OverviewThe TruLaser Cell 7040 is a modular 3D laser processing system for 2D/3D components and tubes. It switches flexibly between laser cutting, laser welding and laser metal deposition (LMD) and can be configured or retrofitted to match production requirements.
Key benefits- High productivity: advanced machine dynamics and cycle‑time optimization features shorten processing times.
- Improved operator ergonomics: movable/rotatable control panel and MobileControl app for operation from any position.
- Process reliability: X‑Blast technology and robust nozzle concept increase process stability and service life.
- Component quality: technology tables, guaranteed raw beam alignment and BrightLine Weld ensure consistent cutting and welding results.
- Industry 4.0 ready: modern control concept with OPC/UA interface for system integration.
- Modular and upgradable: configurable modules and retrofit options for tailored layouts.
Process flexibility and operationThe machine supports 2D and 3D laser cutting, laser welding and LMD. The 2‑in‑1 fiber solution allows multiple processes via one laser cable; process change typically requires only swapping the processing optics while the control adapts automatically. The ergonomic control panel (rotatable and movable) together with a 6D mouse simplifies teach‑in and fast axis movements.
Cost and installation advantagesTop dynamics, piercing on‑the‑fly (FastLine Cell) and dynamic cutting optics reduce cycle times. Two‑station operation, rotary changers and movable tables enable parallel loading/unloading for high volumes. The fast front door and integrated electrical cabinets minimize footprint and non‑productive times.
Applications (examples)- High‑quality cutting of galvanized steel sheets for automotive components.
- 2D/3D contouring and trimming of vehicle parts and prototypes.
- Laser welding of three‑dimensional parts (e.g. fan wheels) to save material and reduce rework.
- BrightLine Weld applications for near‑spatter‑free welding and higher throughput.
- Repair welding and coating using LMD to extend component life.
- Tailor welded blanks: combining materials and thicknesses with VisionLine and Multifocus optics.
Software- TruTops Cell: 3D programming environment that imports 3D CAD, generates process suggestions and device proposals.
- TruTops Boost: automation assistants for parameter selection, nesting and programming simplification.
Options and automation- BrightLine Weld, Smart Approach, Smart Optics Setup, ObserveLine and VisionLine for process quality and image processing.
- Two‑station partitions, rotary changers and movable tables for series production and ergonomics.
- Automation interfaces (Basic/Comfort/Professional) for different integration levels.
