Prima Power has partnered with Siemens to apply SINUMERIK ONE control and digital twin technology to its latest 3D laser cutting model, Laser Next.

This is the first Prima Power 3D laser cutting machine on the market to be equipped with this type of system.

The SINUMERIK ONE control – Create My Virtual Machine – was a key element in the development of the new cutting machine, helping Prima Power’s R&D department to simulate and test processes in a fully virtual environment.

The solution enabled engineers to optimise the machine before the physical production of the Laser Next prototype, significantly reducing time to market.

Giovanni Negri, CEO of Prima Power and Prima Industrie Group said: “This successful collaboration between two industry leaders combines Siemens’ pioneering expertise in high-performance, digitally native CNC systems with Prima Power’s extensive knowledge of laser technology for automotive manufacturing. This synergy is embodied in our latest 3D laser machine, the fastest on the market, with +20% higher dynamic performance and +13% higher productivity for typical automotive production. Prima Power’s Laser Next is the first 3D laser cutting machine on the market to be equipped with Siemens’ SINUMERIK ONE, marking a significant milestone in the automotive production sector. This collaboration is a key element of our ‘Evolve by Integration’ strategy. We are providing our customers with advanced, future-proof solutions that take their manufacturing processes to new heights”.

“We are excited about this collaboration with Prima, as their renowned expertise in laser technology and innovative approach to machine design, particularly using the digital twin, have been key drivers for this fruitful cooperation. The Siemens Digital Twin & Digitalisation portfolio has enabled Prima Power to further optimise the performance and speed of the Laser Next machines, resulting in a significant increase in competitiveness. Siemens’ advanced technology provides a future-proof platform for Laser Next machines, ensuring high levels of performance and flexibility. It will enable us to meet the growing demands of end users for safe, powerful and innovative machines. We look forward to continuing this successful collaboration and driving further advances”, added Massimiliano Galli, Head of Motion Control at Siemens Digital Industries in Italy.
