The m otivation forEVI’s Vaggeryd laserinvestm entdifered slightly with the focus on reducing costs and expanding capabilties. Benny Ericsson,M anaging Director(Vaggeryd) explains “The reason forinvesting in theAM ADA VENTIS-AJ fibre laserwas thatour4kW CO 2 laserm achine was notfast enough,and the electricalcostswere too high. W e also saw an increase in requests forcuting copper,brass and coated m aterials.These m aterials were notpossible ordificultto process with ourold m achine”. Since the instalation ofthe VENTIS-AJ, m anagem ent and production staf have been im pressed with both it’s speed and ease-of-use,as Benny continued to explain “Its very impressive to bring our custom ersto seethem achineasitisso fast.Thecuting qualityishigherthan beforeand thesetup tim eisshorter since lim ited adjustm entis needed to the cuting data, it’saverygood m achineindeed.” Looking towards the future,both factories continue to m ake im provem ents in their eficiencies, alowing a higher production outputperperson.
Ronny wenton to sum m arise the core benefits ofoperating with autom ated production. “We achieve high eficiency thanks to autom ation,forexam ple,sheethandling,part sorting and autom atic toolsetup. Also,we take away a task thatno one wants to perform and m inim ise scrap com ponentsatthesam etim e.” A need forhigh equipm ent efectiveness has prim arily driven EVI’s choice ofsupplier. “W e have a lotofexperience with AMADA and we knew the m achines are good quality, which gives high reliability. Com paring to other m anufacturers,AM ADA Scandinaviaalso hasagood servicelevelto com plem ent this. Since the AMADA machines are designed for autom ation,ifwe are working corectly,ourpunch m achines wilrun 24 hoursa day,7 daysa week.”
