Trumpf TruLaser 5030

The Trumpf TruLaser 5030 is a 3000 x 1500 mm (118 x 59 in) flatbed laser cutting machine whose listed figures centre on speed and laser power: a simultaneous axis speed of 280 m/min (918 ft/min) and a solid-state laser in four power options, 6 kW / 9 kW / 12 kW / 24 kW. Z-axis stroke is 115 mm (4.5 in).

Capacity climbs with power, and the thick-sheet package extends it further. In mild steel the listed figures are 25 mm (1.0 in) at 6 kW, 30 mm (1.2 in) at 12 kW and 40 mm (1.6 in) at 24 kW, or 32 mm, 50 mm and 60 mm with the thick-sheet package. Stainless steel already reaches 40 mm (1.6 in) at 12 kW, so the 24 kW source adds stainless thickness only through the package, where the figure goes from 50 mm to 60 mm. Copper is listed to 16 mm (0.63 in) and brass to 12.7 mm (0.5 in) at 12 kW. No thickness is given for the 9 kW option.

Positioning accuracy is listed at ±0.05 mm (±0.002 in) and repeatability at ±0.03 mm (±0.001 in). The workpiece limit is 1,100 kg (2,425 lb), or 1,800 kg (3,968 lb) with the heavy-duty pallet changer. Work out plate weight before planning full-size sheets at the thick end of the range, because the weight rating can be reached before the laser's thickness limit is.

The machine is listed at 9,229 mm (363 in) long, 6,145 mm (242 in) wide and 2,200 mm (87 in) high, and weighs 11,700 kg (25,794 lb). Average power consumption is 11 kW with the 6 kW laser, 16 kW with the 12 kW laser and 27 kW with the 24 kW laser. For a machine that is already built, confirm the laser power and whether the thick-sheet package and heavy-duty pallet changer are fitted, since most of the figures above depend on them.
