Trumpf TruMatic 7000

The Trumpf TruMatic 7000 is a punch-laser combination machine offered in two formats: a large one with a 3,050 x 1,550 mm (120 x 61 in) working area and a medium one with 2,500 x 1,550 mm (98 x 61 in). Maximum punching force is 220 kN, the laser is listed at 4 kW with the TruFlow 4000, and the punching head reaches 1,200 strokes/min at 1 mm engagement or 3,000 strokes/min when marking.

Punching alone and laser cutting alone each cover the full area of the chosen format. Combined operation does not: its working area is 2,500 x 1,550 mm (98 x 61 in). On the large format that leaves part of the 3,050 mm X axis outside the zone where both processes can be used on the same sheet position, which is worth knowing before nesting long parts that need a punched feature and a laser-cut edge.

Sheet thickness goes to 8 mm (0.31 in) in mild and stainless steel and 6 mm (0.24 in) in aluminum, the material rows being given with the TruFlow 4000. Small punched parts up to 80 mm x 50 mm leave through the fixed chute.

The formats differ in more than length. The large format has 21 tool stations with 4 clamps and carries workpieces up to 280 kg (617 lb); the medium format has 22 stations with 3 clamps and a 200 kg limit. Tool change time is 0.3 s, a figure Trumpf gives for the MultiTool.

Floor space is 10,190 x 8,898 x 2,328 mm (401 x 350 x 92 in) for the large format and 10,190 x 8,450 x 2,328 mm (401 x 333 x 92 in) for the medium, so the shorter working area changes only one of the three dimensions. Average power consumption is 28.5 kW in production and 1.5 kW at idle with auto shutdown active.
