OverviewThe TruMatic 3000 Fiber is a punch‑laser combination machine that merges electric punching with a TruFiber solid‑state laser for integrated part manufacture. Its hybrid DeltaDrive axis concept and fully electric punching drive offer a compact, energy‑efficient production solution for series and multi‑shift environments. Two versions accommodate different productivity requirements and automation levels.
Key benefits- Process integration: Punching, laser cutting, forming and tapping on a single machine without tool transformation.
- Series‑production quality: Descending die and brush or ball table options ensure scratch‑free, paint‑ready surfaces.
- Automatable workflows: Built‑in part removal flaps and compatible automation modules (SheetMaster, SortMaster, storage interfaces) for continuous operation.
- Energy efficiency: Fully electric punching plus TruFiber laser reduce system power input and CO₂ emissions.
Technical highlights- Hybrid DeltaDrive axis concept paired with TruFiber solid‑state laser for high throughput and low energy consumption.
- Standard configuration: 165 kN punching force, 650 strokes/min for economical complete processing of medium formats.
- Performance package: 180 kN punching force, 800 strokes/min for maximum productivity and high part density.
- Descending die and selectable brush or ball tables for damage‑free handling of delicate parts.
- Integrated small‑part ejection and automated part removal flap for reliable unloading and sorting.
Material range & applications- TruFiber laser handles reflective and non‑ferrous materials (e.g., copper, brass) with stable process behavior.
- Combined punching and laser cutting enables production of laser‑cut contours together with punched features (extrusions, roller beading, stepping, marking).
- Slim laser head and extended forming options allow cutting close to formed sections and producing complex contours in one setup.
Equipment & functions- Integrated flattening function to reduce surface irregularities during punching.
- Universal cutting unit for improved process reliability and robustness.
- Smart punch monitoring detects broken punches before tool change to minimise rejects.
- Touchpoint HMI for intuitive operation and TruTops Boost for integrated programming and nesting.
Tools & tool handling- MultiTool adapter for multiple inserts to increase productivity in small punching operations.
- MultiBend for 90° bends (various lengths up to approx. 2.2 in) to avoid separate bending steps.
- Ejector tool for sorting to reliably remove and separate small laser‑cut parts.
- Tool automation: ToolMaster Linear for fast, reproducible tool changes.
Automation options- SortMaster Compact: automatic removal and sorting with suction cups for small or complex parts; minimal footprint.
- SheetMaster (new generation): automated loading, unloading, separation, palletising and sorting of finished parts.
- GripMaster (new generation): automated scrap skeleton handling with scrap deposition on a scissor table.
- Conveyor and chip extraction options for automated transport of finished parts and punching slugs.
Technical specifications- Punching drive concept: fully electric (DeltaDrive hybrid axis concept).
- Laser type: TruFiber solid‑state laser (resistant to back‑reflections; suitable for highly reflective materials).
- Punching force (standard): 165 kN; stroke rate: 650 strokes/min.
- Punching force (performance package): 180 kN; stroke rate: 800 strokes/min.
- Energy reduction: DeltaDrive + TruFiber reduce system power input by around 65% compared to conventional punch‑laser systems (manufacturer data).
- Automatic sorting: finished parts up to 7 x 7 in can be sorted automatically (intermediate buffer and boxes under machine).
- Large part removal flap: automated unloading of parts up to 16 x 24 in.
- Small part handling: dedicated small‑part ejection for cost‑effective production and collection of small parts.
- Quality features: descending die, brush or ball tables for scratch‑free handling and paint‑ready surfaces.
