Best Practices for Laser Cutting of Hot Stamped Parts
Yama Fedai, Key Account Manager and Industry Manager, Trumpf North America

• Press-hardened steel stamping lines, featuring robotic material handling and automation, with vertically stacked ovens and hydraulic press capacities ranging from 500 to 800 tons.
• Trumpf 8030 series, five-axis laser-cutting cells used to perform secondary operations such as hole/slot cutting and trimming of non-developed trim edges.
• Assembly weld cells, in both flexible and purpose-built configurations. Capabilities include robotic material handling, carried and non-carried resistance welding, robotic gas-meta-arc welding, and automated inspection and traceability.
• Non-weld fastener-application cells robotically applying clinch studs and nut clips.
