Combination Machines for Flexible Sheet Metal Fabrication Support Versatility, Energy Efficiency and Automation
Prima Power, a global leader in sheet metal working manufacturing solutions, is showcasing its next-generation combination of punching and laser cutting technologies with two advanced machines — the Combi Genius and the Combi Sharp.
Flexible, Productive, and Efficient by Design
The Combi Genius redefines flexibility, productivity, and efficiency in modern fabrication. Integrating high-speed punching and precise fiber laser cutting into a single, compact system, it allows manufacturers to achieve more with less.
Often described as the Swiss Army knife of sheet metal fabrication, the Combi Genius delivers all-in-one performance and adaptability while minimizing floor space requirements.
Powerful Integration for Maximum Throughput
At its core, the Combi platform combines a high-capacity turret with IPG fiber laser resonators available in 3-, 4-, or 6-kW power levels. This integration enables multiple operations — punching, tapping, forming, marking, and laser cutting — to occur in one setup. By eliminating the need for multiple standalone machines, the Combi Genius reduces production time and optimizes manufacturing space.
Both the Combi Sharp and Combi Genius perform rapid, high-quality cutting across diverse materials — including aluminum, mild steel, stainless steel, brass, and copper up to 8 mm thick. This versatility empowers manufacturers to quickly adapt to changing market demands.
Automation and Customization at Every Level
The modular design of the Combi Genius allows seamless integration with Prima Power’s automation systems, including automated loading/unloading, material handling, and smart storage. As production needs grow, customers can easily scale their systems without requiring a complete overhaul.
The Combi Genius supports up to 400 tools, reducing downtime and improving material utilization. Intelligent ram technology — with an optional rotating punching ram — further shortens setup times and enhances tooling flexibility. Compatibility with thick turret tools ensures users can continue leveraging existing inventories.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Built In
Energy efficiency is central to the Combi Genius design. The machine’s servo-electric EcoPunch technology delivers up to 82% energy savings, faster cycle times, and lower maintenance — helping manufacturers cut costs and reduce their environmental impact.
Automation features such as the Compact Express, LST/LSR part pickers, and the Night Train material storage system streamline handling and enable lights-out production for maximum throughput.
Smart Software for Smarter Manufacturing
Prima Power’s Tulus® Suite software simplifies programming and process management with intuitive touch interfaces, ERP integration, and real-time analytics. Operators can monitor workflows, adjust production in seconds, and ensure top-tier cut quality with minimal downtime.
Comprehensive Support for Long-Term Value
With its compact footprint and robust construction, the Combi Genius maximizes productivity while conserving space. Prima Power backs its systems with full life-cycle support, including process analysis, operator training, preventive maintenance, and remote assistance to ensure lasting performance and reliability.
