Trumpf introduces the Trumatic 7000 CNC

A Trumpf product story
Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Nov 25, 2008

Trumpf's Trumatic 7000 CNC flat bed laser cutting and profiling machine incorporates a flying optics and additional axes in X and Y on the cutting head to allow quicker positioning.

It has a decentralised controller that combines the high performance Indramotion MTX with Bosch Rexroth's drive-based Indramotion MLD motion controller.

The controller is ideal for processing detailed parts with complex contours.

The higher level NC control system regulates the workpiece movement.

The drive-based motion logic moves the laser head in an additional 52mm radius.

This combination increases traverse speed.

It also enhances stability, enabling the machine to run more smoothly and with less vibration.

A beam guidance system on the Trumatic 7000 means the machine can use the same cutting head to process sheet metal in a variety of thicknesses.

An automatic nozzle changer reduces downtime and increases flexibility.

The Trumatic 7000's 52mm-diameter laser-die cuts up scrap for it to be disposed of.

The machine has a laser flap to shorten part removal.

It can be lifted by one or two millimetres so the sheet does not touch the laser die during cutting, eliminating any danger of scratching the underside.

An active die that works from the bottom like a second punching head also contributes to scratch-free processing.

The active die is built into the work table and its height is adjustable.

When the sheet is positioned or moved on the machine, it can be lowered under programme control.

The active die also allows higher and larger forming and upward/downward forming in a single step.

Because the sheet lies on the table, it is possible to process closer to clamps to achieve better material utilisation and reduced scrap.

The automation options on this machine have been enhanced to match the high productivity of the Trumatic 7000.

The Sheetmaster loading and unloading unit, which integrates easily into the open NC control system, allows the machine to cut and unload up to four parts simultaneously.

It is equipped with four moveable suction bars, each one comprising up to 80 vacuum-monitored suction cups that grip the parts before they are separated from the sheet skeleton.

The last few millimetres of the cut are carried out with a stationary sheet to increase process reliability for fine geometries.
