New Choices in Plastic and Metal Laser Welding



TRUMPF Inc. has introduced the next generation of TruDiode lasers complete with the latest developments in diode module technology. According to the company, the TruDiode 151 and TruDiode 301 are more powerful and efficient yet smaller than previous TruDiode lasers, and are ideal for plastic or thin gauge metal welding.

The two newest additions to TRUMPF's diode laser product line are the TruDiode 151, a 150 watt fiber-coupled laser, and the TruDiode 301 which supplies 300 watts of laser power to the workpiece. Wavelength range is between 920 - 970 nm with CW or modulated CW up to 3 kHz. Both lasers feature a 150 m core diameter TRUMPF LLK but are available with LLK core diameters of up to 600 m. The two output external beam switch with a single safety circuit is also an option. In addition, customers may choose between a 19" rack mount laser unit or 19" rack cabinet with central power distribution and self contained chiller.

TruDiode lasers are produced with the integrated TruControl 1000, which is designed to provide an extensive operator interface to control power levels, pulse shapes, PFO, the dual channel E-stop circuit and more. TruControl also supports standard interfaces such as parallel I/O, DeviceNet, Profitbus and others.
