The annual Trumpf UK Open House (
www.uk.trumpf.com) — held in June — attracted more than 200 people and secured more than £2 million worth of orders.
The company says the star of this year’s event was the TruMatic 1000 Fiber entry-level combination machine. Occupying a particularly compact footprint, this machine is equipped with features that allow it to punch holes, bend flanges
and form threads. The ‘high end’ of Trumpf’s laser-cutting capability was also demonstrated.
Included was the TruLaser 3030 Fiber, which features a 6kW solid-state laser and was cutting 1mm-thick mild steel at very high speeds. Meanwhile, the TruLaser 5030 Fiber with 8kW resonator was being put through its paces and was shown
cutting stainless steel up to 40mm thick.
Also being demonstrated under power at the Open House were a TruPunch 3000 punching machine and a TruBend 5130 press brake. Visitors also enjoyed a seminar programme that focused on efficient and smart production.
