TruLaser 5030

• Cut mild steel, aluminium and stainless steel up to 25mm thick
• Suitable for cutting non-ferrous metals such as copper and brass up to 10mm
• Execute even finer contours and prevent slag from forming when the laser beam pierces the sheet
• Save time with easier parts removal and extraction from the scrap skeleton

TruBend 3100

Dynamic Fabrication is pleased to announce the addition of the TRUMPF TruBend Series 3100 press brake to our already impressive array of equipment.

The 3100 TruBend back gauges can move across the entire bending length removing any restrictions. Automatic crowning ensures consistent angles. In addition, high axis speeds make this the fastest in its class.

Advantages and applications:

In competition with the alternative slitting processes like plasma cutting, punching (blanking) and nibbling or wire erosion, laser cutting has the following advantages:

• Processing the work piece is possible without contact or force.
• As opposed to punching (blanking) and nibbling, almost every contour shape can be made, without requiring a single tool change.
• With the laser beam, both large cuts in any shape can be cut as well as small, filigree and complicated contours. Geometric shapes can be machined quickly with only a few piercing.
• Separation is precise. The extremely narrow kerf remains virtually constant. Maintaining tolerances as low as 0.05 mm is also possible in series production.
• The cutting speed is high, producing a significant acceleration of the production process in comparison to, for example, wire erosion.
• Due to high energy density, the heat-affected zone remains very small and confined. Hardness penetration depths from 0.1 to 0.2 mm are possible, an oxide film forms when cutting with oxygen. The small heat-affected zone, in turn, means that material distortion is minimal.
• The roughness of the cutting surfaces is kept to a minimum: smaller then 100 um. There is no need to refinish the work piece.
• The most commonly used steels can be cut without any burr formation, eliminating the need for subsequent burr removal.
• Due to rapid development of both laser as well as cutting technology, laser cutting has become a true commercial alternative to other techniques. If you also accept the argument of almost limitless flexibility in application, then it can be predicted, that laser cutting will gain more and more ground on the conventional techniques.
