The latest in Beam Dynamics' Lumen DCC
line of computer-controlled laser cutters is
the DCC-9000-PA for unattended loading
and cutting. The 9000-PA offers the same
features as the company's 9000 unit”?a 4
x 4-ft vacuum cutting bed; registration to
within 0.001 in.; speeds up to 2000 in./min;
and the ability to simultaneously perform
kiss cuts, through cuts, and engraving.

The DCC-9000-PA can handle a wide
variety of materials (thickness depends
on material: 0.75 in. for acrylic, 0.11 in.
for stainless steel, and 1 in. for wood). The
