COIL FED LASER BLANKING

The advantages of laser cutting applied to sheet metal coils

Laser blanking system combines a fiber laser cutting machine with an automatic metal coil feeding system, resulting in an efficient coil fed laser cutting solution.

The laser blanking line provides finished laser cut parts directly from a coil, resulting in a more flexible and efficient production. It offers many advantages compared to blank fed systems thanks to the use of a coil, such as savings on raw material due to its better material efficiency, consistent work rates and a lower cost per part.

Laser blanking technology also reduces power consumption compared to alternatives such as press lines.

Some of the main benefits obtained from the use of the coil fed laser blanking solution are:

Maximum flexibility

  • Ability to process complex blanks without geometrical constraints.
  • Easily change the organisation of the production programs.
  • Reduction of Production Processes: From raw material to finished part in a single system. Drastic reduction of human intervention and intermediate stocks.
  • Increased adaptability: Capability to produce any part at any moment. A coil fed laser solution enables the user to face unexpected production stops and to react faster to continuously changing customer demands.
  • Material mix: Laser cutting is not conditioned by the material strength. It can process Steel (Usibor, AHSS, …), Stainless Steel and Aluminum.

Cost reduction due to the absence of a die and the use of a coil feeding system

  • Reduction of production costs:
    • Fully optimised use of material; the amount of scrap is reduced, around 10% against conventional blanking.
    • Die design and purchase costs are eliminated.
    • Lower energy consumption among others.
  • Reduced cost of installation: Significant savings in foundation costs; no pits for the loop and press required. No need for high bay workshops with heavy load overhead cranes. All this makes this kind of installation more modular & transportable If at some point there is a need to relocate it.
  • Reduced production maintenance: Big savings; complex die maintenance jobs are avoided, simple maintenance operations, less dow3ntime and not so costly consumables.
  • Reduction of space: Huge space saving. Die storage is not required.
