Comments Off on Planning Tube Laser Infeed and Outfeed Lengths
Tube laser capacity involves more than the diameter or size of section the machine can grip. Raw stock must enter the machine, travel through the cutting process and leave as.. Read More
Comments Off on How Automatic Bundle Loading Works on a Tube Laser
Automatic bundle loading allows a tube laser to take successive lengths from a prepared stock supply. For repeat work, this can reduce the need for an operator to present every.. Read More
Comments Off on Choosing Manual, Semi Automatic or Fully Automatic Tube Loading
Manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic tube loading suit different production patterns. The best arrangement depends on how frequently stock must be loaded, how varied the profiles are and how much.. Read More
Tube laser automation controls how long stock is loaded, held, moved through the cutting process and discharged. It can reduce repeated handling from a prepared supply, but each stage must.. Read More
Comments Off on Choosing Between More Laser Power and More Automation
A higher-power fibre laser can shorten cutting time on suitable work. Automation can reduce the time lost moving material through the machine. Which investment improves output most depends on where.. Read More
Comments Off on Preparing a Fibre Laser for Unattended Cutting
Unattended fibre laser cutting means running a prepared sequence without an operator standing at the machine ready to intervene after every cycle. Automation can make this possible, but the complete.. Read More
Comments Off on Calculating Payback for Automated Laser Loading and Unloading
Automated laser loading and unloading pays for itself when the value it creates exceeds the additional cost of owning and operating it. That value may come from more output, fewer.. Read More
Comments Off on Choosing a Compact Tower or Full Tower for Fibre Laser Cutting
Choosing between a compact tower and a full tower starts with the material you need available at the laser. Both can support automated handling, but they support different practical requirements.. Read More
Comments Off on Benefits of a Fibre Laser Stacking System
A fibre laser stacking system can make production less dependent on an operator returning to the machine after every nest. By organising the loading of raw material and collection of.. Read More
Comments Off on CNC turret punch vs fibre laser for sheet metal fabrication
A CNC turret punch press and a fibre laser can both produce sheet metal components, but they earn their place in different ways. A punch uses dedicated tooling to create.. Read More
Comments Off on Hydraulic vs servo electric CNC turret punch presses
Choosing between a hydraulic and a servo-electric CNC turret punch press is mainly a decision about the punching drive and how it suits your production. Both technologies can position sheet.. Read More
Comments Off on How to choose a CNC punch press for your workshop
The right CNC punch press is the one that can produce your regular work economically while leaving sensible capacity for the jobs you expect next. Buying on tonnage, sheet size.. Read More
