Prima Power has launched its Giga Laser Next, a leap in 3D laser cutting designed for the high-output demands of the automotive industry. With four synchronised laser heads cutting the same part and a dual-station layout that enables parallel loading and unloading, Giga Laser Next is designed to multiply productivity while shrinking occupied space. Made for giga-factories and the high-output production of high-strength steel( HSS) automotive components, Giga Laser Next is Prima Power’ s response to the most urgent demands in the industry.
“ Giga Laser Next is our proprietary solution engineered to directly address the industry’ s most pressing needs: maximizing floor space utilisation and machine uptime for optimal production efficiency, minimising direct labour, managing market volatility and multiple vehicle models, and ensuring short lead times,” said Prima Power.
From its Optimo and Rapido to the ultrafast Laser Next, Prima Power has focused on innovation in 3D laser systems for the automotive industry. It has almost 50 years of experience and a global installation base.
‘ Evolve by Integration’
Giovanni Negri, CEO of Prima Power and Prima Industrie Group, commented:“ A new chapter in 3D laser processing begins today. Giga Laser Next embodies the essence of our strategy:‘ Evolve by Integration’. We have integrated the productivity of four machines into a single compact unit, achieving what was previously thought impossible. This is not just a technological achievement: it’ s a result of listening to our customers and translating their giga-scale ambitions into a tangible solution.”
At the heart of Giga Laser Next is a configuration of four synchronised laser heads working simultaneously on the same part, enabled by an advanced anti-collision system and a robust cartesian structure with retractable arms. The machine operates with typical idle time of around two seconds, with parallel loading / unloading on one station while the process is performed on the other. Its compact 10 x10m footprint is achieved by integrating ancillaries( such as laser sources and chillers) on a mezzanine level, maximizing floor space efficiency.
“ Designed for full automation, Giga Laser Next supports embedded solutions for loading, unloading, quality checks and marking, with the flexibility to connect directly to stamping or assembly lines. It also features a fixture change system, digitaltwin validation and a machine architecture optimised for long-term reliability and minimal maintenance, making it ideal for high-volume production WATCH of automotive stamped and cast parts,” concluded Prima Power. n
