About the Webinar Lasercoil, a manufacturer of automotive laser blanking machines, needed to build machines that could accurately cut large, complex shapes from steel coil while maximizing material use and reducing costs related to hard tooling. They also needed to maximize throughput for faster processing speeds and improved productivity. Additionally, their machines needed a simple interface to make them easy for operators to program. This webinar shares their innovative techniques for managing software, control and mechanical architecture when designing machines in-house. Learning Objectives Techniques for managing a machine’s software, controls and mechanical architecture How the machine architecture affects various aspects of the performance including throughput, accuracy, usability and maintainability Why an automation design partner can help improve machine performance Who Should Attend Engineers who work for companies that want to design their own machine architecture would benefit from learning best practices for maximizing throughput, accuracy, usability and maintainability.
