MAZAK FMS FAB SHOP TYPE A
Our laser Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) is world-renowned for helping fabricators achieve competitiveness. The largest variable in manufacturing costs around the globe is related to labour. Mazak FMS drives so much direct labour from the cutting and handling processes that fabricators everywhere can compete.
The FMS consists of a high-capacity material storage tower to store and retrieve up to ten different sheet specifications, a pneumatic load system to accurately position the sheet, and several versions of automatic unload depending on your applications. Once the raw material is loaded in the tower, the complete operation to finished part requires no labour. Its high capacity allows for complete shifts or weekends of operator unattended production.
Our line controller software is comprehensive yet easy to learn and use. Automatically, it:
- Locates material for the next job
- Directs material retrieval while lasers continue cutting
- Selects the appropriate laser and downloads nested cutting programs for storage in the CNC control
- Schedules and sequences up to four lasers for optimal utilization
- Alerts factory personnel to problems
- Provides comprehensive production reports
- The flexibility to go from one nest to another, and select materials and thickness, without new set-ups, distinguishes the Mazak Laser FMS.
