Coil fed laser machine systems such as coil fed laser cutting machine and blanking machine systems are new technology production lines in metal industry. Coil fed laser systems are becoming popular at the moment in modern industry.
As Technic Machines, we provide different solutions for coil fed machine systems, such as coil fed laser cutting machine and coil fed laser blanking machine system.
If we would like to explain shortly to coil fed laser cutting machine, it is a process where a laser is used to cut sheet metals directly from a metal coil. So, traditional laser cutting methods are rely on already cut sheets. On the other hand, at coil fed laser cutting machine, feeding the laser from directly coil is allowing us for having seamless and faster production. So, coil fed laser is increasing efficiency and reducing downtime. Moreover, as the typical laser, coil fed laser cutter has several other advantages with compare of old systems.
The main working mentality of coil fed laser blanking system is cutting out the specific shapes or “blanks” as continuously from sheet metal coil. So, the coil fed laser blanking process is giving specially advantage at mass production. Which means it can supply big quantity of production for identical parts faster, without tooling investment or time loosing. Coil fed laser blanking system is avoiding the tooling investment cost or time loosing during tool production as coil fed laser cutter.
If we consider the coil fed laser machine systems as new technology, of course coil fed machine systems have some key functions. Also these functions are not exist at typical coil feeding machine systems or typical laser cutting machine systems.
Continuously Sheet Coil Feeding:
The coil fed laser machine is designed to work on continuous sheet metal from coil. Which means that there’s no need to stop and reload sheets as typical lasers. It helps to have a much smoother and faster production process.
High-Speed Laser Cutting:
We design our machines according to our customers demand, for high capacity or economical solutions. With the help of our design, we provide the speed with rapid cutting and without sacrificing precision cutting results.
Precision Laser Cutting:
Coil-Fed systems provide capability as the other laser cutting technologies, which ensures the cutting the sheet metals with even the most complex geometries. Also it provides the extreme accuracy, which is minimizing the need for second process at sheet metal cutting process.
Minimum Scrap Value:
One of the main advantage of coil fed laser cutting system is the reducing the sheet metal scrap volume. So, with the help of feeding from coil, the coil fed laser cutting machine can optimize cutting for using almost all the part of sheet metal.
Flexibility in Material Handling:
Coil fed laser cutter machines can handle different types of sheet metal types, such as different metals and thicknesses. So, coil fed laser blanking and cutting systems provide flexibility for different manufacturing needs.
Entegration with Automation:
To improve enhance efficiency on coil fed laser machine systems, our coil fed machines can work with automation systems. Such as robotic arms, stacking system and conveyors. Coil fed machines are providing a streamlined production process from start to finish.
Accuracy and Repeatability:
Coil fed laser blanking and cutting machines use the most advanced laser technology. So that, we can ensure that each material will be with exact accuracy and exact repeatability.
Shorter Setup Time:
As we know that traditional laser cutting systems require stops for material reloading. On the other hand, coil fed laser cutting systems operate continuously, which is reducing start-up time and increasing production capacity.
Cost Effective:
With the help of optimizing material use and minimizing scrap, coil fed laser machines provide significant advantage on production cost. Also coil fed laser machine systems is helping to avoid the tooling investment.
High-Quality Results:
If we compare the coil fed laser systems with older sheet metal working systems. Clearly, coil fed laser cutting provide cleaner edges and exact measurements. At the end, coil fed system reduce the need for additional final processes.
Scalability:
One of the most important advantage of coil fed laser machine system is, it doesn’t matter to work with small quantity order or a large quantity, coil fed laser cutting machines will meet your production needs without compromising on quality. Avoiding the tooling investment is helping to work easily with small batch orders also high productivity is helping to match with bulk orders.
Continuity in Quality:
Having the continuity on final product results is pretty easy with coil fed laser systems. With the help of the precision work results of laser technology, which ensures that each final cut is identical. It is crucial for providing quality in bulk or small batch production numbers.
Lower Maintenance:
If we compare the traditional machines which work with mechanical processes, coil fed laser machine systems have less moving parts. As a result, lower moving parts helps to lower maintenance requirements and of course provide longer machine life.
Environmental Effect:
Technology and working mentality on coil fed laser machines is helping to minimize the scrap volume and lowering the energy consumption, if we compare with traditional systems. Coil fed laser machines are eco-friendly solutions and helping to reduce manufacturer’s environmental footprint.
Basically “coil fed laser cutting machine” and “coil fed laser blanking machine” pretty similar. But they are two different coil fed laser metal working systems which process metal coils.
Let us explain shortly the main differences.
Coil fed laser cutting machine’s design for working continuously cut metal sheets from a coil of material as coil fed laser blanking system. So, coil fed laser cutting machines are pretty flexible and it use for cutting a wide range of shapes or patterns from the sheet metal. It provides high customization for different industries. Such as automotive, aerospace, and general metal fabrication. Basically, it is ideal for production of multiple different parts from the same sheet of metal in a continuous process.
Coil fed laser blanking system’s design for cutting flat blanks as cut to length line. Or it is for cutting desired shapes from directly sheet metal coils. The meaning of “blanking” here is describing to the process of cutting out flat sheet metal with desired length or shapes. Which will be used in later production steps, such as stamping or forming and etc. So, coil fed laser blanking system’s design is for production of large quantities of the same sheet metal blank form. Coil fed laser blanking systems are generally used in high-volume production requirements for the same part needs to be produced continuously. So, coil fed laser blanking process is pretty common in the automotive industry for production of brackets, body panels. Or other standardized parts for other industries which will be processed after.
Specialization differences of blanking and cutting system,
Coil fed laser cutting machines are more versatile, which allows for a variety of cuts. In the mean time, coil fed laser blanking systems are for more specialized production process, which focused on production of large quantities of identical sheet metal blanks.
End using differences of blanking and cutting system,
As a result, coil fed cutter machine is commonly used for general fabrication and custom metal part production. In the other hand coil fed blanking machines are commonly used for having high production volume, where is consistent and repeatable parts are needed. As a result, we want to provide short information for the the main differences. Coil fed cutter machines are for more flexible and various cutting operations. And coil fed laser blanking machines are more for high production volume, standardized production for specific sheet metal blank shapes.
Coil fed laser cutting machine is suitable for continuous coil-fed laser cutting system. It is feasible for working from sheet coil to coil fed laser system and can have precision cutting result with high productivity and flexibility .
Coil fed laser blanking machine systems is providing great flexibility with high production results. If we compare with traditional sheet metal working process, coil fed laser machine systems are providing great advantages.
