Prima Power's LASER NEXT 2131 helped Wenzel Metal Spinning eliminate hazardous manual trimming while boosting output
Wenzel Metal Spinning, a U.S. metal forming company, has integrated Prima Power's LASER NEXT 2131 five axis laser system to eliminate hazardous manual trimming tasks. The machine's split cabin design lets an operator load and unload parts while the laser cuts continuously, removing exposure to handheld routers, band saws and circle shears once used to trim spun metal parts.
"We've removed the most dangerous element of the job," said Lance Angus, production manager at Wenzel Metal Spinning. "Operators aren't fighting with sharp metal edges or spinning blades anymore."
The system has also cut cycle times and reduced scrap on precision parts.
