FINN-POWER LP6 punch laser machine was manufactured in 2008 in Finland
by FINN-POWER OY. The machine was used for machining AISI 304 and AISI
316 stainless steel sheet metal. Since its purchase, it has been
regularly serviced by the manufacturer and has undergone annual
technical inspections.
The FINN-POWER LP6 is a high-performance sheet metal machining center
that combines punching and laser cutting technologies. It enables
comprehensive machining of workpieces with a maximum thickness of 8
mm, eliminating the need for additional operations on other machines.
The use of both these technologies in a single system reduces task
completion times and increases overall production efficiency.
Punching is performed by means of a hydraulic cylinder, whose stroke
and speed are fully numerically controlled. The ability to programme
the upper stroke limit enables the punch’s movement to be precisely
adjusted to the thickness of the workpiece. Adjustment of the
cylinder’s lower position, meanwhile, enables compensation of the
punch length without the need for additional adjustment shims. The
punching system is also equipped with an automatic overload protection
mechanism, which protects the machine’s components during operation
under heavy loads.
The hydraulic cylinder cooperates with a 20-station turret with
interchangeable tool holders. This solution allows the turret to be
configured according to the requirements of the production process.
Automatic tool exchange takes place in a matter of seconds by rotating
the turret along the shortest path to the programmed position. During
punching, the head is mechanically locked in place by pneumatic
conical positioning pins. The machine is also equipped with the CNC
Index Tool system, which enables tools to be rotated automatically to
any programmed angle. The indexing mechanism operates simultaneously
with the movement of the X and Y axes, meaning that punching, stamping
and nibbling at various angles can be performed without the need for
manual tool change.
The FINN POWER LP6 punch laser combination machine is equipped with a
ROFIN DC025 laser resonator with a power of 2.5 kW. The laser source
generates a high-quality beam, which is delivered to the cutting head
via a closed, water-cooled optical system with overpressure. This
solution protects the beam from dust and other contaminants, ensuring
the highest cutting quality. The cutting head is equipped with a
quick-change system for 5″ and 7.5″ lenses. Its vertical movement
is controlled by a servo drive, whilst the autofocus function
automatically adjusts the focal position according to the thickness of
the workpiece. All cutting process parameters, such as laser power,
nozzle height and gas pressure, are selected automatically by the CNC
controller according to the material code selected in the ControlLink
database. Beneath the cutting head are two independent chutes designed
for small and larger parts, through which the finished parts are fed
onto the conveyor.
The sheet metal is positioned on a coordinate table, which enables
precise movement of the material along the X and Y axis. The
programmable speed and acceleration of the axes enable the adjustment
of movement parameters to suit the performed operation, whilst the
automatic repositioning function of the sheet along the X axis enables
the machining of larger workpieces. The workpiece is clamped to the
table along the X axis by four clamps with a central locking system.
The patented PCS system automatically adjusts the position of the
clamps in accordance with the prepared programme and monitors their
position during operation. It also defines safety zones to prevent
collisions with tool holders.
The FINN-POWER LP6 punch-laser machine has been designed with simple
and intuitive operation in mind. The machine operator has at his
disposal an advanced SIEMENS SINUMERIK 840D CNC controller with a
user-friendly interface and a range of functions to support day-to-day
work. The rigid ‘O’-type design ensures high stability of the
entire machine, even during intensive use. The total weight of the
machine is 18000 kg.
