    Model Behaviour of Sheet Metal Shortens The Route To The Perfect Shape

    The problem of spring back when a press is opened causes the developers of metal-forming equipment many a headache.

    Laser Job Shop's Levels of Planning, Automation and Inspection are Unique

    Carlton Laser has recently installed a unique automated cell that links a punch press and a laser cutter to a single material storage system. The company is probably the only subcontractor in the UK working in this way. Further, recent investment in a Pullmax LaserQC has just won back some business that Carlton Laser lost a few years ago.
