Quicker marking with new software

The new image processing program, named VisionLine Mark and made by TRUMPF, makes marking even simpler when using the lasers in the TruMark Series 3000, 5000 and 6000.

Ditzingen, November 3, 2015 - TRUMPF has developed the new image processing software VisionLine Mark for the laser units in the TruMark Series 3000, 5000 and 6000. The software has two new functions that make marking with a TRUMPF laser even easier and, above all, faster: Autofocus and Traceability.

New functions and an intuitive user interface

The Autofocus function automatically determines the right working distance for components with varying marking planes. The software determines the exact position on the surface of the part and, in response, the Z axis automatically moves to the marking position. This eliminates the need for elaborate set-up work and costly fixtures. Productivity rises at the same time and there are fewer rejects.

The Traceability function supports users in part identification and tracing. VisionLine Mark extracts information from a database, for instance, converts that data into a 2D code such as the data matrix or QR code, and then marks the component. Immediately after the marking process, a camera reads out the code thus generated and applied to the part. Here the software can also make a comparison between the specified and actual situations. The Traceability function also ensures that the marked code is actually legible and that the contents concur with the input information.

The new user interface built into VisionLine Mark attaches great importance to intuitive and convenient operation. Thus, for example, the illumination and camera settings can readily be stored in the software. The camera is then calibrated under software control.

A perfect cut - the TruLaser 5030 fiber

The performance capacities of the 2D laser machines and the solid-state lasers made by TRUMPF continue to advance. Just as in previous years, TRUMPF has unveiled technology highlights at each trade fair, redefining the standards for cutting with a solid-state laser. Worthy of special mention are the BrightLine fiber function, which turned the solid-state laser into an all-purpose tool, and the CoolLine feature. The latter stabilizes the cutting process for thick mild steel by way of closely defined cooling. This makes it possible, for instance, to cut extremely tight curves. At this Blechexpo in Stuttgart TRUMPF once again introduced new innovations that will make a decisive advance in laser cutting.

Among these features is the intelligent beam monitoring system – Smart Beam Control. It lends even greater reliability to the solid-state laser machines in the TruLaser Series 5000. Smart Beam Control automatically regulates the laser’s focal position during the cutting process itself. This function makes for constant superior reliability and makes it possible, in additi...
