DITZINGEN and MUNICH, Germany, Jul 1, 2025 – High-tech company TRUMPF has developed the TruMicro 9010, a new ultra-short pulse laser (USP laser) with an output of 1 kilowatt. The very high power output for an USP laser makes it particularly attractive for processing large surfaces. “Unlike many other USP lasers, the TruMicro 9010 is not only suitable for processing small components. The laser’s high power enables our industrial customers to process large surfaces with high productivity. Even in roll-to-roll processes with high productivity requirements, users can cut contours from flat materials with the TruMicro 9010,” says Steffen Rübling, Product Manager at TRUMPF responsible for the new USP laser. The high-tech company is presenting the TruMicro 9010 at the world’s leading trade fair, LASER – World of Photonics, in Munich.
Laser beam splitting makes the TruMicro 9010 highly productive
Users can split the laser beam of the TruMicro 9010 with special optics. This allows hundreds of fine holes to be drilled simultaneously. This is ideal for the manufacturing of filters, for example. “Many applications are only economically viable thanks to the high power of the TruMicro 9010, which is 1 kilowatt,” says Rübling. When the TruMicro 9010 is coupled to a polygon scanner, this rotating scanner distributes the pulses across the workpiece at a speed of up to one kilometer per second. In this configuration, the TruMicro 9010 is particularly well suited for large-area applications. Not only structuring, but also cleaning surfaces is possible at this high speed.
High performance enables numerous industrial applications
The high single pulse energy of 10 millijoules of the TruMicro 9010 enables users in the electronics or steel industries, for example, to cover various industrial applications with just one laser. “This increases productivity, saves costs, and reduces the amount of space required in production,” says Rübling. The TruMicro 9010 can, for example, cut contours, remove material, and apply markings in a single operation. This means that users do not need multiple laser sources or multiple processing stations, but can perform several steps in one location with a single laser source.
In addition to material processing, the laser parameters of the TruMicro 9010 are also suitable for future applications such as secondary sources thanks to their high peak intensities.
