Efficient sheet metal processing

There's a bright future for combined punching and laser cutting. Someone firmly convinced of this fact is Jörg Oberschmidt, owner of the company of the same name in the Westphalian town of Westerkappeln. To ensure adequate stiffness in spite of reduced thickness, beads have to be embossed into the sheet metal. At the same time, the costs per part must not rise. "This makes it quite clear that combined punching and laser cutting will be in demand in the future, in order to manufacture effectively. The combination of punching and laser cutting is more vital than ever before." more...

Unfortunately it doesn't exist - a design made up of components without any tolerances at all. You can either accept this with a shrug or develop a nifty product that at least makes it easier to work within industrial realities. Georg Martin GmbH found a solution: laminated sheet metal, that is produced using a TRUMATIC 2000 ROTATION punching machine and a TruMatic 6000 punching and laser cutting machine. more...
