Programming with TruTops

TRUMPF offers a start-to-finish concept for flexible fabrication. Machines and programming systems are from one single source.

All systems are technology-oriented programming systems with integrated know-how from the field of sheetmetal working. State-of-the-art technology not only for the machines but also for programming.

TruTops Laser
+ TruTops Laser
TruTops Laser: Programming system for laser cutting
  • Create or import drawings suitable for production with the laser
  • Generate process-reliable NC programs through contour recognition and geometry analysis
  • Excellent cost efficiency thanks to optimized sheet layout
  • Automatic processing: Corner processing with loops or fillets, recognize inside and outside contours, differentiate between open and closed contours, set common slitting cuts.
 
TruTops Punch
+ TruTops Punch
TruTops Punch: Programming system for punching and combination machining
  • Create or import drawings. Use of macros
  • Automatic punching: Single holes and complete contours
  • Automatic laser processing: Piercing points, clean cuts
  • Automation components: Eject parts through chutes, remove parts with the LiftMaster and define loading operations with visual support
  • Optimized sheet layout for punching and combination technology
 
TruTops Tube
+ TruTops Tube
TruTops Tube: Programming system for laser processing of tubes
  • Integrated drawing module with numerous "Standard cases" of tube machining which can be modified.
  • No design, but input of data for tube penetrations, topping and inserts
  • Automatic processing definition
  • 3D visualization for checking the processes
 
TruTops Bend
+ TruTops Bend
TruTops Bend: Programming system for bending
  • Minimize preparation and setup times at the machine
  • Automatic calculation of bend sequences and setup plan
  • 3D simulation of the entire bending process
  • Create setup proposals
  • Bending factors based on TRUMPF experience
  • Photo-realistic display of situation at the press brake
  • Automation module (optional) for controlling the TRUMPF BendMaster for automated sheet handling
  • The automation module is fully integrated in TruTops Bend: both the TruBend and the BendMaster can therefore be programmed from one application
 
TruTops Cell
+ TruTops Cell
TruTops Cell: Programming system for 3D laser processing
TruTops Cell is a technology-oriented programming system specially developed for TRUMPF 3D laser processing centers. The program is the connecting link between the design and production departments.

Importing 3D-CAD data
Some processing possibilities:

  • Check and process the imported CAD models
  • Simply position the workpiece in the work envelope or determine a new axis system through calibration
  • Generate and extend geometries at the model
  • Perform automatic circular interpolation (CIP) for the 3D cutting contour
  • Identify standard contours automatically and output them as machine macros
Output:
  • TruTops simulates the tool path with collision check. Possible collisions between laser head and workpiece can be manually corrected in advance
  • The generated NC code is displayed throughout the creation phase and all changes are immediately updated
