Combi Genius new generation of integrated punching and laser technology

The punching and laser cutting combi machines were already introduced to the Prima Power product family in 1989. It was noticed at that time that combining different work stages accelerated the manufacture of the final product and reduced the production costs. A modern combi machine uses numerically controlled, servo electric axes, which provides outstanding energy efficiency, low maintenance requirement and a high speed of operation. The cornerstones of its productivity include large tool capacity, the wide range of special tools available and easy and fast set up change. As the best laser power source for the combi machine, the genuine fibre laser has a very high efficiency. Its highest utilization degree is conveniently suitable for max. 8 mm material thicknesses designed for the machine. Forming and other auxiliary work stages, and ease of use are further factors reducing the manufacturing cost per component thus making the combі machine a productive and competitive manufacturung solution.

Punch Laser cutting Superior manufacturing economy
The Genius philosophy
Prima Power is bold enough to name the new machine series Genius because it is extensively based on our
customers experience and wishes. We wanted to fulfill
these expectations with Combi Genius, a compact machine with a small footprint, offering productivity, operation convenience and compatibility with a number of automation solutions.
Two performance levels
The new Genius series has models on two complementary performance levels
PURE meets all the targets set for an attractively priced, yet efficient production
machine

DYNAMIC offers the best productivity and performance in the market. Both models come with the latest features and can be equipped with the whole range of options.

Easy cover protection system
Easy cover protection system around the machine is especially designed for the requirements of the combі machine. This provides protection from any scattered radiation of the fibre laser, but allows loading, unloading and maintenance procedures for the operator as easily as possible. Genius is operated with a modern control unit and its touch screen panel. Management of machine set up and work queues is easy with the Tulus user interface. The NC Express TM programming system and Tulus work in perfect combination, provide comprehensive reports on machine and production status, and can be linked to the factory ERP system when required. Monitoring of machine operation is facilitated by four cameras that send image to the upper display. Special attention has been paid to ergonomics and user friendliness of the control unit.
Work orders created by NC Express e3 can be loaded to
machine's task list easily by a bar code reader. Task Loader system selects work orders from the database automatically and adds them to machine's task list including all information on e.g. required NC programs, tooling and material needed in production. To make the operator's work easier, a new Android based Tulus MUPS application has been developed. It provides instructions for tool set ups and other operation tasks. Manual loading and unloading is facilitated by a movable table top. Thus even the smallest sheets can be handled close to the operator. The loading of heavy sheets is made easy with vertically moving sheet supports. Machine tables have been redesigned and equipped with more dense brushes, which together with the more solid table frame enable handling of sheets up to 250 kg in weight. Clamp position is programmable for maximum sheet utilization and the position is changed automatically with the PCS function.
Genius can be equipped with three clamps, which can be moved automatically and individually to a new position during program run to maximize sheet utilization without
repositioning.

Customized turret design
Tooling can be flexibly selected as required by the application. Up to 384 standard or 128 index tools can be simultaneously available in the turret. More value can be added to the end product by using special tools such as tapping, bending, marking and forming tools. 16 and 20 hole turrets are available. The set up of all punching, forming and special tools is easy using the graphical tool library of the Tulus operating system. Automatic tool lubrication system and vacuum assisted scrap removal are available as options.

lntelligent ram
A new option is the Intelligent ram which shortens tool change time and increases the number of tools in turret and especially that of index tools. Intelligent ram includes a rotating ram head, which enables old Multi Tool types to be used as indexable. Also new Multi Tool innovations such as 4A and 4B can be used with the new intelligent ram

Scratch free
A new feature is having moving brushes also in front and inside of the turret, which prevents effectively the scratching of sensitive materials. The movement is activated by the program when needed. Further options include the servo operated tapping unit TU6, automatic labelling device and lnkjet marking device.
The high precision, servo electric, indexable upforming cylinder provides 200 kN of forming power for fast making of even high and complicated forms and continuous roll forming. The work chute for punched components is sized 500 mm x 500 mm. Component removal is assisted by a new air blow unit. Options that can be added after the work chute are component identification system, component conveyor and sorting unit SU6.
lmproved punching reliability
Optional hole check system improves reliability with advanced automation and unmanned 24/7 operations.
Reliable laser cutting. The optimized cutting head, collimator, delivery fibre and cutting parameters guarantee the highest cutting quality and speed for the Prima Power combi machine in the market. The high quality and powerful fibre laser is available with 3 kW or 4 kW Prima Power CF resonator. Combі Genius includes many safety systems to improve cutting performance and reliability. Lens protection window LPW prevents dust and spots on the lens. Laser plasma monitor LPM follows the cutting process and restarts it if necessary. Lens condition sensor LCS folllows lens condition and informs the operator when lens requires changing. For the laser cut parts, two drop doors are provided as standard 300 mm x 400 mm for quicker sorting and 800 mm x 800 mm for larger parts. New brushes on the chute top prevent scratches. From the drop door, the parts are transferred by conveyor to the side of the machine to be unloaded manually or forwarded with different conveyor and sorting solutions.

Flexible automation
Automation equipment
SU sorting unit for small components
UDC unloading device for skeletons and micro jointed parts
LST loading and stacking system can be integrated with COMBO and Night Train storage systems. LST loading and stacking system can be chosen for automatic loading, component picking and stacking to programmed coordinates in the palletizing area. LSR loading and stacking robot with new FlexPick gripper provides more efficient stacking layout and gentle part handling.
Loading and unloading can be automated with Compact Express equipment. New features include scratch free sheet escort during unloading and remote control of the door. Moving upper frame beam and optomal placement of the safety equipment reset button are convenient when loading or unloading using a forklift
