Quality Tool Inc. Turret Punch/Laser with Proprietary Driver Software

MATERIALS: Quality Tool Inc. added a new-generation turret punch/laser system, the Amada® EMLK3610NT, with an energy-efficient servo-electric drive system. This equipment delivers high-speed, tight-tolerance punching and laser cutting in combination with forming capability and automated load/unload material handling systems.

Specially programmed software makes Quality Tool’s deployment of the EMLK3610NT unique in the industry. Quality Tool directed the development of customized software for integration with the EMLK3610NT. Quality Tool’s solution makes real-time dynamic nesting possible and minimizes cost through reduction of setup and production time, scrap and lead times. This unrivaled performance is achieved while holding more precise tolerances for increased accuracy and quality.

The EMLK3610NT is specifically designed for efficient production of short-run and complex sheet metal parts. It is capable of delivering 500 HPM on 1 inch centers, the highest hit rate available today. The turret/laser handles up to 8-gauge material in 10 ft sheets (8 ft without repositioning).

In addition to manufacturing, Quality Tool provides design engineering, product development assistance, rapid prototyping and inventory management system implementation.
