New Laser Brilliance Video/CD

A new video is now available on the Finn-Power Laser Brilliance FMC. The Laser Brilliance combines the unique turret punch press with the latest generation of CO2 lasers. The Triagon CO2 laser, up to 3300 Watts of power, is integrated into the Laser Brilliance to allow you to manufacture faster, more economically and using a wider range of sheet material than any alternative solution on the market.

As increasing emphasis is placed on the cost-effectiveness of capital expenditures, Flexible Manufacturing Cell, "FMC" solutions have become the popular choice and fastest growing strategy implemented by major sheet metal manufacturers. The FMC strategy can technologically and economically satisfy the requirements of an extensive range of manufacturing scenarios - from cost effective small batch and prototype production through sophisticated production runs.

Finn-Power Solution

The combination of a very long X traverse, four clamps and the extremely high positioning speed allowed by linear drives means that more functions - punching, forming, tapping, marking and laser cutting - can be performed flexibly as a single multi-purpose work stage and with a single clamping.

In the Laser Brilliance, the inherent process dwell times, present in most integrated manufacturing solutions has either been eliminated or reduced to the barest minimum.

There is no need for re-clamping and sheet positioning is extremely fast. A major contributing factor is the fact that many operations are performed simultaneously.

Depending on component geometry, manufacturing time reduction of 30-60% has been recorded in comparison with traditional manufacturing solutions.

Accuracy

Accuracy is retained at a very high level during laser cutting due to no need for re-clamping. In addition to speed, linear drives ensure excellent positioning accuracy and consequently, accuracy in each work stage is maintained.

Turret Punch Press

The LB-6 Laser Brilliance package is as follows:

  • Turret punch press with 60" 'Y' axis and 250" 'X' axis.
  • 3300 Watt CO2 laser with cutting speed up to 787" / minute.
  • LD-3000/1 loader which will load 60"x120" full size standard sheets.

The LB-8 Laser Brilliance package is as follows:

  • Turret punch press with 60" 'Y' axis and 268" 'X' axis.
  • 3300 Watt CO2 laser with cutting speed up to 787" / minute.
  • LD-3000/1 loader which will load 60"x120" full size standard sheets.
