COIL FED LASER BLANKING

Production flexibility and lower cost per part

Fagor Arrasate's laser blanking system combines a fiber laser cutting machine with an automatic metal coil feeding system.

The laser blanking line provides finished laser-cut parts directly from a coil, resulting in more flexible and efficient production. Compared with traditional blank-fed laser cutting systems, it offers major advantages, such as raw material savings through greater material efficiency, consistent production rates, and a lower cost per part.

Laser cutting technology also significantly reduces energy consumption compared with other alternatives, such as press blanking lines.

  • Ability to process complex blanks without geometric constraints.
  • Easy reorganization of production programs.
  • Reduced production processes: From raw material to finished part in a single system. Drastic reduction in human intervention and work-in-process inventory.
  • Greater adaptability: Ability to produce any part at any time. A coil-fed laser solution enables users to manage unexpected production stoppages and respond more quickly to continuously changing customer demands.
  • Multi-material capability: Laser cutting is not limited by material strength. It can process steel (Usibor, AHSS, ...), stainless steel, and aluminum.
  • Reduced production costs:
    • Fully optimized material use; scrap is reduced by approximately 10% compared with conventional blanking.
    • Die design, purchasing, and maintenance costs are eliminated.
    • Lower energy consumption.
  • Reduced installation costs: Significant savings in foundation costs; no pits are required for the loop or press. High-bay buildings with heavy-duty overhead cranes are not required. This makes the installation more modular and transportable if it ever needs to be relocated.
  • Reduced production maintenance: Significant savings; complex die maintenance work is avoided, maintenance operations are simple, downtime is shorter, and consumables are less expensive.
  • Reduced space requirements: Significant floor space savings. Die storage is not required.

LEVELING

The leveling process helps ensure that the final product is free of defects and internal stresses that may appear in the material after cutting. Fagor Arrasate's straighteners and levelers are designed for a wide range of thicknesses and yield strengths. Our Leveling Setting Assistant helps operators select the correct settings in each case to achieve excellent leveling quality.

CUTTING SIMULATOR

Fagor Arrasate has developed its own advanced cutting simulation software to optimize the following operations:

  • Preparation of blank nesting and calculation of productivity and material utilization rates.
  • Organization of cutting operations among the different laser heads.
  • Generation of CNC programs and communication with the HMI.

All these tasks can be performed offline, which means there is no downtime during production changeovers.

Laser-Blanking_Multiple-heads

MULTIPLE HEADS

Multiple heads can be integrated into the laser cell. The modular design allows configurations with 1, 2, or even 3 laser heads in a row. The workload is distributed among the different heads, increasing productivity rates and making the cutting process more efficient. To maintain optimal cutting quality, the laser is equipped with different control systems.
