The manufacturer of laser cut flatbed and rotary cutting dies took delivery of the device in August and, with operator training complete, the device is now in use.

Formed in 1979, the 50-staff Louth, Lincolnshire-based company’s purchase joins other existing Lasercomb cutting tables at its premises.

Ralegh production manager Paul Willows said: “This was a standard machine that Lasercomb kindly upgraded to meet our specification.”

He also praised “the professionalism and dedication to working towards the safety aspects of the install both from Friedheim and Lasercomb”.

The WCS cuts materials from 1mm to 50mm in height with a non-abrasive water jet, using up to 4,000 bar of pressure.

The machine is especially designed to produce ejector material for dies and, as such, Friedheim said it produces “a perfect and accurately contoured rubber coating” at a high rate of productivity.

The user interface and its strict structure guides the user through the application of the parameters of the process data in a simplified procedure.

Intuitive software and databases ensure proper configuration as well as fast, efficient production.
