Digital networking of machine tools

Regardless of whether you are already connected - the goal is clear: be ready to increase complexity and decrease lot sizes in sheet metal processing. By using our TruConnect range of solutions, we will support you step by step to your Smart Factory. No two paths are the same: the TruConnect components are combined to meet your requirements for the ideal solution.

Transparency

We create transparency: throughout the entire shop floor, regardless of the age, manufacturer or technology of your machines

Overview and flexibility

Provides clarity and flexibility: saves hard cash and valuable time

Simple integration

Simplifies integration of TRUMPF machines and external machines in monitoring systems

Easier condition monitoring

Facilitates condition monitoring and analysis as well as the provision of data for local systems.

Seamless integration of many TRUMPF machines into your own software world is very easy. We have the right solution for every combination, be it integration in TruTops Fab or a connection to a TruTops Monitor.

What can you do with existing machines if they do not have a standardized data exchange function? TRUMPF has the perfect solution for this.

Connect machines from third-party suppliers with the world of TRUMPF

Do you need transparency for your entire machine pool, regardless of the manufacturer or the age of your machine? No problem, we offer a solution for your production with the Basic Connectivity Kit.

The Basic Connectivity Kit integrates machines from third-parties suppliers and older TRUMPF machines in TruTops Monitor

Once installed, the Basic Connectivity Kit provides signals depending on the operating status of the machine – and it is astonishingly easy: "Machine is stationary without malfunction", "Machine is stationary with malfunction", "Machine is in operation". TruTops Monitor interprets information and displays it analogously to your other machines in the dashboard. This works round the clock at all workstations in your production. Of course, new TRUMPF machine tools are integrated in TruTops Monitor as standard.

Connect TRUMPF machines with your individual monitoring system

Most current machine tools from TRUMPF have the option of setting up an OPC-UA-based communication using interfaces. The interface for the production status, for example, supplies information which can be used to detect the capacity utilisation of your machines and to process it in your individual software system.

The OPC UA Retrofit Cube integrates older TRUMPF machines into your monitoring system

Machines without interfaces for standardised data exchange due their age require the OPC UA Retrofit Cube. It provides the proprietary digital interfaces even for software from third-party suppliers. The system consists of an industrial PC with an OPC UA interface. As soon as it is connected and configured, it provides the available signals for you locally.
