Hey John,
Is this a Punch laser combo
You need to lose that Amada punch and Come to the dark side (German) and exchange it for a faster Trumpf machine maybe even a Punch Laser combo.

Amada is one of our competitors.
Nice setup with the Sheet storage and automation.
Isn't it so nice to make this kind of hardware up with these kind of machines!! The past two weeks I've cut a least 20-30 parts a day in about an hour or so. Then walk over to the press brake and bend this stuff within 0.005" Milling all these parts just isn't necessary and its so slow.
