Prima Power’s Compact TowerServer has an elevator for easy loading and unloading blanks and processed sheets on and off the tower. The Platino Fiber is particularly suitable for 24/7 operation often performed in untended mode.
The Platino fi ber is particularly well-suited for 24/7 operation, often performed in untended mode. It is a
fully independent machine, with no need for manual intervention during machine operation. Once the production schedule is programmed, the Platino Fiber Laser takes care of the necessary settings, tip replacement, sheet change, and storage. “With the Platino Fiber Laser we often cut 3/8" [9.5-mm] and 5/16" [7.9-mm] material at night,” said Rosevear. “It is reliable and cuts all night long on these thicker materi- als. With the automated tower we can run unmanned and lights out. We love the tower. It is a real time-saver. The sheets are heavy for one operator to load manually. The tower eliminates manual labor and material handling. It loads the sheet to the laser, laser cuts, unloads, and we’re up and running again. The Plaino Fiber Laser has worked out beautifully. Compared to a CO2
laser, we’ve only had to
replace one lens in the Platino Fiber to date, and the speed is awesome. We can cut up to 1200 ipm [30.5 m/min] with the Platino Fiber. The fastest my CO2
m/min],” said Rosevear. “We have picked up a few new customers because of
the fi ber laser,” said Rosevear. “On long runs, we can actually charge a lower price for the same hourly work because of the speed of the machine. The Platino Fiber Laser has allowed us to pick up the larger jobs—jobs we weren’t getting with just the CO2
lasers. Since installing the Prima Power 4000-W
Platino Fiber Laser my business has increased 35%. Profi t margins are up, and production time is down.” For more information from Prima Power North America Inc., go to
