LOW COST, COMPACT, PRECISION LASER CUTTING

If you’re searching for an industrial laser-cutting machine that is affordable, compact, and precise, the Photon FLEX is the perfect choice.

Designed and engineered with British precision, the Photon FLEX exceeds expectations in every aspect. Its small footprint, measuring just 4.8m x 2.8m, gets you more out of your square footage. It seamlessly fits into even the most space-restricted workshops, optimising your layout without compromising productivity or capacity.

Despite its small size, the Photon FLEX handles sheet sizes up to 3m x 1.5m, showing industrial laser-cutting machines deliver on performance while leaving you room to extend your other operations.

However, the Photon FLEX offers much more than just compact precision.

With a strong focus on user-friendliness, operators of all skill levels can effortlessly interact with the machine. The Photon FLEX features many innovative and intuitive features, including LiveNest™, LiveControl™, and LiveGuard™. These integrated systems enhance operational efficiency, minimise waste, and provide real-time control and safety measures.

If you’re interested in experiencing the capabilities of our Photon FLEX compact laser cutting machine first-hand, and meeting our expert team, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We would be delighted to welcome you to our Nottingham factory and provide a comprehensive demo.

LiveNest™ vision system

Transform your operator’s cutting experience with Esprit’s LiveNest™. It visually projects the nest onto the plate, ensuring optimal nesting and minimising errors before initiating the cutting process. The recognition capability identifies a full plate, enabling the automatic positioning of a nest with a single touch. It’s user-friendly and technologically advanced, enhancing efficiency and accuracy.

LiveControl™ CNC

Adding parts to a nest used to be time-consuming. With LiveControl™, operators can extract a single item from a previous job directly at the CNC and manually nest it, even on leftover material. This feature streamlines the process, reduces time and material wastage, and ensures uninterrupted production flow.

LiveGuard™ anti-collision

Ensure safety with LiveGuard™. It provides collision risk assessment and options to proceed, choose a safer cutting path, or add tags. LiveGuard™ engages an automatic collision stop function during cutting, prioritising safety and precision.

Made in Britain, Made to Last

The Photon FLEX is proudly designed and manufactured in the UK. It’s a machine you can rely on, built to the highest standards by our skilled team of engineers and technicians. Expect exceptional performance, durability, and reliability from every Photon FLEX.

REUSING ELECTRICITY TO SAVE COSTS

We understand that minimising operating costs is crucial for businesses. While high-performance Fiber lasers are more efficient than CO2 lasers, Esprit has taken a further innovative step to help you drastically reduce energy costs. Fiber laser machines consume a lot of electricity during acceleration, but kinetic energy is typically lost as heat during deceleration.

Introducing Esprit’s LiveRegen™ technology. The Photon FLEX harnesses this excess energy, temporarily storing it to power the machine’s next acceleration. LiveRegen™ optimises energy usage and significantly reduces your electricity bill. Esprit’s LiveRegen™ technology helps you save costs by reusing electricity that would otherwise be wasted. Experience the benefits with the Photon FLEX and enjoy substantial energy cost savings.

ENHANCED EFFICIENCY AND SAFETY IN PLATE LOADING

Enhanced efficiency and safety in plate loading is crucial in industrial metal cutting. Esprit understands the challenges of manual handling – time-consuming, costly, and safety risks.

Introducing LiveLock™, a feature addressing these issues. It secures Photon FLEX’s loading tray automatically during loading/unloading or for cutting.

LiveLock™ enables direct loading via automation or forklift, boosting productivity, reducing costs, and ensuring safety by eliminating accidental dislodgement of the pallet during loading and unloading operations.

EXEMPLARY BRITISH SERVICE

The Photon FLEX stands out as an exceptional product exclusively designed and manufactured in the UK. It represents the culmination of innovative British engineering, expert workmanship, and a strong commitment to local production ingrained in our company ethos.

“You couldn’t make a laser cutter that compact. The Photon Flex is just a brilliant machine. The CNC – it’s literally child’s play, it takes you half an hour and you’re away cutting. I bought local and British because I wanted someone who would look after me. Esprit’s service has been even better than expected.”

Paul Fletcher

Managing Director, HTF Stainless Steel Fabrication Ltd

We’ve been dealing with Esprit both on the plasma and laser side for more than 6 years.

We’ve recently invested in our second Photon laser cutting machine (15kW) by Esprit and we would highly recommend them to other metal workers.
