INTECH Review
Digital ambition everywhere

In April, several thousand customers and visitors from all around the world came to the TRUMPF in-house INTECH trade show. TruConnect, the comprehensive, multifaceted product range for Industry 4.0 in practice by TRUMPF, was in focus.
A drive for the future

The patented Delta Drive opens up whole new possibilities in punch and laser processing.
The right powder for any occasion

3D printing is booming – and it’s no longer just about making plastic action figures. Industry is also reaping serious benefits from the new technology, which is also commonly known as additive manufacturing. This alternative moniker often refers to a rather different process, however, which is based around two main ingredients: a laser, and a fine metal powder that has the peculiar effect of seeming to be neither liquid nor solid!
Panel bending: now fully automatic processing with top part flexibility

How laser welding helps to win new contracts and achieves time and part costs savings

Thomas Rupp, Head of Sheet Metal Laser Welding at TRUMPF, explains, why laser welding brings enormous time and part costs savings compared to conventional welding processes and how to win new contracts with this technology.
The Dream Machine

The new TruLaser Center 7030 is a revolution in 2D laser cutting. The high-precision, fully automatic machine that takes care of production largely autonomously promises unmatched efficiency and process reliability in the manufacture of laser-cut parts.
TRUMPF becomes one-stop supplier for industrial 3D printing of metal parts

TRUMPF will be showcasing new 3D printers and one-stop solutions for a comprehensive system of industrial manufacturing using additive technologies at the formnext trade fair in Frankfurt, November 15-18, 2016.

Industry 4.0: What does that have to do with me?

"By optimizing indirect processes before, during and after production you can continue to work profitably, even as batch sizes are shrinking and variations for specific parts are increasing", says Reinhold Groß, Managing Director Sales & Services,TRUMPF Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH + Co. KG.
“We make Industry 4.0 easier to grasp”

Since July 2015 TRUMPF is embarking on a five-year strategic joint venture with the Stuttgart-based Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation IPA. The aim of this long-term cooperation is to integrate current research findings from Industrie 4.0 into sheet metal processing. In our interview Ulrich Schneider from Fraunhofer IPA and Eberhard Wahl, who heads up product management for flexible sheet metal processing at TRUMPF, explain how they try to make Industry 4.0 easier to grasp by building up a sheet metal processing simulation.
Alarm warning feature added to slat cleaners

Since January 2016, the slat cleaner TruTool TSC 100 is now equipped with the new seal along with an alarm function. The intelligent monitoring system makes the TruTool TSC 100 slat cleaner even more attractive.
Wireless cutting of thin sheets

3D printing: Printing metal parts quick and adaptable

The principle of additive manufacturing is more than enticing. Laser and metallic powder build any desired component, based on data supplied directly by a CAD program. TRUMPF is the world’s only manufacturer to have all the pertinent laser technologies for industrial 3D printing in its program.
Get Connected

Declining lot sizes and rising numbers of variations in items are constantly adding complexity to the manufacturing processes in the sheet metal processing industry. TruConnect by TRUMPF helps to achieve individual optimization of business processes as a whole and to reduce the number of interface points. With individualized solutions, the company not only satisfies his customers' needs but also guides them along the road, step by step, to achieving a fully networked Smart Factory.
For the big jobs

The large-format machines of the new TruBend Series 8000 built by TRUMPF cover a broad spectrum of applications. Featuring lengths of up to eight meters and bending depths of up to 500 millimeters, these machines are predestined for machining larger parts.
Compact powerhouse

Intuitive controls, minimal space requirements, and quick and simple installation are the distinguishing features of the new TruLaser 2030 fiber. The machine is standard equipment with the TruDisk 3001 with three kilowatt laser power. Its strength is found in sheet metal thicknesses up to twelve millimeters, where it is highly productive.
