Connected Metal Fabrication Systems

In Booths A2601, B103 and B11013, TRUMPF Inc. (Farmington, CT) will showcase their latest and greatest products in three themed areas: the Forming and Fabricating Pavilion, the Tube & Pipe Pavilion, and the 3D and Additive Manufacturing Pavilion. At their main booth, A2601, in the Forming and Fabricating Pavilion, they will highlight their TruConnect approach to manufacturing through the customized production of a part. Visitors will receive live production updates as the innovative fabricating machinery, automation systems and supporting technologies work together to keep information and processes connected like never before. In addition, the TruServices team will be on hand to discuss how they support the entire life cycle of the equipment with the best financing options, training, consumables, tooling, service and other solutions.

Also on display will be the TruMatic 1000 fiber, their first entry-level punch laser combination machine with a solid-state laser. This system features a revolutionary modular design that enables users to add to it as business grows. Its patented Delta Drive moves both the electric punching head and the laser along the Y-axis while the sheet moves in the other direction. This increases machine dynamics, productivity and process stability, contributes to a significantly compact footprint, and enables material handling options such as the SheetMaster Compact. The machine’s integrated protective housing, a requirement for safe laser processing, automatically moves out of the way during punching operations for maximum visibility and accessibility.

Also featured will be the TruLaser Weld 5000 turn-key system for automatic laser welding that allows users to weld deep and strong seams or nicely rounded, smooth seams using one system. This versatile system can be precisely tailored to meet shop needs with different component positioners. The TruLaser Weld 5000 is equipped with FusionLine, the next great advancement in laser welding that enables welding across gaps that are typically too large for laser welding by perfectly coordinating the laser, beam guidance and optics.

Also on display will be the TruLaser 2030 fiber with a 4 kW TruDisk laser. The TruLaser 2030 fiber is now available with BrightLine fiber for increased performance in cutting thin to thick materials. Also featured will be the TruLaser 5030 fiber that boasts high processing speeds and reproducible, high part quality, even for complex contours. Also featured will be the TruBend 3100 press brake, TruBend 5130 press brake with ToolMaster, the compact and highly efficient electric TruBend 7036 press brake, and the TruBend Cell 7000, the world’s fastest system for automated bending of small parts. The hydraulic TruBend 5130 features a press force of 141 tons, a six-axis backgauge and two patented angle measurement systems for maximum precision in bending. Its I-Axis enables the machine to shift the die bed from one position to the next for hemming, multiple radius tools or multiple height tools, all in a single setup.

With its excellent focusability due to high beam quality, the TruMark 5050 is the ideal system for high-quality engraving and the finest of structures. This fiber laser is the first choice in part because of its high productivity due to its high average power. This system will be shown in a TruMark Station 7000 during the show. The TRUMPF display would not be complete without featuring their line of portable power tools for cutting, fastening, beveling and deburring sheet metal. Also on display will be the unique TruTool TSC 100 slat cleaner that removes slag build-up on the support slats of 2D laser cutting machines without interrupting production and automatically adjusts to the thickness of the slag to maintain impressive working speeds as it travels.

At Booth B103 in the 3D and Additive Manufacturing Pavilion, the new TruPrint 1000 for additive manufacturing enables users to build metal components layer by layer, using any laser weldable metal in powdered form. This laser metal fusion (LMF) process is ideal for parts that are complex in their geometry, such as those with internal channels and hollow spaces, short production runs and individual parts. All components, including the laser, optics, process enclosure, filter unit and control cabinet are found within the TruPrint 1000’s compact housing. Also being showcased is the TruLaser Cell 3000 with Laser Metal Deposition package, a high performance 5-axis laser system that offers variable laser beam forming, fast changeover between processes such as welding, cutting, LMD, etc. and numerous other benefits.

At Booth B11013 in the Tube and Pipe Pavilion, the TruLaser Tube 5000 fiber will be showcased as the fastest tube cutting machine in the world. This machine utilizes the strengths of solid-state lasers in a way that no other machine ever has before. For the user, this means short processing times for a large range of possible tubes and profiles.
