The Eagle CraneMaster 1530 is an automatic sheet metal loading and unloading system that integrates with the Eagle iNspire 1530 and eVision 1530 fiber laser cutting machines, not a loader in the traditional sense. The "1530" refers to the working area dimensions of the associated laser cutter, typically 1500mm x 3000mm (approximately 5 ft x 10 ft).
The primary function of the CraneMaster system is to automate the material handling process, improving efficiency by simultaneously loading new sheets and unloading cut parts.
General Specifications of the CraneMaster 1530 System
Function: Automatic loading and unloading of material sheets and cut parts for Eagle 1530 series laser cutters.
Automation Type: Typically uses air suction cups for handling materials.
Integration: Fully integrated with the Eagle CNC control system of the laser machine.
Lift Capacity: The integrated crane (often a Demag unit) has a specific lifting capacity, generally around 1.6 tonnes (1.6 metric tons).
Cycle Time: Designed for the most efficient (shortest) cycle times to support high-volume production.
Configurations: Available in different versions, including a "CraneMaster Store Linear" that integrates with material storage towers for maximum versatility.
Specifications of the Associated Eagle 1530 Laser Machine
The "1530" specifications are more directly tied to the laser cutting machine itself, which the CraneMaster serves.
Working Area: 3000 mm x 1500 mm (approx. 120 inches x 60 inches).
Maximum Sheet Weight: Typically up to 900 kg (1,984 lbs).
Maximum Positioning Speed: Up to 350 m/min (around 13,780 inches/min) (for iNspire models).
Maximum Acceleration: Up to 6G (for iNspire models).
Machine Weight: Approximately 18 to 20 tonnes (depending on the specific laser source and model year).
