Automation and laser technology perfectly combined
ACSYS delivers a unique complete package

Goodbye complexity, hello simplicity in the integration and operation of laser systems in conjunction with automation. The new holistic automation package that ACSYS Lasertechnik is presenting at AMB2024 promises a single point of contact for hardware, software, additional equipment and service. Customers receive everything from a single source, from the integrated rotary table solution and smart cobots to software automation with individual programming – turnkey and with direct support for all components.

The modern manufacturing industry faces a multitude of challenges across all sectors, especially when it comes to combining laser systems and automation solutions from different suppliers – including different contacts in different companies for individual components. Such pain points can have a significant impact on efficiency and productivity.

As a leading provider of precision solutions for engraving, marking, structuring, welding and cutting with laser technology, ACSYS has recognized this need and offers a comprehensive complete package for laser systems and automation with its all-in-one approach consisting of hardware, software, process expertise and service. In this context, the laser specialist will be presenting a modular automation cell at AMB 2024 in Stuttgart that can be seamlessly connected to ACSYS laser systems and takes laser processing to a new level.

Hurdles in the integration of laser and automation systems

In practice, the combination of machines and automation solutions from different suppliers brings with it various complications:

• Hardware incompatibility: Different machine components are often not optimally matched to each other, which can lead to inefficient operation and increased wear.
• Software interfaces: Different software systems do not communicate seamlessly with each other, which makes process control and data evaluation more difficult.
• Process integration: Harmonizing the various process steps and parameters is difficult, which impairs productivity.
• Service and maintenance: Uncoordinated services from different providers lead to longer downtimes and higher costs.

Complete package from ACSYS: everything from a single source

ACSYS knows the challenges faced by many industrial companies and offers its customers a unique all-in-one solution: high-precision laser systems with customized automation, where hardware, software, process expertise and service come from a single source. This results in numerous advantages for users:

• Seamless integration: ACSYS laser systems are a combination of perfectly matched components. This ensures smooth operation and minimizes wear.
• Standardized software: The software developed in-house by ACSYS is OPC/UA-ready and enables seamless communication between the modules.
• Optimized processes: With comprehensive process knowledge, intelligent algorithms and smart hardware, we optimize the material flow and ensure precise processing.
• Comprehensive service: ACSYS offers a comprehensive service for all integrated components, which minimizes downtimes and reduces maintenance costs.

ROBOFEEDER: The smart cobot retrofit solution from ACSYS

At AMB 2024, ACSYS will be presenting the ROBOFEEDER, a retrofittable cobot solution that fits perfectly with this all-in-one approach: The new automation cell can be seamlessly integrated into both existing and new laser systems. Customers have the choice of opting for very deep integration, in which the cobot and software are fully connected, or deliberately very shallow integration, in which the automation solution is connected to an existing laser system without integration preparation. With the ROBOFEEDER, ACSYS impressively demonstrates how laser processing and automation can be perfectly combined to meet the requirements of modern manufacturing processes – whether as a retrofit or as part of a newly planned laser system.

For companies in the metalworking, mechanical engineering, toolmaking and medical technology sectors, the ACSYS approach offers a forward-looking solution. By combining high-precision laser systems with advanced automation and comprehensive service, ACSYS ensures that its customers can achieve their production goals efficiently and sustainably.
