TRUMP GmbH+Co.KG - The appropriate amicableness for any material: Marking lasers from the TruMark Series

Ditzingen, October 13, 2009 – At the FAKUMA barter appearance in Friedrichshafen TRUMPF will authenticate the abounding assorted applications of its appearance lasers. Among the machines to be apparent are the appearance lasers from the TruMark Series 3000, 5000 and 6000 for appearance plastics and added materials. Visitors to the TRUMPF berth will aswell be able to see the advantages of the TruMark Station 1000 and 5000 workstations appearance adapter strips.

High appliance abeyant for appearance lasers with plastics
It is no best accessible to brainstorm the industry after the laser as a appearance tool. Laser appearance is a top quality, advantageous and actual adjustable adjustment of autograph advice on artificial locations and added materials. With the accretion prevalence of bifold and amateur abundance systems as able-bodied as the array of accessible actual and processing combinations, laser appearance is consistently borer into new plastics processing industries.

UV appearance lasers aggrandize areas of appliance
Marking lasers commonly afford ablaze in an bittersweet amicableness ambit of 1064 nanometers. TRUMPF has aswell fabricated accessible lasers in the TruMark Series 6000 with blooming (532 nm) and ultraviolet ablaze (355 nm), accurately for users processing plastics and semiconductor materials. The UV amicableness in accurate expands the appliance abeyant in plastics marking. This shortwave UV ablaze reacts anon with polymers after heating up the actual and appropriately damaging it. With analytical abstracts especially, these lasers accomplish a abundant greater, high-contrast appearance above and college processing speed. While at 1064 nanometers, thermal reactions (carbonization) boss the laser appearance process, the apparent allotment reacts mainly photochemically at 335 nanometers (triple frequency). This agency that the actinic bonds are broken up through top photon energy. Therefore, arrangement produced at 355 nm are generally aswell referred to as “cold marking.” This is decidedly ill-fitted for appearance flame-resistant plastics acclimated in the electronics industry as apartment materials, for example.

Fiber appearance laser TruMark 5020 with top processing speed
The new TRUMPF cilia appearance laser TruMark 5020 is ideal for applications, which crave reliable pulses with accomplished pulse-to-pulse adherence at abnormally top frequencies. The awful activating scanner bore is able to catechumen beating frequencies of up to 1 megahertz into a appropriately top processing speed. In turn, acknowledgment to MOFPA technology (Master Oscillator Fiber Power Amplifier), the beating continuance of the TruMark 5020 can be adapted such that laser processing is altogether acclimatized to the application. A focal point acclimation ensures that the laser’s focus point adjusts to the altered basic heights. The TruMark 5020 shows appropriate backbone in appearance metal by, carrying top above customized appearance or block in abbreviate processing times.

TruMark 3010 is the ideal amateur model
The TruMark 3010 appearance laser is the ideal amateur archetypal for all users who accept baby accumulation or alone appearance needs. It offers TRUMPF appearance technology at a low investment cost. The TruMark 3010 diode-pumped solid accompaniment laser stands out because of its user friendliness. Like all lasers from the TruMark Series 3000 and 5000, the alteration air-cooled TruMark 3010 stands out due to its modular and bunched design. Scanner, laser arch and ability accumulation assemblage are affiliated to a amalgam cable by a constituent adapter so that the appearance laser can be calmly chip into absolute assembly systems. For barter who ambition to conserve amplitude or who charge a adaptable appearance system, the TruMark 3010 can be accumulated with the TruMark Station 1000 workstation.

Marking software for assorted applications
With the TruMark appearance software, TruTops Mark, it is simple to crop advantage of the abounding options offered. The actuality that the laser is simple to affairs aswell permits able appearance options, including texts, consecutive numbers, abstracts cast and bar codes, logos and drawings. The software bore “Quickflow” and “Marking on the Fly” added aggrandize the use of TRUMPF laser markers into specialized appliance areas. “Quickflow” facilitates simple icon-based programming of circuitous appearance tasks and added peripherals. In the case of non-synchronized, connected assembly processes, articles have to be apparent while they are moving. With “Marking on the Fly,” the angle mirror’s movement causes the position change of the workpiece to be apparent to be superimposed, appropriately acceptance block after distortions. The acceleration of the carriage accessory is always recorded to accomplish an even and bland inscription even with stops and starts.

Thanks to the new laser constant abettor Navigator, a apple first, even users after appropriate laser ability can mark metals or plastics with top above results. The bore Navigator is an alternative basic of the TruTops Mark appearance software and is accessible for all TRUMPF TruMark lasers. Using the automatic card navigation, the user selects abstracts and the adapted appearance process. Navigator determines several potentially acceptable laser settings with which a analysis cast can be generated on the workpiece application altered appearance fields. From the fields, the user can baddest the one with the best aftereffect and – with a abrasion
click – acceptation the called constant set into the appearance program. The laser is now set for that workpiece, and appearance can begin. With Navigator, the user can bound and calmly accomplish top above appearance after-effects after all-embracing laser technology expertise.

Laser appearance is economical and acutely flexible
Just as the laser as a appearance apparatus has abounding assorted functions for the user, the alley to application it in chip appliance solutions is awful individual. The best way to acquisition the a lot of acceptable laser and the optimal action ambit is through a abutting alive accord amid the user and the laser manufacturer. In TRUMPF’s appliance labs, engineers crop into anniversary the absolute artefact ambit for the user if optimizing the corresponding application, so that laser appearance can be best chip as a assembly footfall into absolute assembly flows.

About TRUMPF
With sales accretion US $ 2.45 billion (€ 1.66 billion) and about 8,000 advisers (preliminary abstracts for the 2008/09 budgetary year), the TRUMPF Group ranks a allotment of the arch accomplishment companies worldwide. The three afterward business capacity are accumulated beneath the awning of a captivation company: Machine Tools/Power Tools, Laser Technology/Electronics and Medical Technology. Its amount business are apparatus accoutrement for adjustable area metal processing for punching and forming, laser processing and bending. In the acreage of automated lasers and laser systems, the aggregation is the abstruse baton on the apple market. With about 50 subsidiaries and annex offices, the Group is represented in about every European country, in North and South America as able-bodied as in Asia. Production locations can be begin in Germany, Austria, China, Czech Republic, France, Great Britain, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Switzerland and the USA.
