How much does the TRUMPF TruLaser 5060 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 5060 fiber is the long-bed machine of its series, with 6,000 mm (236 in) of X travel and 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of Y. That is the 6 x 2 m sheet Trumpf names for the series. It positions at up to 280 m/min and takes a TruFiber laser of 6, 9, 12 or 24 kW.
Note the width before anything else. The TruLaser 1060 and the TruLaser 3060 have the same X travel with 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of Y, so a shop that buys 2,500 mm wide plate cannot move that stock onto the TruLaser 5060. What this machine offers in exchange is speed between cuts: 280 m/min, against 170 m/min on the TruLaser 3060 and 140 m/min on the TruLaser 1060. Across a bed 6,000 mm long, where the head can travel a long way from one part to the next, that difference is felt more than on a short bed.
For plate, stainless is the generous row of the thickness table: 40 mm (1.57 in) with any laser from the TruFiber 9001 up, and 25 mm (0.98 in) with the 6001. Mild steel and aluminum need the TruFiber 24001 to reach 40 mm (1.57 in); the 9001 and 12001 stop at 30 mm (1.18 in) and the 6001 at 25 mm (0.98 in). Copper is listed to 16 mm (0.63 in) and brass to 12.7 mm (0.50 in) from the 9001 up, both 10 mm (0.39 in) with the 6001. For the 24 kW laser Trumpf claims cutting up to three times faster, helped by Active Speed Control, without stating the reference.
The machine weighs 18,500 kg (40,785 lb) and occupies 15,500 × 6,373 × 2,200 mm (610 × 251 × 86.6 in). The 6,373 mm width is the figure also listed for the TruLaser 5040, which is 11,200 mm long, so the longer bed adds length to the installation and no width.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Travel is 6,000 mm (236 in) in X and 2,000 mm (78.7 in) in Y, which matches the 6 x 2 m sheet Trumpf mentions for the series. Plate that is 2,500 mm wide does not fit; the TruLaser 3060 and the TruLaser 1060 have 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of Y travel for that.
02
The TruLaser 5060 positions at 280 m/min, has 2,000 mm (78.7 in) of Y and weighs 18,500 kg (40,785 lb). The TruLaser 3060 positions at 170 m/min, has 2,500 mm (98.4 in) of Y and weighs 19,800 kg (43,651 lb). The TruLaser 3060 is also listed with the smaller TruFiber 4000, while the TruLaser 5060 starts at the TruFiber 6001.
03
With the TruFiber 24001 the limits are 40 mm (1.57 in) in mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum, 16 mm (0.63 in) in copper and 12.7 mm (0.50 in) in brass. Compared with the TruFiber 12001 that is a gain only in mild steel and aluminum, which are listed at 30 mm (1.18 in) with the smaller laser.
04
The footprint is 15,500 × 6,373 mm (610 × 251 in), the height 2,200 mm (86.6 in) and the weight 18,500 kg (40,785 lb). Handling 6,000 mm sheet to and from the bed needs its own space next to the machine, which is not part of those figures.
05
Trumpf names Active Speed Control together with the 24 kW TruFiber 24001 and says it makes that laser particularly reliable, with fewer rejects. The table gives no further detail on how it works or whether it is available with the smaller lasers, so ask Trumpf which laser options include it.
