Robotic welding expertise: knowing how to do it

Are you new to robotic welding? Does laser welding sound promising, but you're not sure how to prepare the components? That's OK. As our partner, you get everything you need to start right away – whether welding parameters or know-how on fixture design. And more than anything, you will get a system that you can program in the blink of an eye.

This is what our customers say

We were worried that laser welding would only pay off from a high quantity. We now even weld individual pieces. I can even use an intern for this task whilst my specialist is preparing the next fixture.

Werner Neumann

CEO at CBV Blechbearbeitung GmbH

The exceptionally easy operation is a huge advantage. Programming is normally extremely time-consuming when setting up manual welding workstations. But the TruArc Weld is very easy to operate with just a little training. This makes the transition to automated welding very quick.

Automated welding with simple programming

We rely on simple programming in the TruArc Weld 1000 and TruLaser Weld 1000 to make automated welding as easy as possible for you. This means you operate and program them intuitively and without a lot of training. You create programs offline for the TruLaser Weld 5000 while the laser welding cell is working.

TruArc Weld 1000: ingeniously simple programming with the cobot

We provide the welding cell's collaborative robot (cobot) with an operating unit which stores the waypoints as well as the start and end points of the weld seam. Control also contains templates which simplify programming. This is how skilled welding professionals become programmers with just a little bit of e-learning.

TruLaser Weld 1000: optics simplify programming for laser welding

You move the robot almost like a cobot during programming with an operating unit in the optics. It is also easy to generate waypoints as well as start and end points in the optics. You immediately detect the correct intermediate layer using a pilot and line laser. Simple but ingenious.

TruLaser Weld 5000: visualisation and the sensor system make work easier

The system visualises the process with such precision that you can ideally view the weld seam and adjust the welding process. Sensor systems make your work even easier. TeachLine, for example, detects the position of the component precisely and adjusts your program appropriately before welding.

TruTops Weld, from CAD model to welding program in just four steps

TruTops Weld: offline programming and parallel production

You quickly create your welding program with the software while your TruLaser Weld 5000 welds. This saves non-productive time and adds speed: TruTops Weld calculates the robot movement automatically instead of approaching and programming each point individually. By the way, the software can take so much more work off your shoulders. Give it a try!

Machines with added value

Techsets and welding jobs included: we give you all sorts of useful welding parameters for your robotic welding cell. Whether you weld with the electric arc or the laser: save yourself the tedious search for parameters and fall back on our collective know-how.

Fill up on knowledge from experience

TRUMPF has decades of experience, particularly in laser welding – as your partner, we share this expertise with you.

Start with reliable parameters

Just start welding: tried and tested parameters are stored which resiliently tolerate even slight material deviations.

Just start welding

Speed or quality – for laser welding, you choose from different techsets for many materials and sheet thicknesses.

The position is decisive

Vertical-down weld or upright weld - for the TruArc Weld you receive parameters for the position of the weld seam.

WeldGuide – the reference guide for successful welding

We share exclusive tips and practical expertise on anything to do with laser welding in the WeldGuide. This helps you utilise your welding systems even better and discover potential for future orders. The information database is divided into different areas: Basics, Example Parts, Configurator and Calculator.

Basics

When is heat conduction welding suitable, and when should deep penetration welding be applied? How do I configure components so that they are laser-compatible? Which seam geometries can I weld? You can find everything you need here, from the basic concepts to specific application knowledge.

Example parts

What type of part do you want to weld, what are the requirements, seam geometry, material and sheet thickness? Just select the corresponding parameters and have the example parts displayed. By the way, as a customer you receive the appropriate fixture as a detailed CAD model to download.

Configurator

Configure your machine plus the corresponding welding optics. You can use this to easily check the accessibility of your components and fixtures in your own CAD tool. All standard machine and optics models of the TruLaser Weld 5000 are available to download in the WeldGuide.
