Users can easily integrate TruMark 7050 into their production. The laser is suitable for many applications, from the automotive industry to large bakeries.
The high-tech company supplies the TruMark 7050 as a ready-to-use solution. A scanner and software are already integrated. TRUMPF has also already ensured a very high level of laser safety. At the Photonics West trade show in San Francisco, TRUMPF displayed the TruMark 7050 laser system, a remarkably versatile tool. Holger Breitenborn, Product Manager responsible for marking, said, “This laser system is more than just a marking laser. It is a multifunctional tool with high performance. Users save money with this premium system because they don’t have to buy different lasers for different applications,” Systems at TRUMPF. After putting the laser into operation, the user can operate it in just a few steps and start working immediately, says Breitenborn.

Applications in all industries The laser is suitable for several highly productive applications in various industries with very short process cycle times. Users can join different types of metals with the TruMark 7050 using spot welding, for example, copper with aluminium or brass. “This capability is particularly in demand for e-mobility applications,” says Breitenborn. Companies can easily integrate the TruMark 7050 marking and material processing laser into their flow production. The automotive industry also uses the laser for deep-engraving vehicle identification numbers into the body of cars. “Here, short process times are required, which the TruMark 7050, with its high power and fast switching cycles, makes possible.
This laser with 200 watts of average power is virtually unrivalled in its performance class,” says Breitenborn. But the TruMark 7050 is also suitable for cleaning metallic surfaces of various materials, such as oil, rust, or even organic residues. Large bakeries, for example, use the laser to remove baked-on contaminants from baking trays. Users in many other industries use the TruMark 7050 to roughen surfaces. The laser creates regularly arranged geometries on the metal. Individual components of such a structure are often only a few micrometres in size. Such laser structuring is suitable, for example, for preparing adhesive joints. The adhesive adheres better to the metal after roughening.
