Overview

The Trumpf TruArc Weld 1000 is an arc welding cell built around a collaborating industrial robot arm with six axes, 1,300 mm of reach and a repeatability of +/-0.05 mm. It is a MIG/MAG system, not a laser: the welding source is listed as a Fronius TPS 320i C Pulse with a current range of 3 - 320 A, feeding an ultra-slim 350 A torch with external wire feed.

Parts are fixtured on a 3D table measuring 2,000 x 1,000 x 100 mm, drilled with D16 holes on a 50 x 50 mm grid. A hole grid like that takes modular clamps and stops, so a fixture can be rebuilt between jobs instead of being made for each part, which suits short runs. Set the table against the robot, though. Reach is 1,300 mm and the table is 2,000 mm long, so ask Trumpf where the arm is mounted and how much of the table it covers with the torch at the angles your seams need.

The torch is rated above the source, 350 A against a 320 A maximum, so the torch is not the limiting component at full output. At the other end the range starts at 3 A. No wire diameter, duty cycle or travel speed is listed, so questions about cycle time and heavy sections need a trial weld on your own parts.

Programming is done on a UR10e teach pendant with a Trumpf welding interface, and Smart Seam Tracking is listed. The complete system weighs 2,940 kg (6,482 lb) including the safety cabin, which measures 3605 mm x 2454 mm x 2818 mm. Check the 2818 mm height against doorways and crane hooks on the route to its position.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Collaborating robot arm with six axes, 1,300 mm reach and +/-0.05 mm repeatability
MIG/MAG welding source with a 3 - 320 A current range, paired with a 350 A torch so the torch is not the limit at full current
2,000 x 1,000 x 100 mm 3D table with D16 holes on a 50 x 50 mm grid for modular fixturing
Smart Seam Tracking is listed for the cell
Complete system including safety cabin weighs 2,940 kg (6,482 lb)

Limitations

The 1,300 mm reach is shorter than the 2,000 mm table length, so coverage of long parts depends on where the arm sits and on torch angle
Welding current stops at 320 A, which limits single-pass work on heavy sections
Only MIG/MAG is listed; the table gives no TIG or laser process
No payload, travel speed or duty cycle figures are listed, so cycle times cannot be estimated from the table

Best For

Short-run MIG/MAG welding of sheet metal assemblies Weldments that fit a 2,000 x 1,000 mm fixture table Jobs programmed at the cell with a teach pendant Seams within the 3 - 320 A range of the welding source

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What welding process does the TruArc Weld 1000 use?

MIG/MAG arc welding. The welding source is listed as a Fronius TPS 320i C Pulse with a current range of 3 - 320 A, and the torch is an ultra-slim 350 A type with external wire feed. No laser or TIG process appears in the table.

02 How large a part can the cell weld?

The 3D table measures 2,000 x 1,000 x 100 mm and the robot reaches 1,300 mm. Because the reach is shorter than the table is long, the weldable zone depends on where the arm is mounted and on the torch angle each seam needs. Ask Trumpf for the coverage of your largest part.

03 How is the TruArc Weld 1000 programmed?

Through a UR10e teach pendant with a Trumpf welding interface. The robot is a collaborating industrial arm with six axes, and Smart Seam Tracking is listed for the system. The table mentions no offline programming software.

04 How much space and floor load does it need?

The safety cabin measures 3605 mm x 2454 mm x 2818 mm and the system weighs 2,940 kg (6,482 lb) with the cabin included. Allow extra room around those dimensions for the operator and for loading parts onto the 2,000 x 1,000 mm table.

05 How repeatable is the robot?

Robot repeatability is listed at +/-0.05 mm. That is the arm returning to a taught point; weld position on the part also depends on fixturing and part tolerances, which is where the D16 hole grid and Smart Seam Tracking come in.
