Laser cutting for extra large sheets

Trumpf has developed a 2D laser machine for the processing of extra large sheets, up to 16 by 2.5 m.

Based on its twin-headed TruLaser 7040, the TruLaser 8000 comes with a range of options. In addition to the 4 by 2.5 m pallet changer a special large sheet version is available that allows for parallel loading and unloading of sheets up to 12 m long during production.

The user also has the choice of laser output with two TruFlow models available. The 3.6 kW laser is designed for thin and medium sheet thickness whilst the 6 kW version accommodates all sheet thicknesses.

The TruLaser 8000 can be equipped with two lasers for simultaneous cutting that, as well as doubling productivity also saves on factory floor space.

Several specially developed processing strategies ensure the quality of the oversized sheets, such as the ability to control the internal stress of material so that material up to 16 m in length can be cut without offset steps.
