TRUMPF Launches TruLaser Series 3000 Bevel Cut Edition Laser-Cutting Machine

DITZINGEN and HANOVER, Germany, Sep 6, 2024 – At the EuroBLECH trade show in Hanover, TRUMPF is launching a new machine that automatically prepares components for welding. The TruLaser Series 3000 Bevel Cut Edition can produce beveled cutting edges (chamfers) on the top and bottom edge of the component while cutting. This ensures optimum preparation of the welding edges and saves the otherwise necessary downstream work step. “With the TruLaser Series 3000 Bevel Cut Edition, users get a particularly productive universal machine with which they are able tointegrate downstream process steps into laser machining,” said TRUMPF Product Manager Patrick Schüle. The new TruLaser Series 3000 Bevel Cut Edition can apply chamfers to sheets of up to 25 millimeters thick. “Thanks to the unique design of the cutting unit, the machine can create chamfers of up to 50 degrees, depending on the sheet thickness, which is more than the 45 degrees that were previously standard in the industry,” explained Schüle. The machine can also handle complex bevel geometries with ease. The solution is particularly suitable for mild and stainless steel.

The TruLaser Series 3000 Bevel Cut Edition prepares the welding edges optimally by automatically generating beveled cutting edges on the contours of the components while cutting. 

For the 2D processing of components without bevels, users still have access to all the proven TRUMPF laser-cutting functions, such as Highspeed Eco for gas consumption reduction, FlexLine for the reliable processing of different material grades and EdgeLine Bevel for the rounding of the upper sheet edges.

High flexibility in bevel design

For this solution, TRUMPF has equipped the cutting unit of the TruLaser Series 3000 Bevel Cut Edition with two additional rotary axes, particularly compact drive motors and a nozzle specially developed for bevel cutting. Thanks to the special design, the cutting head can be tilted in all directions up to an angle of 50 degrees. As usual, the cutting unit regulates the distance to the sheet, minimizing the risk of collision despite the steep angle. The TruLaser Series 3000 Bevel Cut Edition is also equipped with TRUMPF collision protection.

The TruLaser Serie 3000 Bevel Cut Edition also produces complex bevel geometries and countersinks without any problems.

Thanks to the high flexibility of the cutting unit, it is possible to create bevels in different geometries. In addition to the classic V and Y edges, edge geometries in which both sides of the component edge are provided with bevel cuts, so-called DV and DY edges are also possible. This flexibility in the edge geometry is particularly advantageous when complex components or groups of components are to be welded. To meet the high demands placed on the preparation of complex bevel cuts, TRUMPF has developed a new, particularly simple and intuitive programming system. It contains a preselection of all the processing strategies, which the user can flexibly adapt as required. There are also predefined cutting parameters for the special bevel cut nozzles. This does not reduce the high productivity of the TruLaser Series 3000. TRUMPF is launching this solution at EuroBLECH.
