Press Release Automated processing with the disk laser cuts parts costs laser system with solid-state laser, which is unique for its class, will also be equipped with a dual-station partition starting next spring. The dual-station partition allows for simultaneous set-up and laser processing with two available work areas each measuring four square meters. A sophisticated security system ensures that the laser’s high safety requirements are met. Above all, the dual-station operation offers job shops the opportunity to benefit from the high productivity of the solidstate laser flexibly and efficiently and reduce parts costs. The working range of the Y axis has now been increased to 2,000 mm, enabling users to process even larger components and thus expand their order processing capacity. Productivity high, parts costs low The productivity of the TruLaser Cell 7040 and its 3-kilowatt TruDisk disk laser can be seen when it’s compared to the CO2 laser model (5 kilowatts) from the year 2008. This model took 57 seconds to cut a B-column (cutting length 6,505 mm). The current model with solid-state laser cuts the same component in only 52 seconds. If all costs such as the original investment and operation are figured in, the user's manufacturing costs per component are reduced by more than 15 percent with the TruLaser Cell 7040. It works like CO2 lasers The TruLaser Cell 7040 with solid-state laser offers all the options that operators know and expect of machines with CO2 lasers.

Press Release Automated processing with the disk laser cuts parts costs programmable adjustment of the focus point, which must be adapted to the specific application. The FastLine Cell option allows the TruLaser Cell 7040 fiber to pierce on the fly – meaning the machine does not have to stop – which saves up to 40 percent in processing time. Where flexibility is called for, especially in job shops, TruTops Basic software also enhances productivity by allowing the NC programs to be customized directly on the machine – conveniently, easily and securely. It displays the NC track and the specially developed machine functions. This means that machine operation remains transparent and simple even with several geometric adjustments. One laser light cable – two applications TRUMPF presents still another functional innovation in the TruLaser Cell 7040 at the Euroblech trade show: cutting and welding with one and the same laser light cable. This is made possible by the new 2in1 fiber that TRUMPF developed especially for the TruLaser Cell 7040 with TruDisk disk laser. The fiber has two concentric fiber diameters in only one laser light cable. The inner fiber core has a diameter of 100 µm; the outer cladding's diameter is 400 or 600 µm. When cutting the laser beam is coupled in the inner fiber core; when welding it is coupled to the outer cladding. The 2in1 fiber ensures that the laser beam concentrically reaches the workpiece at the correct depth of field and the correct focus diameter. Users switching processing methods in the TruLaser Cell 7040 fiber must only replace the processing optic.
