SHEET METAL Compact powerhouse
The new 2D laser cutting system, named TruLaser 2030 fiber and built by TRUMPF, combines the advantages of a compact unit and the performance and power of a higher series of machines.
exactly that. Intuitive controls, minimal space requirements, and quick and simple installation are its distinguishing features. In addition, this machine, powered by the TruDisk solid-state laser, very rapidly cuts thin sheet metal in particular. The machine’s enhanced dynamics and the motion unit with gantry drives also contribute to high productivity. Numerous functions such as the one-cutting- head strategy and an optional nozzle changer have been adopted to achieve shorter non-productive periods.

High productivity and reduced non-productive periods Standard equipment for the TruLaser 2030 fiber is the TruDisk 3001 with three kilowatt laser power, the
igh output from a compact system. The TruLaser Series 2000 from TRUMPF offers
four-kilowatt version TruDisk 4001 is optional. The machine offers, therefore, the advantages of solid- state laser cutting. Its strength is found in sheet metal thicknesses up to twelve millimeters, where it is highly productive. It also offers the flexibility to process thicker materials. At three kilowatts of power it can cut mild steel up to 20, stainless steel up to 16 and aluminum up to twelve millimeters thick. At four kilowatts, the boundary is raised to 20 millimeters of stainless steel and mild steel as well as 16 millimeters in aluminum. Non-ferrous metals are also handled by this line. Depending on the laser power selected, the system can cut copper and brass sheet at up to six or eight millimeters. All the materials and thicknesses can be separated with a single cutting unit. That saves setup time, since it eliminates the need to change out lenses or cutting heads. The collision protection built into
the cutting head and an automatic nozzle changer with space for as many as eight nozzles reduce the non-productive time even more. Anyone who wishes to boost
the machine’s performance capacity further can later combine it with the LiftMaster Shuttle, an automation component for loading and unloading. In various configurations, it opens up additional growth perspectives for the production capacity and is available for retrofitting. A further option, in order to use the system to full capacity, is integrating the TruDisk laser into a laser network. An optional, additional outlet can be built into the TruDisk. It can thus power not only the TruLaser 2030 fiber, but another machine or a robot cell, as well. This saves the procurement costs for a second laser and makes it economical to approach laser welding, for instance. If the TruDisk 3001 is
positioned outside the machine’s case, it can supply as many as two additional systems.
Space-saving and easy to operate
The key components for the machine – including the switchgear cabinet, compact dust removal unit, and the laser itself – are integrated into the machine’s frame as the standard configuration. This makes the TruLaser 2030 fiber very small in size and thus saves space. Including the pallet changer, the footprint is a mere 7.8 by 5.9 meters. The work area is easily accessible, both from the rear and from the front. Large windows, and the LED illumination in the machine’s working chamber, offer good overview of the entire working area, at full safety from the laser beam.
Additional properties of the
TruLaser 2030 fiber simplify the work – especially for those new to laser cutting – since operation
