PRODUCT FOCUS
STRIPPIT QX-L
MID-RANGE PUNCH-LASER DELIVERS VALUE
The new Strippit QX-L brings the power of combination punch-laser technology to a mid-range machine that makes advanced fabrication more accessible than ever before.
THE QUINTESSENTIAL COMBO
Single-head 20-ton design
handles material thicknesses up to 3 mm and requires minimal tool setup and changeover. All 20 direct-drive tool stations are indexable a full 360 degrees to any angle and accommodate tool diameters up to 90 mm for super versatility.
Full-sheet processing in a 3050 x 1525 mm format
saves production time, material usage and material handling.
4-kW laser source
is all the power needed to process a range of materials in virtually unlimited shapes with high precision and tight tolerances.
Forming up to 75 mm
to produce complex shapes, as well as countersinks, tabs, knockouts, louvers and even continuous embosses.
Smart ram control
in a fully programmable system able automatically optimises the punch press ram motion for maximum output.
Strippit Smart Clamp
makes 100% sheet utilisation possible with no worksheet dead zones.
Programmable 474 x 525 mm chute
allows punched parts to quickly be offloaded straight from the machine to a parts bin.
Why combination technology is a smart move
Strippit QX-L couldn’t come at a better time. As more shops bring production in-house to lessen the impact of tariffs and reduce dependence on suppliers, more capable and affordable manufacturing technology is a must, and the combination machine is worth a look.
“The QX-L advances Strippit’s legacy in punch-laser innovation with a modern, next-gen combination machine.”
WHEN IT'S THE RIGHT COMBO
High-mix, low volume or low-mix, high-volume
Strippit QX-L delivers high efficiency across different manufacturing environments. It can output at high volumes and easily transition to low-volume or prototyping applications, maintaining performance in both. With integrated punching and laser cutting capabilities, the combination machine eliminates the trade-off between flexibility and economies of scale.
Manufacturing is more complex
Near-zero tolerances are needed for critical parts for aerospace, advanced materials and special alloys are more commonly used, demand for more customized products requires more flexibility in manufacturing. By bringing together the strengths of both technologies, Strippit QX-L makes it easier to produce complex parts with high precision and consistency. And because this happens on a single machine in a single setup, there’s less chance for errors and more repeatable quality.
Workflow needs improvement
Integrating punching and laser cutting into a single machine can be a smart solution for a more streamlined workflow. Traditionally, a fabricator will laser cut blanks and then move them to the punching machine one at a time, maybe add a louver or countersink. With Strippit QX-L, this is streamlined in one process.
More value = competitive gain
The flexibility of Strippit QX-L helps add value to the parts and products you’re producing and does so for less cost. With the laser you can cut features that would be too small to punch out, cut detailed shapes or sharp corners difficult to punch without investing in specialized tooling. On the punch, you can add value by forming, tapping, and deburring.
Automation on the radar
Strippit QX-L incorporates automation in a way that lasers and stand-alone machines can’t. It offers dedicated part handling and removal in the form of drop door or work chute systems for both punch and laser, skeleton removal, and part picking and sorting in real time. Completed parts can leave the machine from the drop door onto a conveyor or into a bin sort system or can be evacuated onto a pallet underneath the table. Having a single multi-purpose automated machine means less skilled labor required to operate the machine and to handle parts.
Floor space considerations
A single machine occupies less floor space than two separate systems. Even for shops with ample floor room, it makes sense to make the best use of production space. With a growing focus on sustainability, reducing resource consumption and minimizing waste, a two-in-one machine aligns with these goals.
Why Strippit QX-L?
