| Laser cutting
using the most up-to-date technology!
The company MUS-MAX Landmaschinenbau URCH
KG in Groß-St. Florian has recently brought into service
a high-speed laser cutting machine for fine and thick
sheet metal processing.
The TLF 5000 is the second Trumpf laser
cutting machine that is being used by Urch. With a laser performance
of 5 KW and axle accelerations of 200 m/min the machine
is absolutely part of the most modern laser generation. "In
1994 we purchased the first Trump Laser Machine but the daily
production schedules for sheet metal manufacture constantly
present higher requirements for quality and productivity therefore
this new machine was only the logical step into the future",
stated Managing Director Erich Urch when explaining his decision
for the most modern metal working technology.
Fully-automatic sheet metal warehouse
This laser machine is combined with a fully-automatic sheet
metal warehouse. Two storage towers (height 8.4 m) whose total
capacity comprises 65 sheet metal positions (about 170 tonnes
sheet metal) provide the material for the laser machine. "We
have increased the size of the factory by 200 m2 in order
to provide sufficient space for the warehouse" stated
Engineer Robert Urch when describing the construction measures
that had been taken. The data for calling off the sheet metal
lots from the sheet metal warehouse and the identification
numbers for restoring are transferred to the warehouse management
from the master computer on the laser machine. According to
Engineer Robert Urch "This means that the loading and
unloading is carried out fully-automatically and at the same
time the weighing equipment of the warehouse level is corrected
and is always retrievable by the programmers and purchasers".
Automation is inconceivable without an optimum data flow."
The software module Cell-Server and Client ensures the data
transfer between the warehouse, purchasing and the programmer.
