Laser & Punching

The next generation of punch/laser technology, the EML-NT, combines the high punching speed and forming flexibility of the innovative Electric Motor (EM) turret punch press with the unlimited shape cutting capabilities of a laser. This results in a machine that requires minimum setups and affords extremely quick turnarounds, making it ideal for the high production of short-run sheet metal parts, particularly those that incorporate forming or have many holes.

Laser Cutting

Laser cutting machines can accurately produce complex exterior contours. The laser beam is typically 0.2 mm (0.008 in) diameter at the cutting surface.

The CNC process can produce internal and features external complex features easily. Laser cutting takes direct input in the form of electronic data from a CAD drawing to produce flat form parts of great complexity.

Materials & Thicknesses:

Mild Steel (300WA, HR, CR, etc.)
Galvanized Sheets
Nitrogen / Oxygen cut
0.5 – 20 mm
0.5 – 3 mm
Stainless Steel (316, 304, 430, etc.)
Nitrogen / Oxygen cut
0.5 – 12 mm
Aluminum
Nitrogen / Oxygen cut / Air cut
0.5 – 10 mm

Punching

Punching offers flexible manufacturing runs without high capital expenditure dies and stamping presses. High volumes are not required to justify the use of this equipment.

The process is very flexible in being able to produce many different configurations of parts due to the modular nature of the tooling employed. New technologies and our wide range of tooling allow most complex part configurations to be produced in the most economical way possible.
