TRUMPF TruLaser 3030 laser cutting machine

TRUMPF TruLaser 3030 laser cutting machine was built in 2012. The machine, used for precision cutting of structural steel, stainless steel and aluminium sheets, uses a stable 3200 W laser beam, which is generated by a reliable laser source with the highest energy efficiency. Thanks to high-frequency current gas excitation, excellent cutting results are achieved with low gas consumption. The laser beam itself is additionally repeatedly ventilated with filtered compressed air to prevent the entry of contaminants.

The cutting unit, consisting of a head and a 7.5″ lens, is mounted on a lightweight, laser-welded crossbeam. The beam is driven by a backlash-free double-sided rack-and-pinion drive, running on roller and ball bearings on flat guides. This solution ensures that the mobile unit provides optimum speed and accuracy in machining. On the other hand, the work table with integrated automatic pallet changing system allows simultaneous loading and unloading of workpieces during the cutting process, resulting in increased production efficiency and reducing machine downtime to a minimum.

The TRUMPF TruLaser 3030 BE laser comes with an extensive range of equipment, including the high-tech ControlLine system. This system maintains a constant distance between the head nozzle and the surface of the sheet during cutting, so that the working head does not collide with the workpiece. The operator also has at his disposal the CAD/CAM software system TruTops, which optimally distributes the cut shapes on the workpiece so as to make the best possible use of the material. The machine has been serviced regularly throughout its life – the last service took place in January 2024. The TRUMPF TruLaser 3030 Basic Edition laser cutting machine weighs 10500 kg.
