Why Should Laser Cutting Machines Be Paired With Automation?

Why should the laser cutting machine be equipped with automation?Many friends are thinking about what help the laser machine with feeding automation can bring to the enterprise. Today, let's discuss this issue with everyone.

The hazards of laser cutting machine without automation

1.Unstable and unsafe operation process

First of all, most factories still use handheld electric hoist vacuum suction cups to load materials, and the raw materials are placed directly next to the laser machine. This is the current situation of most factories. Because the handheld electric hoist vacuum suction cup is handheld, it will be unstable during operation and very unsafe. Because of the shaking and the use of vacuum suction cups, there may be oil or rust on the surface of the steel plate, and there is a risk of steel plate falling. In addition, the greater the thickness of the steel plate during transportation, the greater the risk factor.

2.The workshop is chaotic and inefficient

Secondly, the placement of materials is limited by the lifting height of the forklift, and a large amount of materials occupy the limited space of the workshop, making the workshop chaotic. From the perspective of the enterprise, it is impossible to maximize the use of the workshop area, resulting in an invisible waste of costs. At the same time, a large number of steel plates or waste materials are mixed and placed throughout the workshop, which is contrary to the 6S management of the workshop.

The benefits of laser cutting machine with automation

1.Save space and improve work efficiency

Therefore, if we place a laser automatic loading and unloading system next to the laser, and then match it with a tower material warehouse, the material stacking height can be raised to the height of the factory building, and it does not exceed the machine tool platform. It is conceivable that the stacking of materials, including the distinction of types and sizes, from procurement and receipt, warehouse warehousing statistics, to workshop self-selection, each link can improve the company's efficiency, and at the same time greatly improve the 6S management level of the workshop.

2.Energy saving and environmental protection and improved safety factor

All materials are placed in the material warehouse, the loading port is prepared at a fixed position, and the laser automatically takes the material, which can maximize the production efficiency and safety factor. There is basically no process of forklifts moving materials back and forth in the workshop, which also saves the energy consumption and maintenance of the forklift itself. Energy saving and emission reduction are also the common goals of all enterprises to save costs and improve efficiency.

3.Reducing labor costs

The laser automatic loading and unloading system, as the name implies, is used for loading and unloading, which can save the number of workers to the maximum extent and reduce labor intensity. People get tired. Instead of being bound by various systems, it is better to let machines do it. Machines are most suitable for repetitive and continuous work. Instead of spending manpower to do these repetitive and unskilled physical labor, it is better to let machines that cannot stop to complete it. The saved personnel can be assigned to other positions where they are needed. Let's calculate that a laser machine normally requires at least 2 people/shift, and a laser machine requires 6 people/day. With the material warehouse, we only need one person every day to take care of the machine tool tool change program, and he does not need to do too much physical labor. Even if you need to work at night, you only need one more person, because the machine has completed the repetitive loading and unloading work, and it doesn't know how to rest when it is tired. At the same time, the production management department can calculate the workload completed today by the time of each program and the number of cut plates, so as to achieve the two purposes of early production scheduling and later statistical accounting. The saved employees can sort and organize the cut plates in the material warehouse during the day, which does not affect the normal production rhythm of the laser machine at all. Only when the machine is working all the time means that the company is generating benefits, so the work that is not related to the machine itself should be completed elsewhere.

At the same time, normal laser loading and unloading systems will be equipped with automatic sorting systems, which can grab larger workpieces and place them directly in the designated location, reducing the workload of subsequent sorting. At the same time, subsequent equipment can be used to directly transfer the workpieces completed by laser unloading to the workstations of subsequent processes to realize smart factories.

In the final analysis, automation is inevitable. Those who first break through traditional concepts, improve technology, and improve production efficiency will definitely be able to better occupy the market and expand their influence. How to give people a first impression is nothing more than the appearance of the hardware. Society is progressing, and we are all in it in 2025. Improvement is an inevitable choice for every company.
