In contrast to traditional 2D laser processing machines, on the TruLaser Center 7030 both the cutting head and the sheet metal move. The additional axis on the cutting head enables the machine to achieve first-rate cutting dynamics. This means that you can cut corners and complex contours at high speeds. This highly dynamic combination makes full use of the high feed rates of the solid-state laser.

The SmartGate discharges small parts into up to eight containers. Punching slugs and scrap fall into a slag cart. The intelligent SmartGate control and sensor system ensure that the part removal process causes minimal disruption to the cutting process.  It is your key for maximum throughput.

The SortMaster Speed perfectly stacks parts at lightning speed onto up to eight pallets. As soon as the SortMaster Speed takes the part, the machine continues cutting. The parts are transported to the deposit position parallel to production, which minimizes the disruption to the process.

The SmartGate forms the heart of the machine. Together with the brush tables, the SmartGate prevents tilting and unwanted welding of parts. The intelligent support moves along with the cutting head, thus offering comprehensive part support. The ejector cylinder automatically finds the best point for every part geometry to push the part out of the scrap skeleton. In the process, the part is fixed between the ejector cylinder and SmartGate and removed downward from the scrap skeleton in a guided movement. The SmartGate then opens and a sorting flap transports the part into one of the containers without affecting process reliability.

Stacking onto pallets also runs smoothly. The dream team, comprised of SmartLift and SortMaster Speed, is currently the fastest and most flexible automation solution in the market. The cut parts are pressed against the suction plate from below by the SmartLift pins, which can be positioned with flexibility. At the same time, the suction plate of the SortMaster Speed fixes the part from above. Fixed in this way, the part is taken out of the scrap skeleton by a synchronous lifting movement. As such, the part is securely held and cannot tilt in the hole. The SortMaster Speed suction cups provide the required flexibility – with a diameter of 0.35 in., they can hold and stack even intricate parts.

The TruTops Boost programming system automatically creates a proposal not only for the cutting, but also for the removal, sorting, and depositing of your parts. It can even take into account the laws of physics, for example, how to best press the part out of the scrap skeleton so that it does not tilt. This feature is one of a kind worldwide.

A sorting flap can distinguish finished parts from scrap and therefore, reliably separates the two. The SortMaster Box Linear sorting unit distributes small parts into up to eight containers parallel to production. The containers are intelligently assigned by the software program.

The processing cell also works reliably in unsupervised shifts. It loads and unloads independently and indicates when the operator is needed again. Due to this, they can plan their work at the machine better, and gain time for more demanding tasks – tedious waiting times, manual sorting, and costly reworking are a thing of the past.

To put the TruLaser Center 7030's enormous productivity to optimal use, connect it to a store. Different versions of material feed and part removal allow for the freedom that your shop floor needs.
