To meet the need for lightweight and cost-effective components and assemblies, sheet metal is increasingly being used in flat, shaped and welded form. Today's industry is characterised by ever-shorter innovation cycles and by a greater variety of products To meet the need for lightweight and cost-effective components and assemblies, sheet metal is increasingly being used in flat, shaped and welded form It offers such a high degree of freedom in both design and manufacturing and has proved itself to be a traditional material with phenomenal potential. In addition to practical benefits, sheet metal also has the ability to be machined in an environmentally-friendly way and to be recycled with ease. As production batch sizes reduce, new concepts in manufacturing technology are required. In addition to quality, reliability and productivity, the maximum flexibility of production machines has become an important criterion, as has simple programming. Trumpf is renowned worldwide for innovation in sheetmetalworking technology. In many areas of its activity, it is the technology and market leader. The company's sheet fabrication and materials processing products continue to set new standards in punching, profiling, forming, laser cutting, laser welding and marking and measuring. The superiority of Trumpf technology is based on the combination of continuous innovation of new concepts and the further development of its existing product range. Visitors to the company's stand in Metalworking will therefore see several new introductions, some making their UK or even European debut. Automation with a small footprint. Space requirements for this new medium format machine with a working area of 2500 x 1250mm is just 6710 x 7310mm, including automation and safety barriers. Speeds of up to 900 strokes during punching and 2200 for marking and forming, coupled with high acceleration rates ensure high productivity on the new TC2020R. Strategic mix of mechanical and linear drives feature 5kW CO2 laser. This machine makes strategic use of linear drive technology and its speed and acceleration values are more than double those of comparable laser cutting machines. The new 5kW CO2 and the exceptionally fast power control ensure the L3050 is equally adept at high-speed cutting of thin sheet as well as the processing of thicker material. Fast and safe measurement of punched and laser-cut parts. With the new Trumpf Qualifier, parts that have been punched, laser-cut and formed on a punching machine can be quickly and precisely measured. A CCD camera scans their 2D contours and a laser diode measures the height of any forms which are then compared with the CAD target image. Bending narrow radii and small flange heights on press brakes. Represented at Metalworking 2002 by models TBV85S and TBV130, the TrumaBend V-series press brakes are characterised by generous daylight, throat depth, stroke length and extended backgauge travel. The Trumpf design removes many of the physical limitations that have prevented complex 2D blanks from being converted into 3D components. Quickly transforming design ideas into finished parts. ToPs products support all machine functions and take full advantage of the machines' technological capabilities to ensure higher productivity and process reliability. ToPs stands for Technology orientated Programming system and each member of the range has its own special area of application - ToPs100 laser processing - ToPs300 punching, nibbling and forming and ToPs600 bending. The new ToPs 800 for 5 axes laser processing will be demonstrated for the first time at the Show. Trumpf is now the world's largest producer of industrial lasers. With a product range that spans 20 Watts to 20 kiloWatts, its stand at Engineering Lasers cannot do justice to the breadth of applications in which its lasers - both CO2 and Nd:YAG - are currently involved. The focus is therefore on just two, laser marking and welding. State-of-the-art laser marking technology. Due to their high beam quality, the latest generation of VectorMark diode-pumped laser marking systems can be used for complex filigree inscription work. The double- and triple-frequency versions are optimised for the processing of plastic materials, providing shorter processing times and improved contrast without risk of surface damage. Install, plug in and start laser welding. Laser, cooling system, gas supply and extraction system are all integrated into this exceptionally compact laser welding station. It provides excellent repeatability and is suitable for both spot and seam welding. With an average power of 50W, ProfiWeld is highly economic even for small batch production. http://www.manufacturingtalk.com/news/tru/tru136.html |
