Charged EVs | Prima Power integrates Siemens control system into its laser cutting machine - Charged EVs

Posted October 23, 2024 by Nicole Willing & filed under Newswire, The Tech.

German technology company Siemens has integrated its numerical control system, SINUMERIK ONE, into the latest model of Prima Power’s 3D laser cutting machine, Laser Next, for automotive manufacturing.

Prima Power, a manufacturer of sheet metal working machinery and 3D laser cutting technology, said it has enhanced its machine’s compatibility and integration capabilities. Incorporating the advanced safety features of SINUMERIK ONE allows it to meet global safety standards without the need for additional modules, making it efficient and flexible.

Siemens’ comprehensive PLC standard communication protocols streamline the integration with automation systems. Compatibility with OPC-UA and MQTT communication protocols meets global market demands for simplified integration of data collection systems for data-driven application development.

Laser Next 1530/2130 equipped with SINUMERIK ONE is more productive, faster, flexible and more efficient as it has integrated the SIMATIC S7-1500F PLC controller and Siemens Totally Integrated Automation Portal ecosystem, as well as Siemens’ Digital Twin capabilities for manufacturing efficiency and sustainability.

The Digital Twin enabled Prima Power to engineer and optimize the machine before it made the prototype, shortening its time to market. The Digital Twin enables manufacturers to create an accurate digital replica through an entirely virtualized process, eliminating the need for physical machining on the shop floor.

“Siemens advanced technology represents a future-proof platform for Laser Next machines, ensuring a high level of performance and flexibility. It enables us to meet the growing demands of end users for secure, powerful, and innovative machines. We look forward to continuing this successful collaboration and driving further advancements,” stated Massimiliano Galli Head of Motion Control at Siemens Digital Industries in Italy.
