How Punch/Laser Combos Boost Sheet Metal Efficiency

As outlined by The Fabricator in the article “Optimizing the punch/laser cutting combination machine”, automated punch/laser combo machines have become essential tools for modern fabrication shops—offering unmatched versatility in punching, forming, tapping, and laser cutting operations. 

Unlike traditional blanking methods, punch/laser combos are equipped to handle complex part production with integrated automation. These systems can not only process intricate designs but also manage the removal of parts, slugs, and internal cutouts with advanced features like suction grippers and chutes. Finished blanks are stacked automatically, while internal features are sent down separate paths—streamlining the entire production cycle.
