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.
Two laser heads are three times better than one
In theory a twin-head laser profiler produces double the output of a 'normal' single-head machine.
Except in this case, it is around three times as productive!
This means that the TLC 6005 has lots of room for the three-dimensional laser cutting of bulky sheetmetal components all the way to entire car bodies.
Laser cutting is burr-free, wear-free and contactless, laser welding features extremely low distortion, and surface treatment includes processes such as partial hardening or coating.
The remarkable thing about the TLC 6005 is that it operates across the entire working area with a positioning accuracy of only +/-0.1mm, or 0.015 deg, thanks to its perfected beam guidance.
Its two horizontal axes are also very quick at positioning at 50m/min (vertical Z-axis 30 m/min).
In accordance with its suitability for all kinds of processing applications, a broad range of Trumpf CO2 lasers is available for the Lasercell 6005 - at present with laser outputs of up to 4kW.
The laser beam is routed to the TLC cutting head through a fully enclosed guideway.
Meanwhile the control mechanism AutoLas Plus not only keeps the focus constant across the entire working area, but also adapts it automatically to the material type and thickness being processed.
For quality assurance during laser welding, the TSD seam detector is optionally available.
It detects the weld edges and positions the focus of the laser beam precisely at the weld location.
The TLC 6005 also features an option for adding a measuring sensor to the machining optic.
This enables fixtures and workpieces to be measured directly right before processing, or the respective zero point of fixture, workpiece or support table to be detected.
The Lasercell 6005 is accessible on three sides for loading and unloading, and its flexible design enables material flow to be adapted to the respective task.
It is even possible to split the support table into two, and to separate the sections by means of a divider panel.
This enables setup parallel to production. Request a free brochure from Trumpf ...
