Combination technology at its best

The consequent high precision and long standing accuracy machine construction, the efficient sheet metal utilisation and uncompromising quality of the parts are convincing arguments for the LC-2012C1NT. It is flexibly in use from the introductory to the upper middle class of combined punchlaser technology. High speeds and minimum setup times are necessary for being competitive. At the same time, machines must be flexible in use and take up as little space as possible. The LC-2012 C1 NT series from AMADA unites all of these advantages. The fully developed combination technology creates the conditions for economical and reliable production. All system components are perfectly matched to each other and enable individual solutions at the highest level of production. Flexible in use for tapping, forming, laser cutting and punching Punching (YP) and laser cutting (YL) with two separate drive units Smooth running and durability due to ball screws Automatic sheet origin setting Automatic repositioning Automatic dead zone management, adjusted to the respective tool size Less work preparation, setup and production times Reduction of energy and operating costs Intelligent energy management with servo-electric drive Fast start-up/restart (< 5 minutes)

Punching with the advantage of expertise and experience

AMADA has been developing highperformance punching machines for the upper quality segment for more than 40 years and the user profits from this experience. Even the smallest parts with complex structures can be produced quickly and inexpensively using the LC-2012 C1 NT. There is a choice between turrets with 46 or 49 stations. Four rotating and four tapping stations as standard or an optional rotating die as well as three dies with lifting function and four tapping stations (M2.5 to M8) avoid time-consuming tool conversion. The active retaining system prevents followon during the punching process. This prevents material stressing and bending up. Reworking is usually completely unnecessary. The tools are actively oiled during the punching process by AirBlow technology according to the principle of minimum quantity lubrication. The servo-electric drive combines the precision of the mechanical punching techniques with the speed and flexibility of laser technology. The energy recovery system stores energy produced during the braking process and ensures low energy consumption. In addition, the system does not use maintenance-intensive hydraulic systems. The user can therefore save on costs and at the same time help to conserve resources. Fully automatic sheet positioning Continually adjustable clamps on the material carriages Highest precision and flexibility Punching force up to 200 kN Smooth-running, low-wearing and almost completely maintenance-free Low noise emission Two turret configurations with 46 or 49 tools High tool capacity Tools up to 88.9 mm diameter with direct access Easy tapping with variable thread sizes (M2.5 to M8) Effective lubrication by AirBlow technology guarantees long service life of the tools Lifting brush table Sheet metal forming sensors

Process and system changeover every second

The laser is used for those cases where tool geometries cannot be punched. The half-flying optics achieve a high level of precision at high speeds and the resonator achieves a specific performance of 2.5 kW. Fast positioning times, short beam paths and high speeds are achieved by the ball screw drive.

The change from punching to laser processing takes place within two seconds. Fast changeover is made possible by the synchronised movement of both Y-axes of the laser head and sheet metal positioning. Because the laser moves on a separate Y-axis, the entire process is smoother, more precise and energy consumption is reduced.

Punch-Laser combinations do not just manage tasks with high complexity but also enable fast handling of production processes. This also reduces operating costs.

2.5 kW continuous laser output Reproducable top quality Reduced setup times and the highest flexibility in one setting Cutting optics are parked to protected them against vibrations during the punching process. Quick change system for lens and nozzle High beam quality for optimum laser cutting

Part removal via a generous work chute

Modular automation
The LC-2012 C1 NT becomes a flexible production system with its modular automation components. Users obtain outstanding production flexibility with maximum processing speed even with the basic configuration. The fully version expands into a complete automation unit for loading and unloading the machine including integration of single parts sorting and conveyer belt. The small "economical" machining centre then becomes a "big earner". The optional parts sorting puts good parts onto a separate conveyer belt. The cycle time for part removal becomes shorter because the operator can take out produced parts faster without interrupting the process and processed further. Alternatively, part removal can also take place via a large scale work chute. This allows several parts to be ejected simultaneously and therefore saves time. Different possibilities for part removal: Work chute Single parts sorting Manipulator in micro joints
Set-down position of the single parts sorting on the conveyer belt

Waiting position of the single parts sorting

Removal position of the single parts sorting

Intelligent networking
The world-wide tried-and-tested AMNC control system ensures maximum precision with simple operability and the highest possible reliability. AMNC is based on multimedia Windows, is easy to use and offers diverse functions. Even the less experienced machine operator is able to familiarise himself quickly. Data input takes place via the touch screen or from within the AMADA technology network. The software creates the data only once and makes it available to all connected function areas. All necessary process information, production-relevant data, parts drawings, tool setups and the actual machine programme for an order can be stored and called up at any time. Quality assurance, test, control and error reporting routines provide high processing reliability. Compact performance density now has a new name: LC-2012 C1 NT from AMADA!
