Some of the most successful manufacturing companies have been able to stay competitive whilst still maintaining large manufacturing facilities in some of the most labour expensive markets. Automotive is an excellent example of this. Investment in automating production has been key to making this happen. Datum have invested in coil to part lasers offering a lights out manufacturing solution, enabling competitive delivery and price on thin laser cut components.
In the rapidly growing industry of battery and power generation, the flexibility of the laser has had real added value against other technologies such as stamping. Some of the more interesting projects recently have been at the start of the product design phase where there are multiple design changes in quick succession while designs are tested and perfected ready for mass manufacture. Rapid turnaround and the ability to change designs without long lead times on delivery, tool modifications and the costs associated with it that are seen in competing technologies such as stamping, have been very advantageous to customers.
Coupling the advantages of laser manufacturing with automation allows the laser to compete against manufacturing techniques on higher volume applications, this along with companies re-evaluating supply chains, has led to some exciting opportunities.
Datum Laser utilises state-of-the-art laser technology to produce coil to parts components ranging from 0.05-0.5mm.
