LASER Trade Fair: TRUMPF Presents Robust Fiber Lasers For Highly Productive Industrial Use

Laser power from 500 W to 50 kW // New beam source is the heart of production solutions for welding applications // User-friendly control // Robust design for highly productive industrial use // Suitable for applications in all industries // Easy to integrate into networked manufacturing

High-tech company TRUMPF has developed new high-productivity fiber lasers that are suitable for numerous welding applications in all industries, such as high-precision welding of batteries for electric cars. "The new generation of TruFiber lasers is at the heart of our production solutions. Together with our programmable optics and sensor technology, they enable users to increase productivity in their manufacturing and improve the quality of the components they produce," says Tom Rentschler, Product Manager at TRUMPF responsible for the new fiber laser series. The high-tech company is presenting the new fiber lasers at the world's leading trade fair, LASER – World of Photonics in Munich.

Robust fiber lasers for industrial use
Users can order the TruFiber in many different power classes from 500 W to 50 kW and combine it with TRUMPF's complete laser system technology. This includes focusing optics such as scanners and fixed optics, as well as solutions for monitoring the status of the entire system. Lasers, controls, beam guidance, processing optics, sensors, and cooling are optimally coordinated at TRUMPF. Dynamic power control ensures precise and repeatable weld seams. This is advantageous for welding copper, for example. “The complete integration of control and optics, as well as its robustness, make the new TruFiber with its high beam quality the ideal tool for industrial applications where precision and efficiency are crucial,” says Rentschler.

Easy maintenance and operation
Thanks to integrated sensors, many of the laser's functions can already be monitored remotely, thereby eliminating potential errors in the welding process. If a TRUMPF service technician does need to visit the system, the modular design of the laser allows them to replace all components quickly and easily on site. This saves users time and money.

The user interface and programming of the control system are particularly intuitive. Operation is like that of a smartphone. “The new user interface greatly simplifies laser material processing. Such ease of use is unique in our industry,” says Rentschler.
