LVD launches MOVit line of laser automation systems

LVD launches MOVit, a comprehensive range of automation systems, including the new TAS (Tower Automation System) and WAS (Warehouse Automation System) for LVD Phoenix and Electra laser cutting machines. MOVit systems also include LVD's Compact Tower (CT-L), Flexible Automation (FA-L) and Load-Assist (LA).

New tower and warehouse systems

MOVit TAS is a single or dual tower storage system that can be integrated into up to two laser cutting machines. This tower system offers 16 different configuration options for 3015, 4020 and 6020 laser machine sizes.

MOVit WAS offers a custom number of towers, with a minimum of three, in single or double row configurations. Each pallet has a load capacity of 3 or 5 tons and a stack height of 90 mm. Multiple laser cutting machines can be connected to the system using integrated loading and unloading equipment. Output stations can be added to the WAS system to move the cut sheets to a sorting area or further feed sorted parts to other machines, such as press brakes. WAS is available for the 3015- and 4020-size laser machines.

Both TAS and WAS offer the possibility of unloading directly on the machine(s). Cut sheets are unloaded onto a third table, where the parts are sorted and prepared for further processing.

Our automation systems feature highly flexible configuration options. They are designed to maintain constant material flow, uninterrupted production and efficient arrangement of plates and parts. Standard TAS and WAS configurations allow for completely manless production as finished sheets are moved to available storage areas.
