Heavy duty laser profiler works through the night
Palletisation and latest control and diagnostics systems enable laser profiling system to cut dumper truck parts under 'lights out' conditions.
Two laser heads are three times better than one
In theory a twin-head laser profiler produces double the output of a 'normal' single-head machine.
Except in this case, it is around three times as productive!
Indeed the TC1000, shown for the first time in the UK at MACH 2006, has the same process credentials as higher-end Trumatics including three-dimensional forming and tapping.
Regular investment in the latest technology has secured Adept Precision Sheetmetal a healthy customer-base for fine tolerance fabrication.
Primarily serving the lighting and medical equipment sectors, this Hampshire-based subcontractor has found that Trumpf machines best suit its need for repeatable precision.
Since the 1980s the company has bought a succession of Trumpf models including the Minimatic, the TC120 and TC200 punch presses as well as TrumaBend V85 press brakes.
True to form, Adept Precision Sheetmetal is now replacing its TC200 punch presses with two TC1000s.
By the end of April the TC1000 machines will be installed at the company's Whitchurch factory, occupying the same footprint as their predecessors but providing far greater production potential.
"Keeping up to date with technology is an important component in our success," explained Ken Lock.
"And all the Trumpf machines we have installed here have given us that edge." Having made the decision to replace the TC200s the very latest small punch press from Trumpf was the obvious choice for Adept Precision Sheetmetal.
"In addition to saving us programming time, we will be able to complete more processes on one machine set-up," Lock concluded. Request a free brochure from Trumpf ...
"The machines will save us time and ensure our cost-competitiveness.".
