TruLaser 5030 fiber / 5040 fiber / 5060 fiber

Mild steel becomes extremely hot during laser cutting and may melt uncontrollably. With CoolLine, this does not happen. During processing, nozzles with precise bore holes spray water mist in a circle around the laser beam onto the workpiece. The vaporisation energy of the water means that the material around the laser beam is cooled. CoolLine therefore enables new geometries, closer nesting and increases process reliability for the processing of thick mild steel considerably.

One glance is enough: thanks to the new Condition Guide function, you are always informed about the condition of your machine. A traffic light system shows the status of important elements that influence the cutting capability of the machine. Condition Guide will give you recommendations for action as required. Process diagrams facilitate forecasting as to when action may need to be taken. Maintenance work can therefore be planned efficiently.

AdjustLine enables the easy adjustment of the cutting process to materials of different quality. The function increases process reliability, above all when cutting material of a poor quality. This results in fewer waste parts and lower material costs for you. The operator can switch AdjustLine on or off at any time – programming is not required.

Collision protection for your cutting head guarantees the highest process reliability. You benefit from shorter non-productive times due to increased machine availability. In the event of collisions, damage to the cutting head is avoided.

The Dot Matrix Code function enables parts to be labelled quickly and with process reliability using a standardised industrial code. Within seconds, the laser in your laser flatbed machine applies a 2D code (data matrix) made out of dots onto a part. It contains information for the process chain. The code serves, for example, to call up the corresponding program at the next machine.

Using the MobileControl app, you can operate and monitor your machines easily and with flexibility as the app transmits the interface of the standard control panel onto the touch screen of your tablet PC. The app enables you to call up machine information at different places in the working environment of the machine, such as the clearing area, or to change the program.

With Drop&Cut, remainder sheet is utilised more easily, intuitively and efficiently. A camera ensures that the live image of the machine interior appears directly on your user interface. You can position any number of part geometries on the remainder sheet. This saves a lot of time during the post-production of individual parts. Time-consuming process steps such as aligning the sheet, sheet position measurement or zero point displacement are not needed.

Clean protective glass ensures high cut quality in the long term. A sensor constantly monitors the state of the protective glass so that you know when it must be changed. Cleaning and replacement are only carried out when required, saving costs.

The optimal condition of the nozzle and lens is an important requirement for optimum process reliability and part quality. Smart nozzle automation combines intelligent functions, including LensLine, to increase the service life of your lenses. This is ensured even in fully automatic operation. The function independently detects and rectifies numerous issues which could impair the cutting result. This means you can plan cleaning and replacement cycles for the nozzle much more easily.

The properties of the laser beam play an important role during part production. This includes the focal position: if this is not set optimally, it impairs the condition of the parts. Smart beam control guarantees the correct focal position of the laser beam at all times, and supports you during the inspection of the cutting system. A sensor integrated into the cutting head permanently checks the position of the focus; if there are any changes, the function readjusts it. Smart beam control also opens up new diagnostics options – the machine's cutting system can be inspected remotely using remote support.

Smart collision prevention reduces the risk of collisions during laser cutting to a minimum. The process detects from the part contours the parts which are at risk of tilting. It creates an optimised execution strategy for the order: the laser skilfully navigates around parts at risk of tilting. They are only cut free when there is no longer the risk of collision. This means you do not need to use microjoints at all, saving costly reworking.

A camera system determines the position of inserted sheets precisely, and enables the reworking of parts which have already been cut with absolute precision. DetectLine also automatically measures a cut focusing comb and sets the focal position.

During cutting, the system monitors the kerf through the nozzle, oversees the cutting process and independently regulates the feed rate. Even if the thickness of a sheet varies, or it has been influenced by fluctuations in quality caused by rust or paint residues, the sensor system ensures the correct feed during flame and fusion cutting. Data analysis makes quick and stable cutting possible. This can prevent disruptions to cutting and noticeably reduces the number of reject parts. The operator is also relieved. They can pull up the most important process parameters or a live-image through the nozzle any time, and will be actively informed if the need for intervention arises.

Quick and economic – without compromising on quality: with Highspeed, you can set new records with the solid-state laser when it comes to cutting with nitrogen. As a result, you can almost double your sheet throughput for medium and thick mild steel and stainless steel sheets. It is also possible to double the feed rate. A special nozzle design also reduces your cutting gas consumption by up to 40% and even prevents burr formation on contours with sharp edges. The process also harnesses new sheet thicknesses for processing with nitrogen. In conjunction with the TruDisk 8001, the TruLaser 5030 fiber cuts mild steel with a thickness of 12 mm.

Extremely quick, extremely economical: with this Highspeed process, you can reduce your cutting gas consumption for cutting with nitrogen by up to 70%. This is enabled by a patented nozzle design. At the same time, you can almost double your sheet throughput for medium and thick mild steel and stainless steel sheets and increase the feed rate by up to 100%. Quality does not suffer as a result. Highspeed Eco even prevents burr formation on contours with sharp edges. The process also harnesses new sheet thicknesses for processing with nitrogen. In conjunction with the TruDisk 8001, the TruLaser 5030 fiber cuts mild steel with a thickness of 12 mm.

BrightLine fiber turns the solid-state laser into a universal tool: the function provides you with high-quality cutting results over the entire sheet thickness range. Furthermore, all of the advantages of the solid-state laser are retained, in particular the high speeds, during thin sheet processing.

PierceLine monitors and controls the piercing process. This saves material and preserves the machine, increasing part quality and shortening the piercing time by up to 80%.

During fusion cutting in thin sheets, the innovative performance nozzles and the optimised cutting data of the performance package provide you with two advances at the same time: a jump forward in quality and considerably higher productivity.
