The TRUMPF Group is one of the world’s leading corporations in production technology, with a total of approximately 6,500 employees at 43 locations in 3 countries. Our innov­ations set the trend: we are the leader for industrial laser

technology and laser systems in the global market, and are

among the largest machine tool suppliers worldwide. Because

we never settle for second­rate solutions. This applies not only

to our products, but also to the names we give them.

orientation.

Better overview,

We developed the names of our machines, lasers, programming systems, tools and accessories parallel with our product range. As our product range grew over the years, so did the number of product names.

For that reason, we are introducing a new name concept in October 006. This will initially apply to our two largest busi­ness fields: machine tools and laser technology.

These new names are intended to provide an improved over­ view of our product programme structure. Machines can now be categorised easily according to their new distinctive

names, backed by a consistent and logical system.

The name

says it

all.

The new names are derived from a very simple formula, which applies both to machine tools and laser beam sources. The first part is the prefix “Tru”, which stands for TRUMPF. Next follows the English designation of the technology, such as “Punch”,

which together produces the product family name. After the product family name is a four­digit number, which reflects the performance of the machine or the laser. Here is an example:It’s even easier with software: After “Tru” comes “Tops” and the name of the technology that can be programmed with the software.

With automation, processes, punching tools and products for tool handling, the name is made up of only two components. That is an anchor name for the application, such as “Master” for automation or “Line” for processes, plus a descriptive term (e.g. “sheet” or “fly”).Machine and material numbers remain as before. Service and spare parts orders are processed the same as previously. Things that won’t change.

After the product family name for machine tools and lasers is a number, which represents the performance class and in some cases, describes additional important product characteristics. Check our name finder to find the exact reference.With machine tools, the first of the four digits designates the performance, so a higher number signifies increased per­ formance. A “TruPunch 5000” operates faster than a “TruPunch 1000”. Series 000 machines are the exception because they are customized machines.

The following illustrations provide a complete overview of the new name system in the areas of software, machine tools, lasers, automation, processes, punching tools and tool handling.

that is easy to
