Murata Wiedemann Motorum 2048

The Murata Wiedemann Motorum 2048 is a high-speed CNC punch/laser combination machine that represents the upper tier of Murata Wiedemann’s fabrication system lineup. The Motorum series was developed to combine the speed advantages of turret punch presses with the contour-cutting versatility of fiber laser technology in a single, unified platform — minimizing material handling and secondary operations.

The 2048 designation refers to the machine’s working envelope: 2,000 mm x 4,800 mm, making it one of the largest capacity combined punch-laser platforms available from a Western-lineage manufacturer. The punching unit delivers 200 kN of force through a servo-electric drive, while the integrated fiber laser head — typically 2 to 4 kW — handles internal contours, complex cutouts, and marking tasks that complement the punching operations.

The Motorum 2048’s control architecture uses a unified CNC that manages both punching and laser cutting from a single program, allowing the machine to dynamically switch between processes without operator intervention. Nesting software integration via DXF or IGES files enables optimal blank utilization. The servo brush table provides high-speed, accurate sheet positioning throughout the extended working envelope.

For shops seeking to consolidate punch and laser operations under one roof without purchasing two separate machines, the Motorum 2048 represents a compelling total cost of ownership proposition. Typical customers include HVAC fabricators, electrical enclosure manufacturers, and general sheet metal job shops processing high-variety part mixes.
