TRUMPF TruLaser 5030 L68 fiber laser

TRUMPF TruLaser 5030 L68 fiber laser was built in 2017 in Germany by Trumpf GmbH + Co. KG. The machine, designed for precision machining of sheet metal made of structural steel, stainless steel and aluminium, is offered with state-of-the-art components and extensive equipment. These include a resonator with the highest energy efficiency, which generates a stable 3 kW fibre optic beam. The mobile, adaptive lens system located in the universal cutting head ensures optimum beam geometry for different sheet thicknesses and materials, resulting in the highest cutting quality at maximum feeds. In addition, special systems incorporated in the machine allow for the machining of waste material.

The laser power is regulated analogously to the feed rate on the advanced SIEMENS SINUMERIK 840D SL CNC control. What’s more, the workshop programming integrated into the control system allows programmes to be created directly from existing geometry data in just 5 steps. The TruLaser 5030 fibre laser also features a reliable multi-chamber exhaust system with compact filters equipped with a spark separator. This device eliminates the contamination generated during processing, while repeated shaking cycles of the filters ensure that their cleaning properties are optimally utilised, throughout its service life.

The entire production process, from sheet loading to the unloading of finished parts, is fully automatic. Along with the machine, the LoadMaster loading system with a sheet stand, suction cups and magnets for separating the sheets works together. This system allows for the safe loading and unloading of workpieces with a maximum size of 3000 x 1500 mm in a very short time. The TRUMPF TruLaser 5030 laser cutting machine with LoadMaster sheet metal loading system weighs 7900 kg.
