3D laser offers large volume production profiling
The new Trumpf LASERCELL 6005, a 3D laser processing center for cutting, welding and surface treatment with 5-axis flying optics offers large-volume part production.
Heavy duty laser profiler works through the night
Palletisation and latest control and diagnostics systems enable laser profiling system to cut dumper truck parts under 'lights out' conditions.
This machine has been specifically designed to cut and weld large and voluminous workpieces.
As with the two smaller machines TLC 1000 and TLC 1005, it can also machine flat sheets, profiles, hollow pro-files and three-dimensional workpieces.
Typical areas of application for the new TLC 6005 include prototype and medium batch production in the automotive, aerospace and plant engineering industries.

Trumabend brings accurate, consistent bends
The biggest benefits to come from the TrumaBend pressbrake to date have been its accuracy and consistency of bend, said Operations Director Tony Yapp at road sweeper manufacturer, Johnston.
The machine works according to the "flying optics" principle, whereby the workpiece remains stationary and the machining optic traverses the working area.
The working area is very large, and can be accessed from three sides.
Depending on the amount of modular extensionsadded to this laser ma-chine's working range, the workpieces for machining can be fed into the working area or passed through it.
The machine concept enables the use of a linear table changer in both the X and Y directions.
The machine is of portal design.
The stable machine layout, with its rigidity and optimized power flow, guarantees very high machine accuracy across the entire working area, even with high dynamics.
The portal style machine frame and traversing unit were optimized and calculated via FEM.
The TLC 6005 is equipped with a CO2 laser from the Trumpf TLF series.
Depending on the application, lasers with varying outputs from 1800 W to 4000 W are available.
They are dis-tinctive due to their compact design and low weight.
They are also exceptionally stable, service-friendly, reliable and eco-nomical.
The machine is equipped with a Trumpf CNC control based on the Siemens Sinumerik 840D.
This user-friendly control concept is clearly laid out and activity-oriented.
Utilizing the online help and diagnostics function, questions can be answered as soon as they arise.
Simple networking with the Windows standard, along with a clearly laid out NC program administrator both serve to facilitate ease of daily machine operation.
With its three Lasercells, Trumpf presents a product range for nearly every possible application.
It combines a common machine concept that provides the user many advantages: - Short familiarization time for operating personnel because control and user concept are the same - Problem-free program takeover because of same control.
- Universal machining optics.
- Maintenance-friendly due to matching machine modules. Request a free brochure from Trumpf ...
