LASER PUNCH - LPE Series Machine The LASER PUNCH LPE5 integrates punching and laser operation required when high-quality components are fabricated. The FINN-POWER LPE5 is more than a punch press; it is a punching, nibbling, cutting, forming,  marking, bending and tapping 5-axis work center for production of sheet metal parts. Punching is generated by a servomotor-driven mechanism. Low energy consumption, excellent forming properties, intelligent tool management technology for easy settings and user-friendly operator interface via touch  screen are a few of the new features in the machine representing a totally  new way of thinking. The FINN-POWER LPE5 offers an all-in-one solution to sheet metal manufacturers for flexible and fast production of more diversified parts than before even in small batches. Finn-Power's LASER PUNCH combines this unique E-Series turret punch press with the latest generation of CO2 Lasers. A 2500 Watt TRIAGON® CO2 Laser or a 2500 Watt  Diffusion-cooled SLAB Laser integrated in the LASER PUNCH lets you manufacture faster, more economically and using a wider range of sheet material than any alternative solution on the market. Finn-Power uses modular technology to construct a machine that suits your production needs. Finn-Power's modular approach to flexible manufacturing gave birth to a whole new fabrication concept. Energy consumption of LPE5 is astonishingly low. During idle no energy is used which saves a considerable amount of income.   Technical Specifications LPE MACHINE TURRET PUNCH PRESS Punching force 22 US tons (200 kN) Punch stroke electrical servo motor Ram stroke length in punching automatic intelligent optimization (NC-axis) Stroke depth in forming   programmabe with 0.001 mm increment (NC-axis) Stroke length in forming   programmable with 0.001 mm increment (NC-axis) Ram speed programmable Number of turret stations 20 Tooling styles available Mate Precision Tooling or Wilson Tool International recommended Maximum punch diameter 3.5” (89 mm) CNC index tool:   Number of index tool stations   Maximum punch diameter   Maximum tool rotation standard 2 (maximum 10) 3.5” (89 mm) 58 r/minute Upward forming (option):  Upward forming force Die stroke height in forming   22 US tons (200 kN) programmable with 0.001 mm increment (max .47” (12mm) NC-axis)  Upward forming speed (1)    25mm between forms (1/min) 80 - 150 Maximum material thickness .315” (8 mm) Maximum sheet weight (2) 440 lbs (200 kg) Clamps pneumatic 2 (optional 3) Maximum sheet size 50” x 100” ( 1270 mm x 2530 mm) X traverse, length 100” (2530 mm) Y traverse, length 50” (1317 mm) Axis speed (X axis), max 3149”/min (80 m/min) Axis speed (Y axis), max 2362”/min (60 m/min) Traversing speed, max 3936”/min (100 m/min) Hit speed, max: (3)   Nibbling (1….3 mm)   1” (25 mm) between holes   10” (250 mm) between holes 450/min 310/min 140/min Punching accuracy according to LKP-7100: (4)     Hole location deviation   (X/Y axes), max 0.004” (0.1 mm)   Hole-to-hole distance deviation   (X/Y axes), max +/- 0.002” (+/- 0.05 mm)   Angular deviation   (CNC Index Tool), max +/- 0.1o Positioning accuracy according to VDI/DGQ 3441: (5)     Positional deviation Pa   (X/Y axes) 0.003” (0.08 mm); +/- 0.002” (+/- 0.04 mm)   Positional scatter Ps   (X/Y axes) 0.002” (0.04 mm); +/- 0.001” (+/- 0.02 mm) Turret rotation 30 r/min Tool change time 1 … 3 sec Work chute, max part size 19.7” x 19.7” (500 mm x 500 mm) CNC control Siemens Sinumerik 840D Program memory 1500 kB Human machine interface Touch screen Total weight 29,320 # (13,300 kg) Power supply max 17 kVA Front fuse 3 x 35 A Power consumption, avg (150 hits/minute) (6)            4 … 5 kW Compressed air consumption, avg 3 cfm/min (30 Nl/min) Compressed air consumption, avg 90 psi (6 bar) Central lubrication reservoir 0.5 gallon (2000 c3) LASER - GENERATOR Type WB TRIAGON® 2500 CO2 Beam wave length 10.6 µm Guaranteed beam output power 2500 W Beam power range 0 – 2500 W Beam power stability +/- 1.5% Beam mode low order TEM 24 hour beam divergence +/- 0.10 mrad Beam diameter 1/e2 at output coupler 0.61” (15.5 mm) +/- 10% Polarisation linear, 45° Beam pulse frequency 0–2.5 kHz Pulse frequency width 200 µsec-cw Gas Consumption   Helium (he)   Nitrogen (N2)   Carbon dioxide (CO2) 35 NI/h 20 NI/h 3 NI/h Reguired gas purity 99.995 % min.

(2) Maximum acceleration/deceleration rate of X and Y axes depends on sheet weight.  Part accuracy depends on acceleration/deceleration rate and sheet size and weight. (3) Hit speed is dependent on sheet thickness, ram speed, X and Y axes acceleration/deceleration rate, axis speed and tool length. (4) Punching accuracy is tested according to the FINN-POWER standard LKP-7100 by punching holes in a 39.37” x 39.37” (1 m x 1 m) sheet with 100% speeds and by measuring the location (X/Y) and angle (CNC index tool) of the punched holes. (5) Positioning accuracy is measured according to the VDI/DGQ 3441 standard, using a laser measurement system, from the X and Y slides of the coordinate table of the machine. (6) Power consumption is based on average hit speed in typical production run.  It can be used when calculating energy costs. Humanetics www.humanetics.com 972-416-1304
