Country:Korea
Industry: Chassis and Cabinet Manufacturing
Equipment: Punching Combined Laser Machine
Application:Chassis Parts, Cabinet Panels, Enclosures, Sheet Metal Components
A chassis and cabinet manufacturer in Korea adopted STON’s Punching Combined Laser Machine to improve sheet metal processing flexibility, reduce secondary handling, and support more efficient production of cabinet panels, chassis parts, and metal enclosures.
As a factory-direct sheet-metal automation and CNC fabrication equipment manufacturer, STON provides integrated punching, laser cutting, bending, and automation solutions for global manufacturers. This Korea customer case shows how a combined punching and laser cutting system can help factories process complex sheet metal parts with better efficiency, precision, and workflow control.
Chassis and cabinet production often requires multiple sheet metal processes. A single part may need holes, slots, contours, ventilation openings, formed features, and accurate outer profiles. If these steps are completed on separate machines, the factory may face repeated loading, more manual transfer, longer production time, and higher positioning risk.
The Korean customer needed a more flexible processing solution for chassis and cabinet parts. Their production included sheet metal panels, enclosure covers, cabinet bodies, mounting plates, and structural components. These products require both **sheet metal punching** and laser cutting in a stable production workflow.
To improve efficiency, the customer selected STON’s Punching Combined Laser Machine, a solution designed to combine CNC punching and laser cutting into one coordinated processing system.
The STON Punching Combined Laser Machine integrates two key processes: CNC turret punching and fiber laser cutting. The punching unit handles holes, slots, louvers, embossing, and forming features. The laser cutting unit handles outer contours, special shapes, and flexible cutting paths.
This combination is especially useful for cabinet and chassis manufacturers because many sheet metal parts require both standard punched features and customized laser-cut profiles.
| Equipment Function | Processing Role | Customer Value |
|---|---|---|
| CNC Punching | Creates holes, slots, louvers, and formed features | Improves efficiency for repeated features |
| Lasersnijden | Cuts contours, openings, and custom shapes | Supports flexible part design |
| Combined Processing | Completes punching and cutting in one workflow | Reduces secondary handling |
| CNC Control | Coordinates movement and processing sequence | Improves repeatability |
| Integrated System | Connects multiple processes in one machine | Saves floor space and improves workflow |
For the Korean customer, this machine helped simplify the production process and improve the connection between punching and cutting operations.
Chassis and cabinet products often have complex sheet metal requirements. They may include mounting holes, cable openings, ventilation slots, folded edges, lock holes, hinge holes, and irregular outer shapes. A traditional production flow may require one machine for punching and another machine for cutting.
Every extra transfer creates risk. Parts may be scratched. Positioning may shift. Operators spend more time loading and unloading. Production becomes slower and harder to manage.
A punching combined laser solution helps reduce these issues. The factory can complete more operations in one setup, making the workflow cleaner and easier to control. For high-mix cabinet production, this flexibility is very important.
The customer selected STON’s equipment to support practical production needs, especially for chassis and cabinet parts with different shapes and hole patterns. The machine allows the factory to process a wider range of parts without relying too heavily on separate equipment.
Main customer benefits include:
This solution helps the customer improve both productivity and part consistency.
The Punching Combined Laser Machine is suitable for many chassis and cabinet products. These products usually require accurate holes, slots, cutouts, profiles, and formed sheet metal details before bending or assembly.
Typical products supported by this solution include:
| Product Type | Processing Need |
|---|---|
| Chassis Parts | Holes, slots, contours, mounting features |
| Cabinet Panels | Ventilation holes, lock holes, cable openings |
| Metal Enclosures | Outer profiles, punched patterns, functional cutouts |
| Mounting Plates | Accurate hole positions and repeated punching |
| Electrical Cabinets | Punching, cutting, and preparation before bending |
| Equipment Covers | Custom contours and clean openings |
For chassis and cabinet manufacturers, this equipment helps create more consistent sheet metal parts before downstream bending, welding, painting, or assembly.
Punching and laser cutting each have their own strengths. Punching is efficient for repeated holes, louvers, embossing, and formed features. Laser cutting is flexible for custom contours, irregular shapes, and part outlines.
By combining these two processes, STON’s machine helps manufacturers choose the best method for each feature on the same part. The punch handles repetitive functional features. The laser handles flexible cutting requirements.
| Process | Best For | Value in Chassis and Cabinet Production |
|---|---|---|
| Punching | Standard holes, louvers, embossing, forming | Fast processing of repeated features |
| Lasersnijden | Complex profiles, contours, openings | Flexible design and clean cutting paths |
| Combined Process | Parts needing both punching and cutting | Fewer transfers and better workflow |
This is especially valuable for factories producing many different cabinet models or chassis designs.
One of the biggest advantages of a punching combined laser machine is reduced secondary handling. In a traditional workflow, operators may need to move the same sheet from a punching machine to a laser cutting machine. This takes time and increases the chance of errors.
With STON’s combined solution, more processing can be completed in one coordinated workflow. This helps reduce loading time, material movement, and repeated positioning.
For the Korean customer, the improved workflow supports better production management. Operators can focus more on process control and quality inspection instead of repeatedly transferring sheets between machines.
The Korean customer chose STON because STON provides practical CNC sheet metal solutions for real production needs. As a sheet metal machine manufacturer and metal fabrication equipment manufacturer, STON offers more than a single machine. We help customers match equipment with product type, processing steps, factory layout, and production goals.
STON’s product system includes CNC Panel Benders, Turret Punch Presses, Laser Cutting Units, Press Brakes, Flanging Machines, Automatic Loading and Unloading Systems, and complete Automatic Production Lines. This product range allows STON to support customers from single-equipment upgrades to full sheet metal automation projects.
For chassis and cabinet production, STON’s punching combined laser solution helps customers balance flexibility, accuracy, and production efficiency.
For overseas customers, machine performance must be supported by service, training, and spare parts. STON supports global buyers with technical consultation, equipment selection, customized configuration, commissioning guidance, operator training, and after-sales support.
Customers can send drawings, material information, factory layout, production capacity requirements, and local installation conditions. STON will evaluate the project and recommend a suitable CNC fabrication solution.
This support is valuable for cabinet manufacturers, enclosure producers, chassis factories, HVAC equipment manufacturers, metal furniture plants, distributors, importers, and industrial automation partners.
This Korea customer case shows how STON’s Punching Combined Laser Machine can support chassis and cabinet production by combining CNC punching and laser cutting in one efficient workflow.
For manufacturers producing cabinets, chassis, enclosures, panels, covers, and other sheet metal components, a combined punching and laser cutting system can help improve flexibility, reduce handling, and support more stable production.
STON will continue to provide factory-direct sheet metal automation and CNC fabrication equipment for global customers.
