WPW Invests in State-of-the-Art Amada ENSIS 3015 RI Laser Cutter to Enhance Capabilities and Customer Service

In a major step forward for its manufacturing capabilities, WPW has invested in a new Amada ENSIS 3015 RI e laser cutting system, one of the most advanced and versatile machines of its kind on the market. The addition of this high-performance equipment marks a significant investment for WPW and reinforces the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation, efficiency, and exceptional customer service.

Expanding Capabilities with Advanced Technology

The Amada ENSIS 3015 RI e represents the very latest in laser cutting technology. Equipped with a powerful 3kW fibre laser source, the system delivers precise, fast, and efficient cutting across a wide range of materials and thicknesses. What truly sets this machine apart, however, is its multi-purpose capability: it can process not only sheet metal, but also tubes, channels, and angle profiles, all within the same machine.

This flexibility allows WPW to manufacture an even greater variety of components without the need for separate setups or specialist subcontracting. Whether cutting intricate sheet profiles or producing precision tube and channel parts, the new ENSIS ensures exceptional accuracy, consistency, and speed.

The machine’s Rotary Index (RI) system enables rapid changeovers between flat sheet and tube cutting, while its fibre laser technology ensures cleaner, faster cuts with minimal heat distortion. The result is improved edge quality, reduced finishing time, and an overall more efficient production process.

Designed for Precision and Performance

The ENSIS 3015 RI e utilises Amada’s unique Variable Beam Control technology, which automatically adjusts the laser beam’s shape and power density to match the material and thickness being cut. This allows the machine to handle everything from thin gauge sheets to heavy-duty sections, all while maintaining an exceptional level of precision.

The machine’s cutting area of 3,000mm x 1,500mm accommodates large sheets, while the integrated rotary system can process tubes and profiles up to 220mm in diameter. This makes the system ideal for industries that require versatility in both flat and tubular components such as construction, engineering, transport, and fabrication.

In addition, the machine’s energy-efficient design and minimal maintenance requirements contribute to lower running costs and a more sustainable production process.

Benefits for WPW Customers

For both new and existing customers, the investment brings significant advantages. By bringing this capability in-house, WPW can now offer:

• Greater flexibility: The ability to cut flat, tube, and profile components on a single machine means faster response times and the ability to meet a wider range of design requirements.

• Shorter lead times: Streamlined production processes reduce setup and changeover times, ensuring customers receive parts more quickly and reliably.

• Improved precision and consistency: Advanced laser control and automation deliver repeatable, high-quality results, even on complex geometries.

• Enhanced design possibilities: The new machine allows for more intricate and creative component designs, giving customers greater freedom in their product development.

• Cost efficiency: By eliminating the need for multiple processes or external suppliers, WPW can provide more competitive pricing while maintaining premium quality standards.

  
  

Supporting Growth and Innovation

The introduction of the Amada ENSIS 3015 RI e is part of WPW’s broader strategy to invest in cutting-edge technology that supports both current and future customer needs. The new system complements the company’s existing fabrication, welding, and finishing capabilities — including its recently upgraded powder coating facilities allowing WPW to deliver a complete, end-to-end manufacturing service under one roof.

A spokesperson for WPW commented:

“The new laser cutter is a game-changer for us. It dramatically increases our versatility and capacity, enabling us to respond more quickly to our customers’ needs while maintaining the high standards of quality WPW is known for. It’s an investment not just in technology, but in the future of our business and our customers.”

Looking Ahead

With this latest investment, WPW continues to build on its reputation as a forward-thinking manufacturer committed to quality, efficiency, and service. The Amada ENSIS 3015 RI e enhances the company’s ability to take on complex projects, deliver precision-engineered results, and meet the growing demands of customers across diverse industries.

By combining state-of-the-art technology with decades of manufacturing expertise, WPW is perfectly positioned to lead the way in modern metal fabrication delivering smarter solutions, faster turnaround times, and exceptional results for every customer.
