Fiber Laser Cutting That Eliminates Bottlenecks

TRUMPF fiber laser cutting systems process mild steel from 0.5mm to 30mm, stainless steel up to 25mm, and aluminum up to 25mm with consistent edge quality that eliminates post-processing in the majority of applications. Our BrightLine fiber technology enables burr-free cutting even on thick stainless steel, a capability that previously required secondary deburring operations.

  • Cutting speeds up to 140m/min on thin gauge materials
  • BrightLine fiber for burr-free stainless steel cuts up to 25mm
  • Automated nozzle changer reduces setup time by up to 70%
  • Active Speed Control adjusts parameters in real-time during piercing

Welding Precision That Replaces Mechanical Fastening

TRUMPF laser welding systems deliver weld seam widths from 0.1mm to 5mm with heat-affected zones up to 10x smaller than conventional MIG/TIG processes. For automotive body-in-white applications, our systems achieve cycle times under 2 seconds per joint while maintaining tensile strength exceeding 95% of base material specification.

  • Weld depth up to 12mm in single pass with disk laser source
  • Spot welding cycle times below 10ms for battery tab connections
  • Scanner welding at 200+ joints per second for electronics
  • Seam tracking with real-time quality monitoring

Permanent Traceability Without Consumables

TRUMPF marking lasers produce machine-readable codes, serial numbers, and graphics on metals, plastics, and ceramics without inks, labels, or contact. Marking speeds reach 8m/s with resolution down to 10 micrometers, enabling UDI compliance for medical devices and full supply chain traceability for automotive components.

  • Marking field sizes from 60mm x 60mm to 300mm x 300mm
  • Color marking on stainless steel through oxide layer control
  • FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant software options
  • Deep engraving up to 1mm for harsh environment durability

Metal 3D Printing for Production-Grade Components

TRUMPF additive manufacturing systems use Laser Metal Fusion (LMF) and Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) to produce fully dense metal parts from titanium, Inconel, stainless steel, and aluminum alloys. Build rates reach 20 cm3/h with layer thicknesses from 20 to 150 micrometers, enabling geometries that are physically impossible with subtractive manufacturing.

  • Multi-laser systems with up to 4 x 500W fiber lasers
  • Build volume up to 400mm x 400mm x 400mm
  • Relative density exceeding 99.9% across certified materials
  • Integrated quality monitoring with melt pool analysis

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

TRUMPF fiber laser cutting systems process a wide range of metals: mild steel up to 30mm, stainless steel up to 25mm, aluminum up to 25mm, copper up to 8mm, and brass up to 8mm. Maximum thickness depends on the laser power configuration. Our 24kW TruDisk systems handle the thickest materials, while 3-6kW systems are optimized for thin-to-medium gauge processing at the highest speeds. Contact our applications team for material-specific cutting parameter charts.

BrightLine fiber is a TRUMPF-proprietary beam shaping technology that modifies the laser beam profile during cutting. Standard fiber lasers produce a Gaussian beam that can leave burrs and rough edges on thick stainless steel and aluminum. BrightLine fiber creates an annular beam shape that produces smoother cut edges and minimal burr formation, particularly on stainless steel above 4mm. In practice, this eliminates the need for secondary deburring on the majority of thick stainless steel parts, saving significant labor and processing time.

ROI varies significantly based on your current equipment, production volume, material mix, and labor costs. Most customers replacing older CO2 laser systems with TRUMPF fiber lasers report payback periods between 18 and 36 months. The primary savings come from three areas: reduced operating costs (fiber lasers consume 50-70% less electricity than CO2 systems), higher throughput (2-5x faster cutting on thin materials), and reduced scrap rates. Our sales engineers provide detailed ROI calculations based on your specific production data during the quotation process.

Yes, TRUMPF Financial Services offers several financing structures including direct purchase, operating lease, finance lease, and usage-based models. Our Pay-Per-Part program allows you to pay based on actual laser operating hours rather than a fixed capital expenditure. This is particularly useful for contract manufacturers with variable workloads. Terms and availability vary by region. Contact your local TRUMPF representative for specific financing options available in your market.

Every TRUMPF system includes operator training at installation, typically 3-5 days depending on the system complexity. Beyond initial training, we offer advanced programming courses, maintenance certification programs, and application-specific workshops at our 32 global training centers. Our service network includes 340+ field engineers across 78 countries, with remote diagnostics capability built into every modern TruLaser system. Service response targets are 24 hours for critical issues in covered regions, with many issues resolved remotely within hours.
