Expand the programmable focusing optics from TRUMPF with options for image processing. PFO is able to detect geometries on the surface of the workpiece and adapt the laser process to the individual processing situation.
TRUMPF optics for remote processing
The programmable focusing optics from the PFO line are scanner optics for remote welding and cutting. Using two mirrors, the laser beam can be positioned in any specified position within the processing field or space, or be guided along any seam geometries. They can thus be welded without moving the workpiece or the focusing optics. Additionally, no shielding/assist gas is required.
State-of-the-art, digitally controlled drives ensure a fast pace
Robot, laser and programmable focusing optics are synchronised and positioned precisely in real time
In the PFO portfolio you will find a solution for every application, from the low-power to the high-power range.
Increased process reliability and quality through an optional connection of intelligent sensor solutions.
Set up laser welding and cutting programs in an intuitive, mobile and quick way with the PFO SmartTeach app.

The programmable focusing optics (PFO) from TRUMPF are especially well-suited for quick and reliable processing of large workpieces. The combination of robots and PFO brings together the best of both worlds: a large work area with excellent dynamics and precision, and a long focal length that allows large working distances from the workpiece.

Scanner welding of a car door
Using two mirrors, the laser beam can be positioned in any specified position within the processing field or space, or guided along any desired contours. Since neither the workpiece nor the optics have to move, the PFO enables a high degree of productivity, while processing costs remain low and process results are reliable. "On the fly" processes can even be realised using a special control unit.

A high degree of precision and repetition accuracy across a large working range – robot-guided scanner welding results in immense increases in productivity with large workpieces.

Scanner welding with PFO 3D
The mirrors in the PFO 3D programmable focusing optics work in a highly dynamic manner. Quick beam deflection shortens processing and positioning time considerably.

PFO 14
The PFO 14 programmable focusing optics are ideally suited for spot welding or path welding where high speeds are required. The 2D scanners function according to the pre-objective scanning principle. This allows them to reach all points in the scanner's processing space with high dynamics and consistent beam quality, at a near-constant working distance. You also benefit from easy focusing lens replacement, due to the fact that calibration data is saved in a storage device on the focusing lens. You can easily join complex components with multiple weld seams.

PFO 20
The third-generation PFO 20 can generate laser power of up to 6 kW thanks to the revised base body and optimized cooling system. With a digital drive architecture, lightweight mirrors and new software features including Realtime Contour Check and Scanner Precision Control, the PFO 20 is extremely well suited to ultra-dynamic welding and cleaning applications with high process stability requirements. The robust design of the collimation and the base body increases resistance to dirt and back reflections.

PFO 33
The third generation of the PFO 33 stands for maximum productivity and can be used for applications with a laser power of up to 12 kW. The lightweight mirrors and the new drive architecture enable maximum dynamics. In addition, optimised mechanical and optical assemblies improve the robustness of the optics against back-reflections. Options such as protective glass monitoring and Condition Monitoring help to maximise the availability of your production.

PFO 3D-2
The PFO 3D-2 programmable focusing optics constitute a 3D scanner which is also based on the pre-objective scanning principle. This allows all points in the scanner's processing space to be reached with high dynamics and consistent beam quality, at a variable working distance. All NC programmes are saved locally in the PFO, which also allows for operation without a PC. Optionally, the 3D scanner is also available with TRUMPF TruTops I-PFO offline simulation software, seam tracking with SeamLine Remote triangulation, and the CalibrationLine calibration tool.

PFO SF
The PFO SF small-field scanner is the compact and versatile scanner with a small work area for quick beam oscillation.
By selecting the right options (objective, collimator and sensor system), the small-field scanner can be flexibly adapted to your application. The PFO SF is suitable for a power range of up to 12 kW. It is not only powerful but also smart, with functions such as the protective glass monitoring unit. The optics can also be integrated across the entire TRUMPF range of solutions.

TruTops PFO
TruTops PFO is offline software for 2D and 3D programming of your PFO. You can define any paths, edges, or planes of objects created in the CAD editor or loaded from external sources as welding seams. You can simultaneously take into account clamping fixtures in order to optimise the welding sequence and therefore the processing time. The software makes it possible for you to program different wobble methods. You can use the network to connect TruTops PFO with TruControl.
![Product image TruTops I-PFO](/filestorage/TRUMPF_Processed/_processed_/0/9/csm_TruTops-I-PFO-product-picture_bf62b64b53_530cce7656.jpg)
TruTops I-PFO
To make the most of the advantages of intelligent remote processing, you can program the I-PFO with TruTops I-PFO. The offline 3D development tool determines the ideal process and optimises the path and speed. You can simultaneously take clamping fixtures into account in order to optimise the path of the robot and welding sequence, and therefore the processing time. The software also analyses the cycle time and presents it virtually.

PFO SmartTeach
PFO SmartTeach is an application for your programmable focusing optics in the PFO series. It makes creating and setting up laser welding and cutting programs easier. The camera installed on the C-mount of the optics transmits the live image to the app. This enables convenient teaching directly at the component. If you want to create and teach in PFO geometries, you can do this by way of intuitive gesture operation on a tablet PC.
In addition to a range of processing optics, TRUMPF also offers you the right machines and beam sources to be used with these. This allows you to find exactly the right combination for your application and requirements – all from a single source. When it comes to beam sources, TRUMPF offers all the relevant lasers for the industry. You can rely on our experts, trust us to always have the best solution in mind for your production tasks, and know that we will advise you independently of any preferred technologies.
Expand the PFO programmable focusing optics with a variety of innovative functions.
![Integrated camera system for the PFO](/filestorage/TRUMPF_Processed/_processed_/3/6/csm_Lasers-options-camera-connection_e1d07e95c3_b3bdd85e27.jpg)
Various cameras can be directly adapted to the PFO. A digital colour camera system enables the sharp detection of contours and edges, for instance. The software of the PFO supports camera operation by way of touchscreen, crosshairs that can be set digitally and the saving of images. Even in low light, the coaxial and therefore direction-independent lighting brings everything into perspective.
The intelligent PFO (I-PFO) recognises its own position in the work area of the robot, as well as the position and orientation of the processing points. Based on information on the current robot movement, the I-PFO independently starts processing as soon as it is possible in terms of geometry and process technology. Remote processing "on-the-fly" is thereby possible, which greatly reduces both the positioning time of the robot and the cycle times in your production operations.

![Reduction in contamination and spatter thanks to the crossjet option](/filestorage/TRUMPF_Processed/_processed_/c/d/csm_Lasers-options-Crossjet-PFO_0bf0c45311_173e0dd40d.jpg)
Crossjet is a compressed air flow that runs orthogonally to the laser beam. It diverts contamination and spatter and thereby extends the service life of the protective glass. The laser process becomes more robust.
