Trumpf TruLaser 1040 Fiber vs Trumpf TruLaser 1060 Fiber
Trumpf vs Trumpf · CNC Laser Cutting
Summary
The Trumpf TruLaser 1040 Fiber and the Trumpf TruLaser 1060 Fiber are two bed sizes of one fiber laser series. The headline difference is the working area: 4,000 x 2,000 mm (157 x 78.7 in) of X and Y travel on the TruLaser 1040 Fiber against 6,000 x 2,500 mm (236 x 98.4 in) on the TruLaser 1060 Fiber.
Cutting capacity is shared. Both list the same maximum thickness with each source, from 22 mm (0.87 in) of mild steel with the TruFiber 4000 up to 30 mm (1.18 in) with the TruFiber 9001 or 12001, and 40 mm (1.57 in) of stainless steel. The TruLaser 1060 Fiber carries 2,900 kg (6,393 lb) per sheet against 2,000 kg (4,409 lb). The TruLaser 1040 Fiber is the smaller installation: 12,000 kg (26,455 lb) on 11,150 × 6,650 mm of floor against 16,500 kg (36,376 lb) on 15,500 × 7,150 mm.

Advantages
Trumpf TruLaser 1040 Fiber
- Smaller footprint: 11,150 × 6,650 × 2,200 mm (439 × 262 × 86.6 in) against 15,500 × 7,150 × 2,200 mm
- Lighter machine at 12,000 kg (26,455 lb) against 16,500 kg (36,376 lb)
Trumpf TruLaser 1060 Fiber
- 6,000 mm (236 in) of X travel against 4,000 mm (157 in)
- 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of Y travel against 2,000 mm (78.7 in)
- 2,900 kg (6,393 lb) sheet load against 2,000 kg (4,409 lb)
Verdict
Pick the bed to match the stock. Shops cutting sheet within 4,000 x 2,000 mm get the same cutting thickness from the Trumpf TruLaser 1040 Fiber in a machine that weighs 12,000 kg (26,455 lb) and takes less floor. Shops that cut long parts in one piece or buy wide plate need the Trumpf TruLaser 1060 Fiber, with 6,000 mm (236 in) of X travel, 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of Y travel and a 2,900 kg (6,393 lb) load. The choice of laser source does not separate them.
