Turkish sheet metal specialist , Ermaksan Makine , featured a range of automated and flexible bending technologies , as well as solutions for smart manufacturing , at the Blechexpo / Schweisstec trade show in Stuttgart ( Germany ) in November 2023 .
Featured technologies at the trade show included an automation line ; an automatic cutting and bending system that Ermaksan terms its Flexible Cutting and Bending Line . This integration of its FIBERMAK GEN-5 laser cutting machine with TOWERMAK loading system and the new SPEED BEND PRO press brake , enhanced with robotic applications , has been designed for productivity .
The newly designed FIBERMAK Momentum Gen-5 offers servo motor and 4G acceleration options with an Industry 4.0-compatible 21.5 ” multi-touch control panel . The software has been designed and developed by Ermaksan engineers . Power options range from 2-30 kilowatts . Its door can be fully opened for easy access to the cut sheet for the operator . A digital counter in the corner of the machine shows the percentage completion of the cutting program . It recently won a German Design Award in the ‘ Excellent Product Design ’ category .
The FIBERMAK RAPTOR , with up to 6kW of power , provides 1.5 G acceleration ; 80m / min .
speed ; a single cutting trolley ; auto-focused cutting head and lightened profile body structure . Other laser cutting systems include the HAWK and the Thunderbird . In addition to its standard product portfolio , it also offers turnkey solutions for laser cutting machines in different sizes and configurations .
Ermaksan also introduced the FIBERTUBE cutting machine , equipped with a streamlined pipe-loading section , at the show . From handling pipes ranging from Ø20 to Ø200 to processing square and rectangular profiles , FIBERTUBE caters to applications across various sectors from defence and aerospace to furniture . The fully automatic pipe and profile cutting machine can cut square , rectangular and pipe profiles .
The Diamond Fiber Laser 2 model from Eckert .
Eckert AS Sp . z o . o . is a family-owned company established in 1990 by Tadeusz Eckert in Poland . It has designed an award-winning innovative Piercing Control System ( PCS ) for its Diamond Fiber Laser 2D cutting machine , which substantially reduces piercing time from 10 seconds to two seconds , as well as cutting gas / energy costs . The latest Diamond Fiber Laser 2 model ( power from 1-6kW ) features a piercing control ( PCS ) system which is able to analyse and precisely select piercing time in accordance with the material applied . Linear motors are also options to replace servomotors . Maximum axis positioning speed is 120m / minute .
HSG Laser has just launched its new R2 series two chuck universal tube laser cutting machine . The R2 series comes standard with a simple square and round hole chuck , which supports the cutting of many types of tubes ( such as round tube , square tube , angle steel or channel steel ). Speeds are up to 120m / minute with rotational speed of up to 100r / minute and an acceleration of 1.0G .
