Increasing the production capacity of ‘Ecoengineering 96’ Ltd.

Ecoengineering 96 Ltd. was established in 1996. Its main activity is laser metal cutting. Currently the company has at its disposal three laser complexes of different power: 2600W, manufactured in 1997; 3200W manufactured in 2007; and 5000W manufactured in 2012. The first two laser machines which belong to the company have already exhausted their production capacity. Despite the two- shift workload, they are not able to provide the timely fulfillment of the clients’ orders; as well as to ensure the adoption of new groups of details which the market requires. In order to increase its production capacity, the company makes plans to deliver and put into exploitation a Machine for fiber laser cutting and an abkant press. They will allow the company to considerably increase its production capacity thanks to: - The machine for fiber laser cutting has a working bench with sizes 4 by 2m in comparison to 3 by 1.5m of the existing machines in the company, which shortens the time for the by- processes and increases the productivity of the machine in comparison to the laser that the company owns at the moment; - The machine will be equipped with an automated cutting head which allows automated setting of the focus distance and also the laser ray diameter. This leads to reaching the optimal parameters of the ray which in turn leads to higher cutting speed and higher quality; - Enriching the product range and widening the market niche by 10% - The machine for fiber laser cutting has a ray with a short- length wave and it can cut materials like copper and messing, which is impossible using CO2 lasers. The planned delivery of the abkant press will complement the effect of the Machine for fiber laser cutting – using more powerful lasers in the company allows thicker and bigger in size details to be cut, and in order to do that an abkant press of greater power is necessary /no less than 1300kN/, so that it can bend the details.
