2-D laser cutting machine includes 8-kW fiber laser

TRUMPF offers the TruLaser 5030 2-D fiber laser cutting machine, available with an 8-kW TruDisk laser for increased productivity when processing medium and thick sheet metal.

The machine can process complex contours and thin sheets while minimizing the cost per part, the company states. The BrightLine fiber, CoolLine, and enhanced PierceLine functions assist in processing thicker materials as well.

CoolLine, a new feature for solid-state lasers, stabilizes the cutting process in steel by use of targeted cooling. This results in greater material tolerance while enabling more intricate material contours and a tighter layout of parts, says the manufacturer. The new PierceLine function enables the laser to process smaller contours while boosting speed.

The Smart Collision Prevention option helps minimize the risk of collision during laser cutting. The function analyzes the cutting process to determine where cut parts are likely to tip and adjusts the processing strategy to accommodate. This can most often be achieved without adding microjoints to the part and can reduce downtime caused by collisions.

The Drop&Cut feature enables operators to use part skeletons for additional production. Operators are provided with a live image of the machine’s interior on the control unit’s user interface. From the control unit, the operator clicks or taps the screen to drag the programmed contour to the desired location on the projected sheet and initiates the cut.
