DMG Mori LASERTEC 100 PowerDrill vs Trumpf TruLaser 1030 Fiber
DMG Mori vs Trumpf · CNC Laser Cutting
Summary
The DMG Mori LASERTEC 100 PowerDrill and the Trumpf TruLaser 1030 Fiber are both laser machines, but they serve different jobs. The DMG Mori LASERTEC 100 PowerDrill drills cooling air holes in large aerospace and industrial gas turbine components; the Trumpf TruLaser 1030 Fiber cuts flat sheet metal. The makers publish few comparable figures for this pair, so only X and Y travel can be set side by side.
The Trumpf TruLaser 1030 Fiber has the larger working area, 3,000 mm (118 in) by 1,500 mm (59.1 in), sized for standard sheet. The DMG Mori LASERTEC 100 PowerDrill travels 1,600 mm (63 in) along X and 1,000 mm (39.4 in) along Y, and drills rotating components with Synchro-Drill.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | DMG Mori LASERTEC 100 PowerDrill | Trumpf TruLaser 1030 Fiber |
|---|---|---|
| X-Axis Travel | 1,600 mm (63 in) | 3,000 mm (118 in) ▲ |
| Y-Axis Travel | 1,000 mm (39.4 in) | 1,500 mm (59.1 in) ▲ |
Advantages
DMG Mori LASERTEC 100 PowerDrill
- Built for laser drilling of cooling air holes in large aerospace and gas turbine components
- Drills rotating components with Synchro-Drill and hole patterns with PatternDrilling
Trumpf TruLaser 1030 Fiber
- 3,000 mm (118 in) of X travel against 1,600 mm (63 in)
- 1,500 mm (59.1 in) of Y travel against 1,000 mm (39.4 in)
- Sized for standard sheet in thin and medium sheet metal work
Verdict
These are not alternatives. A shop cutting flat parts from sheet needs the Trumpf TruLaser 1030 Fiber, with 3,000 mm (118 in) by 1,500 mm (59.1 in) of travel for standard sheet. A maker of turbine and aerospace components that drills cooling air holes needs the DMG Mori LASERTEC 100 PowerDrill, whose 1,600 mm (63 in) by 1,000 mm (39.4 in) of travel serves large components. The job decides, not the travel figures.
