LaserCoil video highlights scrap handling in coil-fed laser blanking system

LaserCoil Technologies LLC, Napoleon, Ohio, has produced a video that shows how its patented conveyor design contributes to the speed of the company’s coil-fed laser cutting systems. The LaserCoil process relies on a series of dynamic profile conveyor lanes that independently and dynamically reposition to maintain a clear path below the moving laser head while also automatically shedding scrap during the cutting process.

The multilane, high-speed conveying system is designed to adjust quickly and not limit the overall system's laser cutting speed, even in the direction of material flow. Scrap falls to the bottom of the machine, where it is conveyed to a scrap bin or shed to a scrap system.
