FARMINGTON, Conn., July 14, 2006 – At FABTECH 2006, TRUMPF will introduce innovative changes to its line of flatsheet laser cutting machines with integrated automation. Among the most noticeable of these enhancements is a new, compact enclosure over the laser head that is seventy-five percent smaller than a conventional enclosure.
“Compact features have always been an advantage of this machine,” said James Rogowski, product manager for laser cutting machines and automation at TRUMPF Inc. “This new cover is just one-fourth its original size, which offers advantages for fabricators.”
Key benefits of the new enclosure include faster installation and easier accessibility and function. Since the enclosure can be set up promptly, installation is greatly expedited. The enclosure’s new design also features a small door which can be opened to change the cutting head quickly and easily. The new design is ergonomic and safe.
The machine will now come with an easy-to-use freestanding control, similar to the one sold with TRUMPF’s popular punching machines.
“We hope these enhancements will augment our customers’ abilities to remain competitive in this economy,” says Rogowski. “To meet a wider variety of customer requirements, we will continue to improve and expand our line of laser cutting machines with integrated automation. New working range options will be available in the near future.”
