Palletisation and latest control and diagnostics systems enable laser profiling system to cut dumper truck parts under 'lights out' conditions.
If the workpiece should come into contact with the laser head during laser processing, the contact is broken off in fractions of a second - before damage can occur to either the workpiece or the laser head.
A special highlight: After the incident, the head, secured with a plastic strip, is quickly reattached and the machine is ready for operation without having to be recalibrated.
The high precision afforded by a three-point harnessing and a stable connection between head and machine using permanent magnets and electromagnets are substantial features of this new solution.
At EuroBLECH, this new shut-down feature had already been integrated into the new TruLaser Cell Series 7000 and into the TruLaser Robot 5020. Request a free brochure from Trumpf ...
