LVD M-Series
Eco Laser
Offering the largest turret capacity of machines in their class, the Strippit M-Series of CNC turret punch presses has a 47-station turret providing high flexibility and reduced set-up time. Built on a heavy-duty frame with an advanced table positioning system that achieves accuracy of ± 0.10 mm with a repeatability of ± 0.05 mm over the entire table, it’s also equipped with LVD’s Energy Reduction System (ERS), According to the company, Strippit M-Series punch presses consume up to 30% less electrical power than comparable machines and are less costly to operate and maintain. www.lvdgroup.com
Part of Amada’s Eco Products which are engineered for energy conservation, the ENSIS 3015 AJ Fiber Laser is equipped with AMADA’s own fiber laser oscillator and the latest beam control technology for maximizing energy efficiency, while supporting higher efficiency in production. The power requirements for ENSIS are substantially less than CO2 systems since there are no optics to keep cool, a smaller, more efficient chiller further enhances cost savings. The oscillator is designed as an integrated unit allowing this system to deliver a high-power, high-quality laser beam in a remarkably small footprint. www.amada.ca
Speed and efficiency The Bystronic BySprint 6 kW Fiber laser cuts 1/8th inch stainless steel up to 70% faster than a 4 kW Fiber laser. This laser will also cut three times faster than a 6 kW CO2 laser. It can cut steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals, such as copper and brass. The electrical consumption of the BySprint Fiber is up to 70% less than conventional CO2 lasers, this results in lower operating and maintenance costs, in addition to significant energy savings. The cutting head is engineered to cut both thin and thick material with optimum performance, providing job shops added flexibility. The BySprint Fiber 3015 has a 5- x 10-foot cutting area; the larger 4020 model provides a cutting area of 6- x 13-feet. www.bystronic.com
Energy presses
Energy Efficient
Based on its experience in press brakes and servo electric machine tools for sheet metal working, Prima Power developed the new eP-Series press brakes. The machine concept, called Green Means, combines productivity, accuracy, flexibility and reliability with respect to ecological aspects. Available in three models, the eP-0520, eP1030 and eP-1336, all have different press tonnage and bending length. Boasting an energy saving of 50% lower consumption than hydraulic brakes on average, this system is more productive averaging 30% shorter cycle times and short setup times. www.primapower.com
Dutch-based SafanDarley, inventor of the servo-elecservo-electronic press brake, offers a range of E-brakes from 20 to 300 ton and working lengths of 33 to 160 inches. With its E-Brakes cycle times are shortened by up to 30 per cent compared to traditional hydraulic press brakes, and the machines are up to 50 per cent more energy efficient than comparable hydraulic brakes, as the machine only consumes energy when the upper beam is actually moving. www.safandarley.com

Efficient and powerful Combining low operating cost of fiber laser technology with the company’s high-performance 12,000 ipm linear-motor axis drives (combined X & Y axis speed) The CL-900 series fiber laser cutting systems from Cincinnati Incorporated cuts thin steel two to three times faster than similar wattage CO2 lasers. With a power efficiency greater than 30 per cent this solid state fiber laser will reduce operating costs. Available with bed sizes of 5- x 10-ft., 6- x 12-ft, and 8- x 20-ft, the PC-based HMI control comes standard with Cincinnati’s programming and nesting software to optimize machine performance. www.e-ci.com
