Optimal linking of individual production modules in one plant
With the Modular Laser Cell (MLC), laser cutting or welding technologies can be modularly linked with other manufacturing processes such as bending, punching, embossing and marking. The internal added value can be increased with each module.
Customized modular plant concepts
The MLC functions as a stand-alone system with efficient individual part processing. In the same way, individual manufacturing technologies can be combined to form a complete system. The „flying optics“ concept enables sequential multiple nest machining. Individual manufacturing technologies can be combined in the MLC to form a unit of almost any number and length. The working area can be scaled as required for long components. Integration of one or more processing optics is possible.
Automatable, highly productive and stable processing
Each module is very easily accessible. Automation solutions up to fully autonomous plants can therefore be optimally integrated. At the same time, the interlinking of the plant reduces the internal logistical effort. Quality assurance is guaranteed by continuous process monitoring.
The MLC - Advantages at a glance
Focus on necessary components with a flexible and designable size of your workspace
- The work area can be adapted to the specific component
- All necessary process steps are integrated in a cost-optimized manner
- The basic footprint of the system is optimized
- Automation solutions can be integrated individually
Upstream and downstream process steps can be linked modularly
- Processes such as bending, forming, punching, embossing can be easily integrated
- The MLC can be operated as a stand-alone system or with multiple work and process steps
- The flow of goods by means of pick & place is just as feasible as external parts are inserted and removed, which enables fully autonomous production
