TruDiode lasers contain virtually no consumables. The intelligent cooling concept with integrated heat exchanger means that there is often no need for an external laser cooler. You can also cool optics and optical laser cables with the cooling water of the diodes. Together with the high energy efficiency of the TruDiode lasers, this leads to very low investment and operating costs.
Cost-efficient welding expert
The extremely energy-efficient TruDiode diode lasers impress through optimal results and low operating costs. These lasers deliver top-quality seams for deep welding, heat conduction welding and laser metal deposition, soldering and plastic welding. With its modular, space-saving design, you can integrate the TruDiode easily in your production systems. You can supply up to four work stations flexibly within the laser network.
Stable processes through integrated, active laser power control ensure reproducible results.
The TruDiode saves resources thanks to its high degree of efficiency and intelligent energy management.
The welding expert joins plastics or metals, both with and without auxiliary materials.
With its direct diode principle, the TruDiode impresses with a footprint that is considerably less than 1m2.
Long service life through passively cooled diode modules
Plastic welding with TruDiode
The TruDiode diode lasers enable non-contact welding of thermoplastics by means of transmission welding. Here they achieve connections that are extremely strong, dense and aesthetic. The transmission welding process enables virtually any welding geometry in the overlapping joint. The precise energy input results in only a minimal thermal and mechanical load.
Soldering
Soldering with the laser produces an optimal join between the mating parts with the solder. The lower melting temperature of the filler material in comparison with the component material means that only the solder melts when the laser is used for processing. The solder flows into the joint gap and bonds with the surface of the workpiece (diffusion bonding).

TruControl
TruControl is the control software for your TRUMPF solid-state laser – for quick and simple operation. You can program pulse shapes individually to match your application. The laser power is controlled in real time to ensure maximum reproducibility of your process results. In order to retrace important quality data of your produced parts even years later, the optional DataStore software module records all data relevant to quality. If external control systems are present, TruControl will communicate with them via all standard interfaces. Inputs are made via the touchscreen of the operating panel or via a panel PC. You can integrate your laser into the network via Ethernet and connect multiple PCs.
With TRUMPF you have the option to flexibly adapt your solid-state laser to your installation and operating situation. This applies, for example, to all beam guidance components and the control. You also have several options for the cooling water supply. Interfaces for different optics are provided right from the start. To save costs, your beam source can also supply several work stations at the same time. The TRUMPF Remote Service helps you to ensure your systems remain available, anywhere and at any time.
Regardless of the age of the laser device or the ambient conditions, the laser power is maintained at a specified value (with a typical deviation of ±1%). This ensures that the process results are reproduced across the entire service life of the laser.
Processing optics and optical laser cables can be cooled easily and conveniently using the laser cooling water. Separate cooling is therefore not necessary.
In the event of malfunctions, TRUMPF service experts will remotely access your laser via a secure remote connection. In many cases the fault can be remedied directly in this way, or the configuration of the laser can be modified in a way that enables you to continue manufacturing until the spare part arrives. This enables maximum availability for you.
Interfaces are key for the integration of a TruDiode laser in your machine or production line. The solid-state lasers from TRUMPF offer interfaces to all common fieldbus systems. Also available: real-time interface, parallel digital I/O, interface for process sensor systems, OPC UA software interface, analogue input card, interface for intelligent TRUMPF optics, e.g. CFO or PFO.
The TruDiode has interfaces to control intelligent TRUMPF optics, such as monitored CFO focusing optics or PFO scanner optics. You can program the processing optics easily via the laser control system, and there is no need for an additional PC or control. Recorded data and associated limit values incl. warnings and error messages can be visualised in the TruControl laser control system.
With the laser network, you can connect one or more TruDiode lasers with up to two or four work stations in each case. In the process, your laser either splits its power to multiple stations, or it supplies them alternately with full power. This increases the capacity utilisation for the laser, reduces the part costs, and even enables you to combine different applications.
Thanks to the TRUMPF sensor system, your production will always be both effective and cost-effective. The sensor products VisionLine, CalibrationLine or integrated pyrometers ensure stable processes by monitoring all the procedures in laser production, thus making a key contribution to your process reliability. Processing continues uninterrupted during the measurement – no interruptions are required, saving you valuable production time.
Image processing
TRUMPF VisionLine image processing detects features on the components and ensures that welding is always performed in the correct location.
Calibration tool
The TRUMPF CalibrationLine tool checks and corrects the focal position and laser power on the workpiece at regular, individually definable intervals.

The TRUMPF temperature control ensures high-quality visual results for plastic welding.
Melt travel monitor
The TRUMPF melt travel monitor monitors the lowering of the component during the laser transmission welding of plastics.
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. It is, of course, also possible to integrate our lasers directly into your production lines.
TRUMPF offers you all the components you need for beam guidance from the laser to the workpiece. This also applies for various focusing optics which have proven themselves to be precise and reliable over many years of industrial use. The optics can be easily integrated – both in stand-alone processing stations as well as in complete production lines. The TRUMPF processing optics are perfectly tailored to the TRUMPF lasers and are available for all wavelengths.
