TRUMPF has introduced a new laser marking station, the TruMark 5000 NEW that features longer traverse paths and higher travel speeds in linear axes.

Improvements on the system include a more powerful suction unit that enables marking processes with strong materials removal.

The laser marking station has a Z-axis travel path that is 200 mm longer than the TruMark 5000. Now 19.6 in. (500 mm) long, the traverse path offers even greater flexibility in marking larger components in a variety of sizes, according to the company.

The laser system can be equipped with two linear axes (length 11.8 in./300 mm) as well as a rotating axis. This allows the TruMark Station 5000 to adapt to each marking task. The linear axes have a new control concept with an integrated motor driver that makes retrofitting the workstation, if that’s necessary, easy.

The travel speeds of the X and Y axes are three times faster, which leads to less time between two marking cycles when the workstation is loaded with several workpieces at once. The axes can be correctly positioned manually with the push of a button.

TRUMPF has also enhanced the suction unit. During the process of marking many parts, emissions are produced during material removal. The stronger suction unit takes into account the increased laser outputs of the marking lasers in the TruMark Series 3000, 5000 and 6000, all of which can be integrated into the workstation.

Fast materials processing normally leads to higher particle emissions, but the new workstation compensates for these emissions.

The system’s compact design also gives more flexibility in selecing the
installation location. All of the sensors from the laser and workstation can
be maintained easily and supported worldwide using tele-diagnostics.
