new state-of-the-art laser cutting
machine at the SCHERDEL sub-
sidiary Hamül Plauen allows the com-
pany to achieve higher standards of
precision and greater efficiency in the
field of mechanical engineering. A high
level of commitment from the staff en-
sured all customer orders were com-
pleted on schedule without delays dur-
ing the conversion phase. Clients also
profit from the higher economic efficien-
cy of the new machine: only one cutting
head is required for all sheet thickness-
es, and the high degree of automation
– e.g. when changing nozzles and
aligning beams – means set-up and
non-productive times are reduced to a
minimum.
As a steel processing specialist,
Hamül Plauen boasts an extensive
product portfolio, ranging from simple
components to intricate welded compo-
nents in single, small and large batch
production runs. High level flexibility is
therefore an essential pillar of produc-
tion to guarantee customer satisfaction.
This criterion is more than fulfilled by
the new laser cutting machine. It is de-
signed to exceed expectations through
outstanding laser power and an opti-
mised operating concept. For instance,
in conjunction with the overall dynamics
of the applied linear drive system, an
integrated pallet changer provides
faster sheet exchange and ensures
quick and reliable operation. A convey-
or belt for removing slag and small
parts reduces downtime for cleaning
and maintenance work. Enhanced soft-
ware functions enable optimum use of
materials while maintaining a continu-
ous high level of throughput. This obvi-
ously also raises efficiency standards
for secondary operations.
The roller and ball-raced flat runners
of the laser cutting machine accommo-
date two different drive models. The
maintenance-free, gearless torque drive
guarantees robust alignment of the X-
axis by producing a high torque output.
The aforementioned linear direct drive
is used for the Y and Z-axis and en-
ables ultra-precise and high-speed con-
trol of the laser unit. Maximum preci-
sion is guaranteed with the new laser
cutting machine thanks to exact spray-
ing of the piercing points to prevent
craters forming; something that can oc-
cur when processing thicker gauge
steel. The laser head is additionally fit-
