PDM EVENT 2016, 14th & 15th June 2016, Telford
Stand no. A040
The ever-growing variety of plastics and their tremendous range of properties can present challenges for those seeking to match a suitable processing laser to the material and identify the perfect operating parameters. Laser expert, TRUMPF, is in a unique position in this regard as it has developed the widest range of laser types, beam sources and optical systems. At PDM 2016, the company will therefore be focussing on the benefits this wealth of choice can bring to plastics cutting, welding and marking.
All laser types are also subject to continuous development. For example, the TRUMPF TruDiode lasers now have an efficiency of up to 40%. The new TruDiode 151 and 301 diode lasers are particularly suited to welding thermoplastics. Extremely powerful, tight and aesthetic joints can be produced by these products; almost any weld geometry in the lap joint is possible. The lasers are modular in design and offer good output scalability.
Being shown for the first time in the UK at PDM 2016 is the TRUMPF TruMark Station 3000 with a TruMark 5010 beam source. This compact, simple, safe and industrially robust workstation is ideal for customers with small and medium batch sizes who want to integrate the marking process into their production lines. It is comfortable and intuitive to operate and offers a real desktop solution and, thanks to the removable transfer flaps at the side, it is equally suited to one-off part marking or batch production.
With the new TruMark 5010 marking laser, TRUMPF has added another fibre laser option to its highly successful TruMark 5000 series. It is designed as an all-in-one solution, combining fibre laser, scanner, control and internal focal position adjustment inside a compact housing. With its key interfaces, space-saving design and air cooling, the TruMark 5010 is easy to integrate. It combines excellent average power with brilliant beam quality, delivering cost-effective results, even in demanding marking tasks.
