The TRUMPF CO2 lasers in the TruFlow series have been used in industry as universal standard tools in material processing for years. The flow lasers cut, weld and treat the surfaces of two- or three-dimensional parts in a reliable and cost-effective way. The wavelength of 10.6 µm and the large power spectrum from 2 to 20 kW give a great degree of freedom in the selection of material type and thickness. TruFlow lasers not only process metal, but also organic materials, compound materials and glass.
Thanks to its square design, the resonator is mechanically robust and temperature-resistant.
The cooling concept and intelligent energy management make TruFlow lasers the most energy-efficient lasers of their kind.
Wear-free laser operation with respect to gas circulation and RF excitation.
Optimally formed laser light using integrated and encapsulated beam guidance.
Continuous monitoring of temperature and degree of contamination.
Due to their outstanding beam properties and large power bandwidth, TruFlow lasers are not only well-suited for thin sheet applications, but for thick sheet applications as well. The process window, which is large due to the wavelength, ensures good processing quality, even with large sheet thicknesses and feed rates.
With TruFlow CO2 lasers from TRUMPF, you can create non-porous continuous seams, without deposits of molten metal discharge on tube conveyor rollers and profiles – and all of this around the clock. The TruFlow thus proves its high performance in continuous operation.
The TruFlow attains very good application results with thick sheet welding. Deep welds for highly stressed seams are possible, for example on differential gears for passenger cars and trucks, and are frequently realised in industry with the TRUMPF CO2 lasers.
With the TruFlow lasers, it is possible to cut fibre-reinforced composites such as CFRP without mechanical load. Due to good absorption in the basic structure of the plastic, the CO2 laser can demonstrate its advantages here.
Due to the wavelengths used, the CO2 laser achieves very good absorption with organic materials. Even low laser power leads to good processing results. Free contours and precise edges in woodcutting are possible with the TRUMPF CO2 laser.
As part of the EUV application, CO2 laser light is focused on a small drop of liquid tin in a vacuum chamber. This creates a hot plasma, which emits the EUV light (wavelength 13.5 nm). This short wavelength can be used to produce the finest of structures in semi-conductor lithography. This pioneering technology makes miniaturisation and increased productivity of semi-conductor elements possible.
Using the CO2 laser can also save weight in shipbuilding and therefore increase the load capacity. The low-distortion laser production and the high degree of automation significantly reduce the production costs.
The TruFlow can handle even the extreme ambient conditions in steelworks around the world when it comes to coil joining applications.

With TRUMPF, you have many options for adapting the TruFlow precisely to your needs. For example, you can set up your beam guidance with additional components such as a pilot laser, circular polariser, beam telescope and others. TRUMPF also gives you several options for the cooling water circuit. If necessary, you can use the active laser power control to keep your process even more constant or bring more flexibility to your production with a movable resonator.
In addition to the beam source itself, you can choose from an extensive selection of optical components and additional accessories. Many of these beam-guidance components fit under the laser hood such as the circular polariser, beam telescope, pilot laser or diameter adjustment mirror. Ventilation of the components with air that is filtered in several stages prevents the gas from becoming contaminated from outside.
To cool the laser, you can choose between water/water or water/air compressor cooling. If you are already operating your own cooling circuit, you can also use a plate heat exchanger.
Due to its mechanical stability, you can also potentially use TruFlow on mobile systems. There are two options here: either only the resonator moves and is supplied by way of a flexible RF cable, or the generator moves along with the resonator.
The active laser power control stabilises the laser power to deviations of +/- 1% and thereby keeps the process constant, regardless of ambient influences.
Lasers and laser systems – with us, the perfect pair. All beam sources are optimally attuned to the requirements of the TRUMPF laser systems. You can choose between numerous variants and options, resulting in a system that is precisely tailored to your task. TruFlow lasers are well-suited to both 2D and 3D laser cutting machines and can also be integrated in punch laser machines.
TRUMPF helps you with individual adjustment of the beam guidance to meet the relevant requirements. For this purpose TRUMPF ensures its customary high quality in offering individual optical components for integration into existing or newly designed manufacturing systems. This means, for example, that beam splitters or deflection mirrors, as well as a beam telescope or circular polariser can be integrated into the external beam guidance.
These mirror units offer 90° deflection and are available with apertures of 43 mm to 80 mm and a maximum load capacity of up to 20 kW. Their high, thermomechanical stability enables you to implement even challenging beam guidance tasks over large distances.
The 2-way beam switch consists of a radiation-resistant enclosed protective housing with integrated safety detection. The deflection mirror blocks are moved pneumatically on a precision linear guide and feature quick-change holders and electric mirror monitoring. An AS-i box is used as the electrical interface.
