GCC S400 at Modico Graphic Systems

The super sports car

Laser cutting at speeds of up to 3.6 metres per second

GCC has once again upheld its reputation as a highly flexible laser specialist. And it is projecting this confidence to the outside world. The Taiwanese company bluntly describes the S400 as the „The very best laser device, exceeding all expectations“ for cutting and engraving a wide variety of materials.

Technologies:

The S400 is designed entirely as an enclosed system. This protects the components inside and ensures that dust emissions to the outside are kept to a minimum. New from GCC: the 4-inch touchscreen. This means the S400 can be positioned slightly away from the computer station, allowing settings to be checked directly at the machine.

The system features Smartvision® Pro CCD – A camera system for automatic registration mark detection. Extremely handy: the camera module is detachable.

Our technicians have put the S400 through its paces and have raised their eyebrows in admiration on more than one occasion. For example, the maximum workpiece height in the S400 is 280 mm. This is a development that many users have been waiting for. The S400 also impresses with its maximum working area: at 1016 mm x 610 mm, it is once again a significant step up on its predecessors, such as those from the Spirit series. The S400 is available with laser power ratings ranging from 30 to 120 watts. An optional adapter for cylindrical engraving is also available.

Particularly impressive: the speed of the S400. Working at speeds of up to 3.6 metres per second, the S400 powers through its tasks whilst promising to maintain the highest level of precision even at top speed. A record-breaking performance that really raised a few eyebrows at the modico test centre.
