TruMicro Series 5000

Quick and cost-effective

Micro-materials processing: maximum productivity

The short and ultrashort pulse lasers from TRUMPF enable microprocessing with an optimal combination of quality, productivity, and profitability, with no limits in terms of industrial suitability. The particular pulse and power stability is achieved through the separation of pulse generation and pulse output. The patented control ensures monitoring of each individual pulse, and keeps the power and pulse energy at exactly the right level required for the application. The picosecond lasers of the TruMicro Series 5000 impress with their extremely short pulses and high pulse energy of up to 500 μJ. All of this together with excellent beam quality and high average powers of up to 150 W. This ensures maximum productivity in micro-materials processing. They vaporize virtually every material so quickly that heat influence cannot be detected. They are therefore, ideal for processing semiconductor materials, metals, dielectrics, plastics, and glasses.

100% tailored pulses

The ultrafast power modulator keeps power and pulse energy at an exact level.

All-around capability for cool tasks

Process temperature-sensitive materials without significant heat input.

Integration made easy

TruMicro lasers can be integrated easily and are compatible with all common interfaces.

Highly stable for optimal quality

Ultrashort pulse lasers from the TruMicro Series 5000 impress with extremely short pulses of less than 10 ps, as well as high pulse energies of up to 500 μJ. They vaporize virtually every material so quickly that heat influence cannot be detected. The patented two-stage laser power control with integrated external modulator makes the laser completely stable, from pulse to pulse and across the entire power range. The peak pulse powers are up to 40 MW.

Targeted heat input with the TruMicro Series 5000
Zero or targeted heat input

With laser pulses of a few picoseconds, materials can be efficiently processed, virtually without thermal or mechanical influences. To do this, the laser pulse – and therefore the duration of the energy input – must be short enough in order to avoid temperature compensation between electrons and their associated atoms. The material evaporates abruptly. The heat does not get into the surrounding material, and thermal stress fractures are avoided. This is referred to as "cold processing". For metals and many other materials, the ideal pulse duration for this is between 1 and 10 picoseconds.

Glass cutting with TruMicro Series 5000

Laser cutting of glass

When laser cutting glass, the mechanical load of the material is reduced to a minimum with a TruMicro ultrashort pulse laser – there are no cracks at the edges, which means that the cut components no longer need to be smoothed down. In the display industry in particular, chemically hardened glass is used as durable protective glass and carrier substrate, and must be cut.

High-speed laser cutting of glass

High-speed laser cutting of glass

Lasers currently represent the only low-impact and flexible process for cutting chemically hardened glass with a high breaking resistance. After the hardening process, the laser and the TOP Cleave cutting optics can be used to separate the glass with outstanding edge quality.

Flexible geometries for laser cutting of glass

Flexible geometries

Unlike mechanical processes, with the laser you can also use the wear-free, non-contact process for flexible two- and three-dimensional geometries. The picosecond lasers of the TruMicro Series 5000 are the perfect tool here.

Laser-cut stent with TRUMPF short-pulse lasers

Laser-cut stent

In the production of stents, burr-free cutting areas and edges are crucial. Picosecond lasers enable production without the need for reworking, and increase the output for the production of stents made from nitinol. The ultrashort pulse technology makes it possible to cut these bioresorbable stents made from the extremely heat-sensitive shape-memory alloy.

High-precision structuring of sapphire

High-precision structuring of sapphire

Sapphire protects the high-resolution cameras in smartphones, and is used as a substrate in LED production and as cover glass in high-quality products. It is extremely durable and hard. This makes conventional methods very difficult to use to process sapphire efficiently without cracks. With a laser from the TruMicro Series 5000, you can achieve a quality that does not require rework.

The picosecond lasers of the TruMicro Series 5000 enable fine geometries to be cut to a high quality. The high average power of the picosecond lasers also ensures maximum productivity.

Laser drilling a printed circuit board with a laser of the TruMicro Series 5000.

PCB drilling made easy

Modern printed circuit boards are designed with multiple layers and are therefore particularly compact. Holes lined with copper connect the traces between the levels. Here, the drilled holes often have a diameter of less than 100 μm. The picosecond lasers take care of this task in just one operation. The high available peak pulse powers enable the desired geometry and quality to be achieved, combined with extremely high productivity.

Good electrical insulating properties turn technical ceramics such as aluminum nitride, aluminum oxide, silicon nitride, and zirconium oxide into highly sought-after materials. With the picosecond lasers you can create bore holes in these materials with the smallest diameters and in high quality.

TruControl control

TruControl

TruControl is the quick and easy-to-use control for TRUMPF solid-state lasers. It regulates the laser power in real time in order to deliver reproducible results. TruControl manages, controls, and visualizes the interface configuration. You benefit from a uniform control architecture across all laser technologies. The lasers have interfaces to control intelligent TRUMPF optics, such as monitored CFO focusing optics or PFO scanner optics. You can easily program the processing optics via the laser control system. The remote support service provided by TRUMPF means that you receive off-site support within seconds. This will allow you to avoid service calls or be as prepared as possible and increase the availability of the laser device.

Useful additional options of the TruMicro Series 5000 lasers enable you to work more efficiently and with more process reliability

Interface variety – for simple integration

Interfaces are key for the integration of a TruMicro laser in your machine or production line. The solid-state lasers from TRUMPF offer interfaces to all common fieldbus systems. Also available: real-time interface, parallel digital I/O, interface for process sensor systems, OPC UA software interface, analog input board, interface for intelligent TRUMPF optics (CFO, PFO).

Remote Services

In the event of a fault, TRUMPF service experts will remotely access your laser via a secure remote connection. In many cases the fault can be remedied directly in this way, or the configuration of the laser can be modified in a way that permits you to continue manufacturing until the spare part arrives.

TRUMPF offers you all the components you need for beam guidance from the laser to the workpiece. This also applies for various focusing optics which have proven themselves to be precise and reliable over many years of industrial use. The optics can be easily integrated – both in stand-alone processing stations as well as in complete production lines. The modular structure enables the optics to be continually adapted to the laser types as well as various processing situations.

TOP Cleave cutting optics

The TOP Cleave-2 focusing optics are processing optics for high-dynamic cutting of transparent materials, such as glass or sapphire.

Ultrashort laser pulses are not only ultrashort; they also achieve peak values for pulse qualities such as energy and power. To ensure that the correct pulse is applied on the workpiece despite the peak intensity, special beam guidance and formation elements are required. TRUMPF offers beam switches, deflectors, beam expanders, and polarization optics that are optimized for use with ultrashort pulse lasers.
