TRUMPF Inc.

This includes lean manufacturing and state-of­the-art production (including clean rooms for the manufacture of laser diodes, as well as for CO2 and ND: YAG laser resonators), research and development laboratories, a training cen­ter for technical seminars for customers, a ser­vice center equipped with remote telediagnos­tic capabilities, and a customer and technology center for consultations and demonstrations.

The company is committed to maintain­ing a leadership role in providing quality, state-of-the-art technology to customers. TRUMPF Inc. invests heavily in research and development. TRUMPF’s core business is machine tools for flexible sheet metal processing that include punching and forming, laser processing and bending. Standardized sys­tem components enable automated produc­tion solutions.

This wide spectrum of stationary machines is rounded off by portable power tools for TRUMPF power tools for cutting, fastening and beveling are made for use with a variety of metals. Industries that benefit from TRUMPF’s power tools include roofing and wall, container and steel construction, demolition and tank dis­assembly, car and railway construction, heat­ing and air conditioning, and plumbing and sheet metal processing—to name just a few.

Within its Power Tools Division, TRUMPF has introduced its popular, next generation slat cleaner, the TruTool TSC 100, which removes even stubborn, stainless steel slag. Capable of one-person operation, the TruTool TSC 100 slat cleaner can also remove mild steel and aluminum slag.

It can be used on laser flatbed machines with an output of up to 7 kilowatts, and it removes slag from the sides of the slats as well as in spaces between and right up to the pallet frame.

The modified design of the new tool is a major factor it its high quality cleaning results and efficiency. Powerful scrubbing and fin­ishing rollers were previously used to break up the slag. Now the slats are thoroughly scraped by two powerful, toothed cleaning rollers running in parallel. The TruTool TSC 100 is able to remove any material that the laser can cut—in only 30 minutes for a stan­dard 5 x 10 foot pallet.

Up until a few years ago, cleaning slats required hammers and chisels and took many hours to complete. Alternatively, machine operators immediately replaced heavily­slagged slats—and expensive undertaking that is now a thing of the past.
