It automatically adjusts machining parameters during rough and finishing cutting. In addition to live machining presentations, at the company’s stand you will be able to see details produced on the most popular models of GF machine tools. In addition, people interested in automation systems will have the opportunity to see the wide range of products from System 3R, as well as our offer of certified consumables and service packages.

New products from TRUMPF Polska

The ITM INDUSTRY EUROPE fair could not do without one of the undisputed leaders of the industrial sector – TRUMPF Polska. As the crew announces, they are looking forward to the next edition of this event – to hear about the latest trends in the metal industry, such as: solutions in the field of automation of production processes – a panacea for the shortage of qualified staff, as well as increasing the profitability of production, or the possibilities of using AI in the industry – technology that is taking the 21st century by storm. Digitisation in industry is gaining momentum, TRUMPF Polska notices this trend and follows it. This year, the exhibitor will present mainly laser machines during the fair: an extremely efficient TruLaser 5030 2D fibre cutter with a 24 kW resonator, TruMark Station 7000 3D laser marking station, TruLaser Station 7000 laser welding station, in which a green light beam laser is used for the first time. TLS is designed for high-quality copper welding with minimal spatter. At the TRUMPF Polska stand you will also be able to see the ergonomic TruBend 7050 brake press. There will also be solutions for effective factory management: SmartFactory for everyone or Oseon software enabling production networking and connecting all machines in the factory (including those from other manufacturers).

Breakthrough technologies at the AMADA stand

During this year’s edition of the ITM Industry Europe fair, AMADA will present the latest Amada laser cutting machine – Ventis AJe with a 6 kW fiber resonator. The device allows you to obtain a very high beam quality, which is necessary to obtain the best cutting results. The Ventis AJe 6kW laser cutting machine uses AMADA’s groundbreaking Locus Beam Control (LBC) technology to provide a flexible solution that is tailored to any laser cutting need. The new cutter with the Amada resonator with a single diode module was designed for high speed and efficiency of the cutting process. LBC technology allows the laser beam to move in predetermined patterns regardless of the movement of the laser cutting head, ensuring optimal material removal. This technology can also be used to cut small round holes without moving the laser cutting head, allowing for much faster processing. During tests – cutting 100 holes with a diameter of 1.5 mm – time savings of 70% were achieved.

An undoubted advantage is the modular design of AMADA’s automation solutions. Both autonomous processes – such as monitoring the protective glass, lens, shape and technical condition of the nozzle, centricity of the laser beam – and automatic resumption of processing after a head collision are performed without operator participation ensuring reliable operation of the machine. Among the new features and functionalities of the Ventis AJe 6kW cutter, it is also worth paying attention to the new AMNC 4ie control system. It is designed for easier machine operation and faster processing thanks to a more powerful processor. Thanks to reduced energy consumption and small size, the Ventis-AJe 6kW laser cutting machine is an ideal machine to increase production.
