Trumpf doubles up on new machine launches

17 February 2021 • In Products
Trumpf doubles up on new machine launches

The new TruPunch 3000 is equipped with a TruDisk 3001 with 3kW of laser power

From the outside, the new TruPunch 3000 looks almost identical to its smaller sibling, the TruPunch 1000.

That’s because Trumpf has now incorporated its tried-and-tested Delta Drive into the Series 3000 to boost throughput and shrink the machine’s footprint. What’s more, the Trumpf developers have added a number of other features to this new machine to increase part quality and productivity.

Alongside the TruPunch 3000, Trumpf present its new TruMatic 3000 fiber punch-laser machine, which includes the addition of a TruDisk 3001 with 3kW of laser power. The result is an ideal machine for users who wish to benefit from the flexibility of laser processing combined with highly productive punching.

The TruPunch/TruMatic 3000 machines are highly productive and cost-effective even when used at medium capacity. With a working area of 2,500 x 1,250mm in the medium-format version and 3,000 x 1,500mm in the large-format variant, they can handle metal sheets up to 6.4mm thick. Thanks to the innovative Delta Drive concept, they offer a 9% increase in throughput compared to previous models. With a footprint of just 30m², the new model is some 25% compact than other comparable machines.

The patented Delta Drive eliminates the need for the sheet and worktable to move in the Y-axis because it enables the punching head to ‘fly’, or move back and forth, across the sheet. The drive system of the Delta Drive is powered by three servomotors and the key to its operation is how it couples the punching action with the travel along the Y-axis. The sheet and worktable do not move. This makes the punching process more reliable and boosts productivity.

The secret to this machine’s efficiency is the smooth flow of materials. Small parts automatically fall into a part chute that sorts them into up to four boxes. The TruPunch/TruMatic 3000 also features an additional, larger part flap that can eject parts measuring up to 400 x 600mm and deposit them into two containers.

The machine can be equipped with the SheetMaster Compact and SortMaster Compact to ensure smooth and efficient loading and unloading. These provide an automated system for loading sheets into the machine and unloading blanks, micro joint sheets and scrap skeletons. The part chute provides a gentle, reliable and automated means of ejecting and sorting finished parts.

The SortMaster Compact is small and barely needs any space outside of the machine

The machine also features a descending die to ensure high-quality, scratch-free parts. This moves down after the punching stroke, preventing contact between the sheet and the die when the sheet is moving and avoiding collisions that could cause scratches during punching and forming.

The TruPunch/TruMatic 3000 is also the first combined punch-laser machine from Trumpf to feature a control panel with a Touchpoint interface. Easier and more intuitive to use, this makes tool management simpler.

The Delta Drive and the TruDisk disk laser make the TruMatic 3000 fiber particularly energy-efficient. Compared to other beam sources, the TruDisk is particularly productive in the 6mm sheet thickness range. This laser makes the machine quick and easy to program, providing a level of flexibility that can even cater to small batch sizes. Other benefits include low initial investment costs and the machine’s high level of efficiency.
