Recently, Murata Machinery USA, a representative Japanese manufacturer of machinery and CNC machine tools, announced the launch of the latest cutting-edge punch and fiber laser integrated equipment - MF3048HL. This integrated machine combines the advantages of punch operation and laser cutting technology, eliminating the need for separate settings or material transfer between machines.

Muratec's punch/laser combines the powerful capabilities of fiber lasers to perform precise cutting, punching, tapping, and forming operations on various materials. Although the large turret function reduces tool replacement, fiber lasers can perform contour cutting and meet the requirements of small batch stamping tools.

This new device also adds standard features such as controlling punching, quick tool replacement, marking and tapping, and increases production conversion from one process to another for greater flexibility and shorter production time.

The press has a capacity of 33 tons and a rated output power of 4kW. This hybrid machine has power and speed, providing precise and efficient operation. It handles a maximum sheet thickness of 1/4 inch, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. 4 feet ×  8 feet or 5 feet ×  The 10 foot processing sheet size option provides flexibility to accommodate various sheet sizes.

The MF3048HL has a high hit rate of 510hpm and a table speed of 4921 inches per minute, resulting in fast, reliable, and efficient processing speed. Its machining accuracy is ± 0.001 inches, ensuring high-precision and high-quality stamping/laser operations with complex geometric shapes, such as high-precision sheet metal and prototypes, especially in the automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries.

We are proud to introduce Muratec's new combination punch/laser to the market, marking a significant advancement in sheet metal processing technology, "said Jeff Kalmbach, General Manager of the Machine Tool Department at Murata Machinery Company in the United States, At Muratec, we understand that in today's fiercely competitive environment, speed alone cannot achieve business growth. Factory workshops require fast and reliable flexibility to handle every opportunity, and this multifunctional factory precisely provides this
The main characteristics of Muratec combined punch laser (MF3048HL):

-Integrated four station rigid tapping unit: A four station rigid tapping unit that improves the universality, efficiency, and high-speed tapping operation.

-Vibration free laser operation: The fiber laser is still safely installed on its dedicated frame, eliminating potential vibration interference during cutting and stamping operations. This thoughtful design ensures unparalleled accuracy and consistent processing results.

-Scalable bottom mold: This feature allows for the shrinkage of the mold when not in use. This allows the machine to perform laser cutting and punching operations to reduce the chances of scratches and jamming, while making adjacent punching stations available.

-Process network monitoring: Accelerate real-time monitoring and control of fiber laser operations, providing valuable insights for operators and manufacturing managers. Operators can make wise decisions, optimize settings, and ensure optimal performance, productivity, and quality.
By combining laser cutting and stamping functions into one machine, this multifunctional machine provides manufacturers with unparalleled flexibility, "Kalmbach added." By enabling users to combine manufacturing operations into one machine and seamlessly integrate automation systems, the company will quickly achieve productivity and efficiency benefits through operations, ultimately increasing profits
