Punching and lasers in perfect harmony

The best of both worlds Whether you are a puncher or laser cutter: your customers’ quality requirements are on the increase. At the same time, cost pressure is on the increase and batch sizes are decreasing. It is therefore important to make precise calculations – which isn’t exactly easy when a part is manufactured on several machines. Your in-house logistics is also becoming more complex. So how do you obtain an overview and reduce your costs? By combining two technologies on a single achine. This simplifies your scheduling as well as your logistics, reduces m throughput time – and opens up...

“Without combined machines, there were often problems with components requiring several formings. If we forgot a thread, for example, post-production was required. This interrupted our production processes – and didn't bring in any extra revenue either. Nowadays, cutting and threading is c arried out fully automatically and a ccurately on a single machine.” Punching: Process parts in 3D Laser processing: Complete freedom when it comes to contours Logistics: Automated and transparent solutions “As a result of secondary processes it was previously difficult for us to make full use of our machines...

Sample calculations A combination that pays off With a TruMatic machine, you combine all the benefits of punch and laser processing: The punching head reaches standard contours and formings, whereas the laser cuts more complex contours, allowing you to produce a wide range of parts and even complete challenging orders on a single machine – which definitely pays off. Lean logistics – gain freedom Combined processing – best quality Short process chain – simple logistics If you integrate the process steps cutting, punching and forming on a single machine, that will reduce your calculation risk and...

Sample calculations Even with just the laser cut Laser-cut parts, produced on a 2D laser or punch laser machine The comparison of part costs shows: Even with traditional 2D parts, the punch laser machine is able to keep up with the pure laser machine, in addition she can remove parts independently. Holes for flat-head screws Mounting plate 1: 2D laser cutting with a 4-kW solid-state laser in a comparison of part costs with 2: TruMatic 1000 fiber; cost basis = Central Europe Parts with formed sections: processing on a punch laser machine or 2D laser machine including follow-up process steps Parts...

An ideal strategy for your success Machine With the aid of the unique machine concept, the tools demonstrate their strengths as comprehensively as possible: The punching head turns them at breakneck speed to any angle you wish – offering you maximum flexibility. The construction methods used by the TruMatic also avoid interfering contours in easily accessible processing space. Laser tool CO2 or solid-state laser: Your intended use determines which laser is best suited to you. For best results, laser, optics, machine and software also need to harmonize perfectly. Which is why we develop and build...

Before anyone opts for punch laser processing, they often ask: Does the technology do what it promises to do? Make the right choice: Only TRUMPF offers you 100% integration. Leading worldwide, we develop harmonious overall concepts: Laser, tool system, material flow, sorting of parts, automation and software – all the components of a TruMatic work hand in hand for your success. Benefit from the greatest experience: back in 1979, we were the first suppliers to launch this combined technology onto the market. Punching tool Thanks to the large number of designs, polished sections and coatings, you...

TruMatic 1000 fiber The laser machine at an attractive price that punches, forms and threads – using clever automation in the narrowest of spaces. Delta Drive allows the punching head to “fly” Clever removal of laser-cut small parts

LaserNetwork Your advantage: use the energyefficient TruDisk as needed in the laser network, because the s olid-state laser can supply several TRUMPF machines. 400 x 600 mm in size Unloading of parts

Delta Drive allows the punching head to “fly” proper sorting Compact and dynamic – the sophisticated drive system has been completely re-devised. The patented Delta Drive negates the need for the sheet and supporting table to move in the Y axis, by allowing the punching head to move back and forth. If needed, the punching head moves to the operator and – like the entire internal space – is easily accessible. Your machine sorts parts up to 180 x 180 mm in size auto matically. Good parts travel along a chute into an intermediate buffer. Up to four different boxes are placed underneath the machine....

floor space Thanks to the large parts flap, you can unload parts of up to 400 x 600 mm by automated means. A sensor checks whether the parts fall through the flap. It is therefore easy to remove parts during the punching and lasering process. The most compact punch laser machine in the world requires 24% less installation surface than the previous model and even automates in an extremely space-saving manner. The cleverly arranged laser protection also plays a part in this. Find out more about the SortMaster Compact: www.trumpf.info/yrgdb8 Technical data Working range Medium format Large format...

TruMatic 6000 Robust universal talent for high-quality punch laser processing. Reliable and productive, the machine delivers the best quality of parts for materials up to 8 mm thick. Quality throughout the line Robust process Setup time thanks to intelligent assistance systems cleverly reduce

Energy used sparingly

Robust process thanks to intelligent assistance systems From combined processing to removal of parts: With its r etractable die and brush bed on tables and parts flaps, the machine processes and transports your materials easily and gently. The CO2 laser TruFlow provides the finest quality edge. A variety of “smart functions” makes combined processing more reliable than ever. The machine monitors, for example, the condition of the punch and the correct positioning when loading the sheet. It is able to identify problems independently and even partially solve them – thereby aiding your operator...
