The Giga Laser Next from Prima Power is a 3-D laser cutting system designed for high-volume automotive manufacturing. At the heart of the system are four synchronized laser heads that work simultaneously on the same part. The system utilizes a dual-station layout that enables parallel loading and unloading, increasing productivity while reducing floor space requirements.
As giga-factories reshape vehicle production, conventional laser systems can struggle to efficiently process the high-strength steel used to achieve optimal strength-to-weight ratios. As automotive OEMs scale up to meet giga-factory throughput and electric vehicle demand, the Giga Laser Next is poised to address the industry’s most pressing needs, including maximizing floor space utilization and machine uptime, improving production efficiency, minimizing labor requirements and managing market volatility.
Giga Laser Next Advantages:
- With multiple laser heads, users achieve as much as 280 percent higher productivity than conventional systems
- A fully automated system, the Giga Laser Next can be completely integrated into production lines, including stamping and assembly lines
- An advanced anti-collision system keeps uptime high
- Its advanced setup reduces the average number of cutting stations required and production changeover time by 75 percent
- Easy fixture change system, digital twin validation and low-maintenance architecture support high-volume production
- Parallel loading and unloading allow the machine to operate with only 2 sec. of idle time
- Compact footprint of 32.8 ft. by 32.8 ft.
