Overview

The Trumpf TruMatic 3000 is a combination punch-laser machine that integrates CNC punching, laser cutting, forming, and tapping into a single platform. It's built on the same foundation as the TruPunch 3000 but adds an integrated fiber laser cutting head, enabling complex contour cuts that would be impossible or impractical with punching alone. The result is complete sheet metal part production on one machine -- every hole, form, contour, and thread in a single setup.

Punching force is available in two configurations: 165 kN standard or 180 kN with the Delta Drive performance package. Standard stroke rate is 650 per minute, rising to 800 with the Delta Drive. The integrated laser handles contour cutting, complex shapes, and fine detail that punch tools can't economically produce. Part sorting handles pieces up to 180 x 180 mm (7 x 7 in) automatically, with the removal flap accommodating parts up to 400 x 600 mm (16 x 24 in).

The combination concept is powerful because it plays to each technology's strengths. Punching is faster for repetitive holes, louvers, and standard forms. Laser cutting is better for contours, complex shapes, and features that would require expensive special tools. Threading adds another operation that normally requires a separate machine. By combining all three, the TruMatic 3000 eliminates material handling between operations, reduces WIP, and shortens lead times.

The machine targets fabricators who produce complete parts -- enclosures, panels, brackets -- that require both punched features and laser-cut contours. A typical example is an electrical enclosure with rows of punched knockouts, formed louvers, a laser-cut cable entry contour, and tapped mounting holes. On separate machines, that's three setups and three material handling steps. On the TruMatic 3000, it's one.

Scratch-free processing capability carries over from the TruPunch 3000 platform. The machine handles pre-painted and film-coated sheets without surface damage, which is essential for enclosures and panels where the finished surface must remain pristine through processing.

New TruMatic 3000 machines start around $400,000-$550,000 depending on configuration. With Delta Drive performance package, extended tooling, and automation, pricing reaches $600,000-$800,000. The TruMatic 3000 competes with the Amada EML-AJ series and Prima Power Combi Genius in the combination punch-laser market.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Complete part production in a single setup -- punching, laser cutting, forming, and tapping eliminates multiple machine setups
Laser contour cutting complements punching for complex shapes that would require expensive special punch tools
Thread tapping capability removes the need for a separate tapping station in the production flow
Scratch-free processing handles pre-painted and film-coated sheets for finished-surface applications
Automatic part sorting up to 180 x 180 mm enables unattended production of small to medium parts
Built on the proven TruPunch 3000 platform -- same reliability and service network

Limitations

Higher cost than a standalone TruPunch 3000 or standalone laser -- the combination premium is significant
Neither the punching nor laser capability matches a dedicated machine -- 650 strokes/min is slower than TruPunch 5000, and laser power is lower than TruLaser series
6.4 mm max sheet thickness limits heavy-gauge applications -- same as the TruPunch 3000
More complex machine means more potential failure points -- maintaining both punching and laser subsystems adds service cost
Only justified if your parts regularly require both punched and laser-cut features -- pure punching or pure cutting work is more efficient on dedicated machines

Best For

Electrical enclosure and cabinet manufacturers producing complete parts with punched holes, laser contours, and tapped threads HVAC equipment fabricators making panels with combination features (knockouts, louvers, complex contour cutouts) Job shops producing diverse parts that vary between punching-heavy and cutting-heavy -- one machine covers both Fabricators looking to consolidate operations and reduce WIP by eliminating material handling between punch and laser stations Operations producing pre-finished (painted, film-coated) parts that need scratch-free processing with both technologies Small to mid-size shops that can't justify both a separate punch press and laser cutter

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a Trumpf TruMatic 3000 cost?

New machines start around $400,000-$550,000. With Delta Drive, automation, and extended tooling, pricing reaches $600,000-$800,000. The combination premium over a standalone TruPunch 3000 is roughly $100,000-$200,000 for the integrated laser and tapping capability.

02 How does the TruMatic 3000 compare to a separate punch press and laser cutter?

The TruMatic 3000 eliminates material handling between machines, reduces WIP, and produces complete parts in one setup. However, a dedicated TruPunch and dedicated TruLaser each outperform the combination machine in their respective operations. If you're running high volumes of pure punching or pure cutting, separate machines offer higher throughput. If most parts need both operations, the TruMatic saves time and floor space.

03 What is the Delta Drive performance package?

Delta Drive upgrades punching force from 165 to 180 kN and stroke rate from 650 to 800 per minute. It's a 23% throughput increase on punching-heavy parts. The package is worth it for operations where punching is the dominant process; for cutting-heavy work, the laser speed is more important than punching stroke rate.

04 Can the TruMatic 3000 tap threads?

Yes. The machine includes an integrated tapping head that cuts threads directly in the sheet during processing. This eliminates the need for a separate tapping operation after punching. Standard M3-M8 threads are supported, covering the vast majority of sheet metal hardware requirements.

05 What laser power does the TruMatic 3000 use?

Trumpf doesn't publicly specify the exact laser power for the TruMatic 3000's integrated laser, as it's optimized for the machine's specific contour cutting role rather than sold as a standalone laser specification. The fiber laser handles contour cutting, fine detail work, and shapes that punching can't produce, up to the machine's 6.4 mm maximum sheet thickness.

06 Is scratch-free processing available on the TruMatic 3000?

Yes. The same scratch-free processing technology from the TruPunch 3000 carries over. The machine uses brush tables and ball transfer units to support pre-painted, brushed, and film-coated sheets without marring surfaces during both punching and laser cutting operations.
