Lights Out Manufacturing
- Laser automation can permit lights out manufacutring capabilities. Multiple stacks of material can be loaded and cut overnight; ready for part breakout the next morning. Operations are monitored remotely at all times.
Automated Part Removal
- Parts can be stored in cassettes which further increase production efficiency. Automation systems can store multiple cassettes and multiple jobs simultaneously.
