CoolLine allows tighter nesting when laser profiling thick low carbon steel
The CoolLine option from Trumpf helps prevent problems arising in laser cutting material of inconsistent composition and surface quality, like thick, low-carbon steel, which can reach considerable temperatures near the point of cut. This excessive heat can impede the cutting process, especially where filigree shapes are involved. If the kerf overheats, it can even set off a self-burning reaction where the material left in the cut burns and causes slag to stick to the rear surface of the sheet.

Trumpf's CoolLine device keeps temperatures constant by spraying a fine water mist around the point of cut. The evaporation of just 30 ml of water per minute provides 1 kW of cooling and its use allows tighter parts nesting and narrower skeletons resulting in better material utilisation.
CoolLine can be quickly and easily retrofitted to a variety of Trumpf TruLaser models.
