Great savings from using other technology

The customer, a manufacturer of office furniture, inquired about laser cutting steel legs for desks. To start with, laser cutting was the obvious process for making the components, since it is a flexible process. However, the customer’s annual need meant that Hosta Industries saw a potential for automation.

By investing in a tool for automatic punching that was flexible, all the customer’s workpieces could be made using the same tool. The materials were ordered in specific measurements, which helped minimise material waste to less than 5%. At the same time, we got a significantly higher output in the process, without compromising on quality or aesthetics. By using automatic punching, the customer obtained a total saving of 40% and an ROI on investment in under 12 months.
