software. It is a control system and software designed for sheet metal fabrication. Individual or multiple parts are imported as DXF files and can be nested automatically or manually. No knowledge of G- and M-codes is required.
Cypcut software is available as a free download and can be installed on any number of computers for offline programming at no additional cost. The completed nests can be directly transferred to the LASER CNC control via a network connection.

*NOTE: When cutting at or near the maximum material thickness for each process, it may be necessary to compensate for variations in material chemistry, surface condition, and thickness deviation from lot to lot. Some situations may require the use of LASER-grade materials.
| GAS | PURITY | CONSUMPTION |
| Oxygen (Mild Steel Cutting) | 99.95% | 40 ~ 350 scfh @ 140 PSI 19 ~ 165 L/min @ 9.5 Bar |
| Nitrogen (Stainless, Aluminum Cutting) | 99.8% | 320 ~ 3000 scfh @ 300 PSI 150 ~ 1400 L/min @ 20 Bar |
NOTE: Customer shall install and utilize bulk liquid and bulk liquid nitrogen storage tanks. Using portable tanks for O2 or N2 will create additional chances of contamination entering the gas supply lines and the cutting head due to frequent tank changes. Contamination will cause cutting head lens failure and thus cause machine down time and additional operating expense.

NOTE: Transformers are available for other voltages. Contact Piranha for more information.
The Piranha E-510 must be located in an area which has the following ambient conditions:
NOTE: Piranha requires that the LASER and chiller remain on at all times to avoid costly damage from condensation.
No special foundation is needed for the Piranha LASER. Standard concrete floors of a minimum 150mm (6”) depth are recommended. Flatness should be within 12mm (0.5”). There should be no expansion joints, saw cuts, or cracks in the floor beneath the frame of the LASER.

The Remote CNC Control Station is located at the rear of the LASER enclosure and includes dual monitors and a keyboard. The main CNC control screen and video feed is mirrored. This system allows for LASER operation when loading or unloading the pallets.
Piranha recommends an optics servicing area to be located away from manufacturing areas. This area must have minimum air movement and a dust free environment. For best results, we recommend purchase of a laminar flow box located in an office area.
NOTE: Optics contamination is the leading cause of premature cutting head failure. It is important that optics, such as cover slides, are changed in an extremely clean environment. This area will also be used for on-site cutting head maintenance (to be done by our technicians).
CNC Programming of the Piranha LASER requires CAM software capable of supporting the advanced functions of the machine. The customer is responsible for all costs associated with the development of any new post processor from their selected CAM software vendor. Piranha will provide any information required for the post processor development and will verify that the NC code samples created by that post processor are functional. Requests for information and NC code samples for testing must be received by Piranha eight (8) weeks prior to the scheduled machine shipment.
If extra start-up time is required by Piranha to work with the CAM provider and to test the NC code during or after the machine installation, the additional Piranha service time and expenses will be invoiced to the customer at Piranha’s standard service rates.
Oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2) are the most common assist gases used when cutting metals with a fiber LASER. Air is a combination of both O2 (21%) and N2 (78%), small amounts of argon and carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gases and water vapor.
Air cutting provides many of the benefits of N2 cutting along with increased cutting speeds in thicknesses 10ga (0.135″) and thinner and significantly lower cutting gas costs.
Air used in LASER cutting must be available with the correct purity, dryness, pressure, and flow. Typical shop air compressor systems are unable to deliver the air quality and performance necessary. A dedicated air compressor system is required.

Nitrogen generator is the separation of air components to capture nitrogen. Nitrogen makes up 78% of the gas in the atmosphere. The rest is 20.9% oxygen, 0.9% argon, 0.03% carbon dioxide and trace gases such as hydrogen, helium, neon, krypton, and xenon. For industrial laser cutting equipment, PRESSURE SWING ABSORPTION (PSA) is used to provide the high pressures and flow rates required.
NOTE: The maximum flow rate and purity required depend upon the cutting application and edge quality expectations. Other nitrogen generation systems are available to meet different requirements. Please contact Piranha for more information.

TOPSINN TODC-6L
A TopSinn 6-filter TODC-6L dust collector is available in lieu of the standard fume exhaust fan. The TODC‑6L features include
SPARK ARRESTING SYSTEM FOR CUTTING ALUMINUM
The standard dust collector supplied with the machine is adequate for mild steel and stainless steel cutting. A spark arresting system can be installed between the laser and dust collector to enhance dust collection safety when cutting aluminum. The TODC-6L dust collector is required for this option.
Piranha suggests that you and your insurance provider review the pertinent NFPA standards prior to making any decision about aluminum dust collection and handling methods when cutting both aluminum and steel/stainless steel on the same machine. Pertinent NFPA standards include, but are not limited to, NFPA 484, NFPA 654 and NFPA 68.
