Amada LC 2515 C1 AJe

The Amada LC 2515 C1 AJe is a compact fiber laser and turret punch combination machine designed for fabricators who need both laser cutting and punching capabilities but operate in space-constrained environments or at volumes that don't justify the larger EML or ACIES platforms. The machine pairs a 3 kW fiber laser with a 22-ton turret punch press on the standard 2,500 x 1,250 mm work area, delivering the same fundamental combination processing capability in a more accessible package.

The LC 2515 C1 AJe features Amada's patented bridge frame construction, which provides the structural rigidity needed for high-accuracy laser cutting while maintaining a compact overall footprint. The 44-station turret with 4 auto-index positions and multi-purpose turret (MPT) capability handles standard punching, nibbling, forming, and tapping operations. Four dedicated tapping stations enable threaded holes to be produced in the same setup as laser-cut profiles and punched features.

The 3 kW fiber laser source delivers the same efficiency advantages as Amada's larger combination machines — approximately one-third the electrical consumption of CO2 equivalents with three times the cutting speed on thin materials. The fiber source eliminates laser gas consumables and the beam path maintenance that characterized older CO2 combination machines in the LC series lineage.

The AMNC 4ie control represents the latest generation of Amada's combination machine interface, featuring a touchscreen with a 900-cut condition database, barcode reader for rapid program loading, and integrated bend simulation for downstream press brake operations. The brush table automatically lifts to support material during processing, providing scratch-free handling of sensitive materials. For shops stepping into combination processing for the first time, or established fabricators adding a second combination machine with a smaller footprint, the LC 2515 C1 AJe offers proven Amada combination technology at a more accessible price point.
