The advantages of TRUMPF laser cutting machines

How to use smart functions to fully utilize your machine's laser power

2D laser cutting machines from TRUMPF: when developing our laser flatbed machines, we work on the basis of your requirements. This means more than simply concentrating on cutting time alone. We help you get the most out of your system. No matter which TRUMPF laser cutting system you choose – the bottom line is that you will receive a harmonious complete package: a machine, a solid-state or CO2 laser, automation and software – all from one supplier.

1. Set up

Shorten the set-up process and convert power into output: Intelligent functions from TRUMPF prevent process disruptions caused by typical problems in laser cutting such as contaminated lenses or incorrectly adjusted sheets. Here are some examples:

2. Production

Quickly cut parts in top quality on your laser cutting machine even if you have little to no previous knowledge. Thanks to intelligent technologies, you can benefit even more from the advantages of laser beams.

3. Sorting

After cutting comes the sorting: usually a time-consuming and tedious work step. Intelligent functions help you to minimize sorting on the TRUMPF laser cutting machine.

4. Starting the follow-on process

Get the most out of your laser cutting machine by thinking about the next process step while cutting. Our compatible functions can help with this.

Set up


Production

CoolLine
CoolLine

Laser cutting of filigree parts and narrow contours in thick mild steel – the CoolLine function achieves this by keeping your workpieces at a constant cool temperature during cutting.

Collision protection
Smart collision prevention

Your cutting heads are kept safe: collision protection protects your laser cutting machine against collision impacts. Smart Collision helps to prevent collisions from happening in the first place.

Single-cutting-head strategy

Use the one-cutting head strategy to greatly reduce set-up times and process all sheet thicknesses with the same cutting head.

PierceLine
TruLaser Tube 5000, PierceLine controls the piercing process

High spatter residues at the piercing spot? Make this a thing of the past with PierceLine. Make precision piercing holes with minimum spatter residue extremely fast. PierceLine pierces only to the required depth. You benefit from higher part quality and shorter part times.

AdjustLine

Automatically adjust the cutting parameters to match the material quality: With AdjustLine, you can reliably cut any material quality, while reducing rejects and material costs.

Smart collision prevention
BrightLine fiber assistance system

Use smart collision prevention to cleverly and intelligently prevent collisions and microjoints on your laser cutting machine: The order in which the parts and inner contours are manufactured is calculated so that the laser bypasses those parts at risk of tipping.

BrigthLine fiber
Sample part BrightLine fiber

Do you want to produce filigree contours and even the tiniest piercing holes almost splatter-free? By combining BrightLine fiber with your solid-state machine, you can achieve excellent reliable edge quality on all sheet thicknesses.

Faster and more automatic: TruLaser machines are constantly evolving

As a leading supplier in laser cutting, we are continuously developing our machines and laser cutting technology further. We are working not only on the speed of the machines, but also on the processes around cutting. How can I sort faster? How can I reduce waiting times? Many of our solutions are presented here:

TruLaser 8000 Coil Edition

Higher flexibility, lower costs: the TruLaser 8000 Coil Edition is the highly productive, flexible laser blanking system for continuous trimming of coil material. Not only is it ideal for sheet metal processing job shoppers with larger lot sizes, but the laser blanking system also plays to its strengths in many applications for high-volume manufacturers.

EdgeLine Bevel: The new world of weld seam preparation

Goodbye, manual chamfers – Hello, EdgeLine Bevel! This new and unique function from TRUMPF automatically creates chamfers in the components during laser cutting, thereby preparing them for the welding process. This completely eliminates the need to manually apply chamfers and offers completely new possibilities in part design.

TruLaser Center 7030: the full-service laser machine

The TruLaser Center takes over the full process – from drawing through to the sorted part. It sorts both small and large parts fully automatically and does so parallel to production. You do not need to choose between productivity and process reliability because you get both.

Active Speed Control: a milestone in autonomous laser cutting

The laser cutting machine of tomorrow: the operator stands at the controls and the machine works almost automatically. The first step towards this is Active Speed Control, a system that monitors the cutting process and automatically controls the feed rate. This produces a stable cut and quality – even when the sheet thickness within the sheet fluctuates or there are paint residues or rust on the sheet.

Nitrogen generator preparation: Process for in-house nitrogen production

The desire for independence from gas suppliers and rising prices for liquid nitrogen are reasons for using a nitrogen generator. The operating principle is simple: an air compressor draws in ambient air and compresses it. The nitrogen generator removes the oxygen from this compressed air - nitrogen remains. Then a high-pressure compressor condenses the nitrogen, which is subsequently stored. Are you interested in generating your own nitrogen? We would be pleased to advise you.

(Almost) endless possibilities: Laser processing with TRUMPF

Our laser portfolio extends much further than just 2D laser processing. Marking of different materials, laser welding and 3D printing are just a few of the many options the laser tool provides. Our 3D laser cutting machines are particularly fascinating too. An example is shown here of how a TRUMPF laser can make cooking knives really sharp.
