One laser head CNC cuts all thicknesses

A flatbed CNC laser cutting and profiling machine - introduced at EuroBLECH - uses one cutting head to cut all thicknesses and there is also an optional nozzle exchanger.

The new flatbed laser machine, TruLaser 5030, the heir to the Trumatic L 3050 (TruLaser 5030 classic), is clearly superior to its predecessor with improved processes, greater dynamics and less unproductive time. The highlight of the TruLaser 5030 is the single cutting head strategy. Thanks to newly designed beam guide and cutting head interface, all sheet thicknesses can now be processed using the same cutting head: The machine automatically changes the laser beam depending on the material to be processed - no need to switch the head.

That's especially helpful for automated operation with various materials.

Even without automation the one cutting head strategy reduces downtime.

And with the optional nozzle exchanger there is no need to manually exchange the nozzle.

The integrated collision protection protects the cutting head from damage: The cutting head folds away during a collision.

It can also be returned to its place using a handle thanks to the intelligent cutting head interface.

The cutting head automatically reassumes the correct position in case of small collisions.

A further benefit of the TruLaser 5030 is the new FastLine process.

It optimizes the entire cutting action ensuring maximum economy: Processing times can drop by up to 50% in thin sheets.

The new process also reduces slag residue on the top of sheet metal.

The proven TruFlow 6000 laser is almost maintenance-free thanks to a magnetic bearing radial turbine blower.

The 6kW laser with radio-frequency excitation guarantees the best beam quality.

The power can be regulated as needed.

The LiftMaster Store supplements the TruLaser 5030.

It automatically loads and unloads the machine and deposits the sorted, finished parts - all with direct storage connection.

Finished, cut sheets and parts can be reliably re-stored as can scrap skeletons.

In the LiftMaster Store Linear extension the vacuum frame and rake can be moved in linear fashion.
