TruLaser 8000 Coil Edition

The highest productivity and best part costs for series production

The highest productivity and best part costs for series production

Broad range of variants in series production: many customers find themselves facing this challenge – regardless of whether they manufacture small, medium, or large quantities. That's where the TruLaser 8000 Coil Edition, a highly productive and flexible laser blanking system from TRUMPF, comes in. Sheet metal processors often use press lines for series production, but have to manufacture bending tools for each new product variant – an expensive and time-consuming process. Tool-free and flexible processing with a laser directly from the coil saves time, materials and money. But even compared to conventional laser cutting from the sheet, laser cutting from the coil offers massive advantages in terms of cost and efficiency.

Equipped with an ARKU precision leveller, the ARKU belt system together with tried and tested TRUMPF quality combine to form a highly automated, turn-key entire system with many advantages for customers. In collaboration with SIEMENS, an innovative control was developed – from coil unwinding, aligning and laser cutting to completely integrated, robot-based component removal. All steps are automatically programmed by TruTops Boost, up to part unloading with the robot.

Lower material costs

Every sheet comes from a coil. Enjoy the benefits of a significantly reduced procurement price for coils as opposed to sheet goods.

Less scrap

Continuous nesting optimally utilises your materials, which in turn significantly reduces scrap and thus component costs.

Shorter cycle times

Within one very short cycle (less than 10 seconds), new material is brought into the machine via conveyor, the portion that is cut is transported to the unloading place, and at the same time, the scrap material is disposed of.

Fully automated part removal

The integrated robot and gripper system allows for significantly quicker discharge times and flexibility when it comes to removing components.

Partially automated functions make it possible to change coils in the shortest amount of time. While the residual materials are still being processed, the coil can be changed parallel to production.

With short setup times and high availability, you benefit from high cost-effectiveness over the entire service life of the system. The system is characterised by its compact design, high speeds, higher process reliability and short coil change times. Coils up to 25 t in weight and up to 2150 mm in width can be accommodated as standard.

Precision levelling system

The precision leveller from ARKU delivers consistently good levelling results for robust laser cutting. During roller levelling, the coil material passes through alternating bends, flattening it and lowering tension. The component can then be cut safely and then removed from the scrap skeleton. Steel, stainless steel or aluminium can be processed; higher strength steels are of course also possible.

Strip storage loop

The strip storage bridge supplies the laser cutting cell with material, decoupling the material feed cutting process from the material feed. The belt speed in the precision levelling system is reduced to a minimum, but never stopped. This avoids the risk of surface damage, such as levelling marks, to the strip. The feed rollers integrated in the strip storage transport the strip material into the laser cutting cell at high speed.

TruLaser cutting cell with TruDisk, including conveyor belt

The heart of the laser blanking system is a proven TruLaser cutting machine. The coil material is transported linearly through the machine, significantly reducing non-productive time compared to conventional laser cutting systems. This is made possible by a support belt newly developed by TRUMPF. While the new material is transported in, the processed material moves out, and at the same time the crushed scrap skeleton is discharged via a scrap conveyor belt. This increases the entire system productivity many times over.

Automated robot unloading

One, or optionally two, robots enable parallel-to-production unloading and precise, repeatable stacking. The complete integration of the robot kinematics into the control architecture eliminates the need for robot-specific programming expertise. The nesting of the cutting parts, removal by robot and palletisation are already determined during programming in TruTops Boost.

Scrap disposal

Small separating cuts are made in the scrap skeleton during the cutting process. This way, the scrap skeleton breaks into smaller pieces during removal and can be disposed of in a cost-effective manner. The scrap conveyor belt can transport scrap out of the machine in three directions as required – either straight ahead or via a transverse conveyor belt to the left or right. In this way, scrap removal can be integrated into your individual scrap logistics
