A Turret + Laser Combi Machine combines the capabilities of a CNC turret punch press and laser cutting system. The punching system can handle repetitive holes, perforations, forming, and other tool-based operations, while the laser provides flexibility for complex profiles and contours.
Modern punch-laser combination technology can also perform operations such as extrusion and tapping, reducing the requirement for separate secondary processes.
Over the past 25 years, manufacturing has changed significantly. Technology has evolved, customer expectations have increased and precision requirements have become more demanding.
The major advantage of this technology is its ability to perform multiple operations without repeatedly transferring the component between machines.
Depending on the component design, the process can include:
High-speed punching and perforations
Forming and embossing
Extrusion operations
Tapping and threaded holes
Precision laser cutting
Complex external profiles
By combining these processes, manufacturers can reduce material handling, setup requirements, and secondary operations.
Components requiring punching, forming, tapping, and laser cutting can be processed with fewer machine transfers. This can simplify the overall production workflow.
Combining multiple manufacturing operations into one setup can reduce handling and process time, making the technology particularly useful for components with mixed requirements.
Fewer transfers between machines can help maintain dimensional consistency and reduce opportunities for handling-related errors.
Reducing secondary operations, setups, and material movement can contribute to lower overall production costs, particularly for complex sheet metal components.
