Selective Laser Melting Machine SLM®500 The Selective Laser Melting Machine SLM®500 provides a large build envelope of 500 x 280 x 365 mm³ and the patented multi-beam technology. In the high-performance machine, four fiber lasers (4x 400 W or 4x 700 W) are in action simultaneously, increasing the build-up rate by up to 90 % compared with the twin configuration (2x 400 W or 2x 700 W). The universally usable machine with high productivity is perfectly suited for series production of complex metal parts and it is specifically designed for use in the production environment. An extremely...

To ensure a reliable powder supply to the SLM®500 throughout the entire production process, a modular powder supply unit (PSV) is connected to the machine. The PSV uses a 90-liter powder tank which is sufficient for any production process. Manual filling of powder via individual powder bottles is not necessary. An ultrasonic sieve, which is integrated in the PSV, sieves the available powder just before it is fed into the process so that no oversized particles or foreign objects can find their way into the SLM® process. The transport of powder between the PSV, the SLM® machine and the Part...

Part Removal Station PRS The Part Removal Station PRS is a basic feature of the SLM®500. This useful component of the machine is optimally suited for batch production, and serves for removing the excess powder from the build cylinder and the manufactured parts. Based on the unloading position, the construction cylinder is removed with the handling device, which is also a basic feature from the SLM®500 and transferred to the Part Removal Station PRS. With the use of the PRS, the created metal parts can be ergonomically released from excess powder without any skin contact. The build cylinder...
