The HELIO company in Czech Republic designs professional indoor and outdoor lighting systems such as healthcare facilities, bus stops, trains and subways.

Starting from aluminum profiles, it produces high reliability and superior quality lamps.

The bases of these lamps, being large, are usually made with a press, but the variety of models to be manufactured would have forced the purchase of a large amount of tools, making products noncompetitive for costs and long production times.

To solve this matter our technical office realized feasibility and programming study by identifying in the auto-index, single head TP Alpha the most suitable machine: in fact, the possibility of rotating any tool, including the one to beam, from 0 ° to 360 ° combined with CNC special features for high speed tools (Wheel Tool, Rolling Shear, Rolling Rib) and fine cutting, have allowed the creation of prototypes to be introduced to Eng. Stanislav Jurčík, have his consent and acquire the order of the proposed punching machine.

As always, offline software Jetcam CAD / CAM has been used, which displays and imports .dxf and .dwg files, selects the best tool and allows automatic nesting for a minimal material scrap.

Helio company is now able to produce irregular shapes pieces with major deformations at very fast times, while maintaining the high quality level at a low cost.
