Overview
The TRUMPF TruLaser 5060 fiber is TRUMPF's large-format high-performance 2D flatbed fiber laser, combining the dynamic excellence of the 5000 series with a 6000 x 2500 mm cutting area. This is the machine for industries that deal in truly large-scale sheet metal work: shipbuilding components, large industrial enclosures, heavy structural fabrication, railway equipment, and wind energy structures. Few fiber laser platforms match the combination of size, speed, and cut quality that the TruLaser 5060 fiber delivers.
At 6000 x 2500 mm, the TruLaser 5060 fiber can process the largest standard commercial sheet formats without repositioning. The machine's gantry design is engineered specifically for this scale, with optimized beam path length management to maintain consistent focus quality across the full diagonal of the cutting area. TRUMPF's TruDisk solid-state laser sources are available from 6 kW to 20 kW on the 5060 platform, enabling cutting of thick plate up to 40 mm in mild steel at production speeds.
The 5000 series dynamics are preserved at large format: Active Speed Control manages the cutting path to exploit laser power through complex contours, and TRUMPF's Collision Prevention automatically detects and routes around tipped parts during skeleton cutting. BrightLine fiber beam shaping is available for the 5060, allowing thick stainless cutting with edge quality that would otherwise require a CO2 source. The TruControl interface and TruTops Boost software manage nesting and production planning at the 6000 x 2500 mm scale.
The TruLaser 5060 fiber is a capital-intensive investment typically priced above $1,200,000 for base configurations, with high-power and automation variants exceeding $2,000,000. It competes primarily with Bystronic's ByStar Fiber 6225 and Messer Cutting Systems' large-format platforms in the heavy industrial laser segment.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 6000 x 2500 mm cutting area processes the largest commercial sheet formats without repositioning, enabling true large-panel production
- Up to 20 kW TruDisk power cuts 40 mm mild steel at production speeds, overlapping with plasma cutting applications at superior edge quality
- BrightLine fiber option delivers CO2-class stainless steel edge quality at large format, eliminating the need for a dedicated CO2 large-format machine
- Automated collision prevention detects tipped skeleton parts mid-program, reducing scrap and unplanned downtime on long production runs
Limitations
- Very high capital cost — $1.2M to over $2M — requires exceptional utilization and large job volumes to achieve acceptable ROI
- Massive machine footprint requires purpose-built or heavily modified facility with appropriate crane access for sheet loading
- Operator and maintenance requirements are substantially higher than for standard 3015 format machines

Frequently Asked Questions
01
With 20 kW laser power, the TruLaser 5060 fiber cuts mild steel up to 40 mm, stainless steel up to 50 mm with nitrogen, and aluminum up to 30 mm. Lower power configurations have proportionally reduced thickness capability.
02
The 5060 has a 6000 x 2500 mm cutting area versus 3000 x 1500 mm for the 5030. Both share the same 5000-series dynamics and TruDisk laser source. The 5060 supports higher maximum laser power (20 kW vs 12 kW) and is priced significantly higher. Choose the 5060 only if you routinely cut sheets larger than 3000 x 1500 mm.
03
Shipbuilding, offshore structures, wind energy, railway vehicles, agricultural machinery, heavy construction equipment, and large industrial enclosure fabricators. Any industry regularly processing large plate formats benefits from the 5060's cutting area.
04
The machine weighs approximately 25,000 kg and requires a reinforced floor with appropriate load capacity. Ceiling height must accommodate sheet loading (typically crane access). Footprint with safe clearance exceeds 200 square meters. A dedicated electrical supply of 100+ kVA and appropriate compressed gas infrastructure are required.
05
Yes, but large-format automation is more complex. TRUMPF offers automation solutions including gantry-type sheet loaders and custom material handling integration. For very large sheets, shops typically use overhead cranes with magnetic lifters integrated into the machine's control system.
