Plasma Punch Automation

Designed for Efficiency

Our automation systems:

• Remove parts from the machine immediately, as soon as they are finished – Important for single piece flow (JIT) environments.
• Sort and stack parts with no operator involvement
• Remove skeletons separately from the parts, and stacks them automatically – Operators do not need to remove parts from the skeleton
• Handle maximum machine capacities

Not only can the plasma punch machine RUN in an unattended operation, but it also produces parts that can move to the next operation AS-IS with no secondary sorting or handling operations!
