Punch/Laser Combination

One of our newer machines is a Trumpf 1000 Combination Laser Punch Press with a Load/Unload automation. The machine takes up to a 5′ x 10′ sheet of steel, aluminum, galvanized or copper.

The machine uses Punching tools to make holes, formed features, tapping and countersinking. Then a Laser cuts curved edges and the outline of the part. The best of both worlds.

Stacks of material are forklifted into the automation section. Suction cups pick up the material and load it onto the brush table. The material is clamped and then either punched or laser cut. Smaller parts fall down a programmable chute where-as larger parts are pulled out using clamps.
