@FabtechExpo SESSIONS EDUCATE & INFORM
When it comes to the latest technologies metal forming, fabricating & welding, #FABTECH18 is where it’s at. @Lasercoil's own Jay Finn will be taking part in #CoilProcessing education session on Wed, Nov. 7 from 8-10am in room B316

According to @DuckerWorldwide, steel accounts for about 53% of the material in a typical automobile and aluminum 11%. You can read more at https://t.co/gSIGzBRxLK. Good news is that LaserCoil systems can laser cut from coil to produce the highest quality blanks

#FABRICATING FOR DUMMIES BOOK JUST RELEASED
Author/freelance writer Kip Hansen released “Fabricating for Dummies” & we’re proud to say that a @LaserCoil blanking system is in the section on Power Shears & using lasers for #lasercutting coil stock page 61. Buy this book on Amazon!

LASERCOIL BLANKING FLEXIBILITY: CUT IN MULTIPLE MODES
Our experience has taught us that not all parts run faster in continuous mode. Depending upon the contour of the part 15–20% can run faster in feed index mode.

#LASERCUTTING CAN HELP MAXIMIZE MATERIAL USE
Advanced high strength & ultra-high strength steels provide many benefits but can also cost more. Cutting capability of lasers with software enable #laserblanking systems to maximize raw material usage & reduce scrap costs

[LaserCoil @LaserCoil]

LASERS ARE MATERIAL AGNOSTIC
With an in-house, coil-fed laser blanker, you can easily change coil materials from aluminum to advanced steels, from mild steel to ultra-high strength steels, all on the same equipment without requiring any new tooling.

THE LATEST IN MANUFACTURING AUTOMOTIVE BODY COMPONENTS
Our very own Jay Finn, Chief Technology Officer will be presenting on the flexibility & efficiency that #laser #blanking from continuous coil stock can bring to manufacturers at the IABC Dearborn Conference on September 19-20

[LaserCoil @LaserCoil]

HOW ARE YOU HANDLING MODEL CHANGES?
Vehicle models require tooling and dies for each body panel. Dies take a long, long time to produce whereas laser blanking can accommodate a new model in half a day or less. Might be time to re-think your blanking operations

A COMPETITIVE MANUFACTURING CHOICE
Laser cutting direct from coil stock provides a fast/flexible approach to blanking that is well-suited for production environments running multiple blank profiles & mixed material types.

ENHANCING COIL BLANKING SYSTEM SPEED WITH NEW LASER HEADS
We’ve increased the cutting speed & power of our #laser #blanking systems by introducing 8kW fiber lasers. Systems can be sold with a single 8kW laser or with multiple heads, allowing a shared balancing of the cutting

WE CAN HELP WITH THESE MANUFACTURING METRICS
If you’re looking for ways to improve your blanking operations, a coil-fed laser blanking system may be just what you need. Contact us to find out exactly how we can affect each of these metrics.

2 HEADS ARE BETTER THAN 1, ESPECIALLY IF THEY RUN INDEPENDENTLY
If you’re looking to gain speed, remember that a #laser #blanking line can accommodate multiple cutting heads, two lasers are common, but more are available on custom machine configurations

So, What About Floor Space?
Depending on your feeding/stacking choices, you may reduce the footprint. The system at our technical center, which features traditional coil feeding equipment & manual stacking, is about 90 x 45 sq. ft. Each system size is variable

OPTIMAL MATERIAL YIELD OR FASTEST SPEED? ITS YOUR CHOICE
#Laser #blanking systems offer you the flexibility to run equipment based upon your needs. If material usage is your number one requirement, the cutting speed may slow down to achieve the most optimal nesting pattern

[LaserCoil @LaserCoil]

STACK IT YOUR WAY WITH LASERCOIL
At @LaserCoil, we let you have it your way. Our systems easily incorporate end-of-line robotic stacking or you can choose conventional, or even manual stacking if that works better for your operations.

LASERCOIL SYSTEMS CAN RETRO-FIT TO EXISTING EQUIPMENT
One of the advantages of Lasercoil's coil-fed #laser #blanking system is that it can retrofit to your existing equipment. Our equipment is designed to interface with anyone’s coil equipment or end of line stacker.
