The Prima Power eP Press Brake is based on a rigid O-frame. This ensures tool alignment even under stress deformation since there is no horizontal displacement. The eP Press Brake features the advantages of high acceleration and deceleration and fast response times of the servo-electric drive system
LST is a compact high-performance automatic loading and stacking robot. The LST loads the sheets into the machine, picks the parts and sorts them to stacks to be used in the following process steps. The entire working cycle of the machine is automatic. “The stacking has been a great help,” says Suki Atwal. The LST allows our operators to use larger-sized sheets more safely and efficiently.”
Bottom Line
“We estimate that our ROI on the Combi Genius is 18- 24 months,” concludes Suki Atwal. “There are a number of new jobs where the Combi Genius has cut our lead time in half. We are sending these parts to Mexico for assembly. We see another Combi Genius in our future. Over the years, we have been able to grow because we’ve had the right people and the right equipment. We have grown along with the different generations of Prima Power equipment. Every time Prima Power introduced new technology, we realized that it would be beneficial to many of our customers. For the past five years we have purchased a new Prima Power machine each year. Why? Because they do what they are supposed to do -- produce cost efficient, high-quality parts.”
