The IFM1050 is a modular laser CNC platform for forming microstamping structures onto metal components used to manufacture firearms. Designed for ease of use, the IFM1050 receives an eight-digit code through its onboard computer server. The server digitally translates the code into a corresponding NC base G-Code\/M-code sequence to laser process a firearm component with a specific microstamping element.<\/p>\n
IFM1050 is part of a series of tools dedicated to IFM, or Intentional Firearm Microstamping.<\/p>\n
With an enhanced series of automation options, the IFM modular laser system can be outfitted with various material handling automation, including bowl feeders, robotic systems, and pallet\/conveyor systems.<\/p>\n
