The TruLaser Series 3000 Bevel Cut Edition prepares welding edges by automatically generating beveled cut edges on the contours of parts while cutting.
The TruLaser Series 3000 Bevel Cut Edition produces complex bevel geometries and countersinks.
TRUMPF Inc. offers the TruLaser Series 3000 Bevel Cut Edition that can produce beveled cutting edges (chamfers) on the top and bottom edge of the component while cutting. This helps ensure optimum preparation of the welding edges and reduces downstream processes. The machine can apply chamfers to sheets of up to 1" thick and handle complex bevel geometries. The TruLaser Series 3000 Bevel Cut Edition solution is particularly suitable for mild and stainless steel.
"With the TruLaser Series 3000 Bevel Cut Edition, manufacturers have a particularly productive universal machine with which they can integrate downstream process steps into laser machining," said Grant Fergusson, TRUMPF Inc. TruLaser 2D Laser Cutting Product Manager. "Thanks to the unique design of the cutting unit, the machine can create chamfers of up to 50°, depending on the sheet thickness, which is more than the 45° that were previously standard in the industry."
For this solution, TRUMPF has equipped the cutting unit of the TruLaser Series 3000 Bevel Cut Edition with two additional rotary axes, ultra-compact drive motors and a nozzle specifically developed for bevel cutting. Due to the special design, the cutting head can be tilted in all directions up to an angle of 50°. 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 also comes equipped with TRUMPF collision protection to further provide process reliability and prevent structural damage by avoiding collisions with tipped parts.
Due to the cutting unit's high flexibility, users can create bevels in different geometries. In addition to the classic V and Y edges, edge geometries in which both sides of the part edge are provided with bevel cuts, also known as double V (DV) edges or X prep and double Y (DY) edges or K prep, are possible. This edge-geometry flexibility is advantageous when complex parts or groups of parts must be welded.
To meet the high demands required to prepare complex bevel cuts, TRUMPF has developed a new 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 bevel cut nozzles. This does not reduce the high productivity of the TruLaser Series 3000.
For 2D processing of components without bevels, the machine is equipped with all of TRUMPF's laser cutting features, 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.
