Trumpf introduced a new laser-cutting machine at its Intech in-house trade show that specializes in oversized sheets. The TruLaser 3080 fiber fabricates parts in sheets up to eight meters long and is particularly adept at cutting large and heavy parts weighing up to 7,850 kilograms, such as facade components and trailers for trucks or cranes. The TruLaser 3080 fiber can also be used for small and medium-sized parts, so operators can easily use it to its full capacity and make optimal use of their production capacity. The machine can handle sheet thicknesses up to 50 millimeters and processes a variety of materials ranging from aluminum to mild steel. The TruLaser 3080 can be used in multi-shift operation without requiring complex automation. It comes with an automatic pallet changer that automatically inserts a second sheet as soon as the laser has completed its first cutting pass. This results in an overall machining area of 40m2 of sheet metal and allows the machine to cut parts for several hours without the operator having to add any additional raw material.
