TRUMPF plays a significant role as a customer as well as a supplier for the Swiss sheet metal processor Keller Laser AG. The partnership and mutual trust have strengthened over decades. As a test customer of the full-service laser machine TruLaser Center 7030, the Strategic Managing Director Stefanie Schwarz-Keller and her team were successfully convinced by all the opportunities offered by automation.
Challenges
Keller Laser AG produces sheet metal parts as well as complete assemblies for machine construction, railway vehicle manufacturing and systems engineering. The process reliability as well as part quality are some of the greatest challenges for the company, particularly for complex and delicate parts which run through the machine in large series. For this reason the company was looking for a machine that kept downtime caused by collisions with overturning parts as well as programming effort as low as possible. Keller became a test customer for the TruLaser Center 7030.
