Trumpf TruLaser 1030 Fiber vs Trumpf TruLaser 1040 Fiber
Trumpf vs Trumpf · CNC Laser Cutting
Summary
The Trumpf TruLaser 1030 Fiber and the Trumpf TruLaser 1040 Fiber share the same laser sources and cutting thicknesses and differ in bed size. The Trumpf TruLaser 1030 Fiber works an area of 3,000 mm (118 in) by 1,500 mm (59.1 in); the Trumpf TruLaser 1040 Fiber works 4,000 mm (157 in) by 2,000 mm (78.7 in).
Cutting capacity is identical and depends on the source: with TruFiber 4000 / 6001 / 9001 / 12001, mild steel up to 22 / 25 / 30 / 30 mm and stainless up to 20 / 25 / 40 / 40 mm. The larger machine carries more than twice the sheet weight, 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) against 900 kg (1,984 lb). The smaller one needs less room, 9,333 × 5,990 × 2,200 mm against 11,150 × 6,650 × 2,200 mm, and weighs 9,400 kg (20,723 lb) against 12,000 kg (26,455 lb).

Verdict
Choose by sheet size, since cutting capacity is the same with each TruFiber source. The Trumpf TruLaser 1030 Fiber fits shops that buy standard 3,000 mm (118 in) by 1,500 mm (59.1 in) sheet and want the smaller, 9,400 kg (20,723 lb) machine. The Trumpf TruLaser 1040 Fiber fits shops cutting 4,000 mm (157 in) by 2,000 mm (78.7 in) sheet or heavy plate up to 2,000 kg (4,409 lb), and that have the floor space for it.
