How much does the Trumpf TruLaser 1040 Fiber cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc laser cutting machine in this class — not a quote from Trumpf. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Trumpf TruLaser 1040 Fiber is a 2D fiber laser cutting machine for 4,000 × 2,000 mm (157 × 78.7 in) sheet weighing up to 2,000 kg (4,409 lb), with a maximum positioning speed of 140 m/min. Four TruFiber lasers are listed for it: the 4000, 6001, 9001 and 12001.
Trumpf describes this machine by how easy it is to run more than by how fast it is. Operation is through the Touchpoint control, and cutting data is integrated so that an operator does not have to build parameters from nothing. The cutting area sits inside an enclosed protective housing with a beam guard. Trumpf adds that autonomous work is possible but lists no automation equipment, so loading and unloading units are something to specify and quote separately.
Running cost is easier to estimate here than on most pages, because average power consumption is stated: 10 kW with the four-kilowatt laser and 16 kW with the twelve-kilowatt laser. Those are average draw figures for energy budgeting per shift. They are not the connected load, which the electrician still needs from Trumpf.
On thickness, the TruFiber 4000 is listed to 22 mm (0.87 in) in mild steel, 20 mm (0.79 in) in stainless steel and aluminum, and 8 mm (0.31 in) in copper and brass. The 6001 brings steel, stainless and aluminum to 25 mm (0.98 in) and the two yellow metals to 10 mm (0.39 in). From the 9001 the figures stop rising: 30 mm (1.18 in) in mild steel and aluminum, 40 mm (1.57 in) in stainless and 12.7 mm (0.50 in) in copper and brass, identical for the 12001.
The machine weighs 12,000 kg (26,455 lb) and stands on 11,150 × 6,650 × 2,200 mm (439 × 262 × 86.6 in). The TruLaser 3040 covers the same sheet format at 170 m/min and weighs 14,300 kg (31,526 lb).

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Touchpoint control with integrated cutting data, which Trumpf presents as the quick way to get started
- Average power consumption is stated: 10 kW with the four-kilowatt laser, 16 kW with the twelve-kilowatt laser
- Takes 4,000 × 2,000 mm (157 × 78.7 in) sheet up to 2,000 kg (4,409 lb)
- Stainless steel up to 40 mm (1.57 in) with the TruFiber 9001 or 12001
- Enclosed protective housing with beam guard
Limitations
- Maximum positioning speed is 140 m/min; the TruLaser 3040 on the same sheet format reaches 170 m/min
- The TruFiber 12001 adds no thickness over the 9001 in any listed material
- With the TruFiber 4000, copper and brass stop at 8 mm (0.31 in) and stainless at 20 mm (0.79 in)
- Autonomous work is described as possible, but no loading or unloading equipment is listed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Trumpf states the average power consumption as 10 kW with the four-kilowatt laser and 16 kW with the twelve-kilowatt laser. These are averages in operation, useful for estimating energy use. The connected load and fuse rating for the installation are not in the table and have to be requested.
02
The TruFiber 4000, 6001, 9001 and 12001. In mild steel their listed limits are 22 mm (0.87 in), 25 mm (0.98 in), 30 mm (1.18 in) and 30 mm (1.18 in) in that order. In stainless steel they are 20 mm (0.79 in), 25 mm (0.98 in), 40 mm (1.57 in) and 40 mm (1.57 in).
03
Both metals share one set of figures: 8 mm (0.31 in) with the TruFiber 4000, 10 mm (0.39 in) with the 6001 and 12.7 mm (0.50 in) with the 9001 or 12001. Aluminum is listed at 20 mm (0.79 in), 25 mm (0.98 in) and then 30 mm (1.18 in) for the two largest lasers.
04
Trumpf's Touchpoint control. Trumpf describes operation as intuitive and says the integrated cutting data makes it easy to get started, meaning the parameters for common materials and thicknesses come with the machine. The table names no further software.
05
Both cut 4,000 × 2,000 mm (157 × 78.7 in) sheet. The TruLaser 1040 positions at 140 m/min and weighs 12,000 kg (26,455 lb). The TruLaser 3040 positions at 170 m/min, weighs 14,300 kg (31,526 lb) and is also listed with the TruFiber 24001, which the TruLaser 1040 is not.
