Palletisation and latest control and diagnostics systems enable laser profiling system to cut dumper truck parts under 'lights out' conditions.
It saves time, costs and enhances workpiece finish.
The TSC-1 is a first.
There is no other dedicated cleaning tool for this purpose and Trumpf's innovation in this regard has resulted in it receiving the coveted 2006 UK German government Award for 'Outstanding Innovative Achievement'.
The TSC-1 underwent rigorous assessment before being declared the winner by the Munich and Upper Bavarian Chamber of Trade.
Until now, dirty pallets either had to be replaced or manually pounded with a hammer to remove the slag build-up.
It was a process that was time-consuming, not wholly effective and certainly not beneficial to the operator's health.
With the new TSC-1 it takes just 20 min to clean a standard slat measuring 1500mm x 3000mm.
Return on investment is good too.
The cost of a Trumpf slat cleaner is 75% of a single replacement pallet.
Even by comparison with the manual alternative a manufacturer will save, on average, about two-thirds of the cost of every cleaning procedure with the TSC-1. Request a free brochure from Trumpf ...
