An all-rounder in
infrared marking
Trumpf have launched the new extremely
compact and versatile TruMark 3020 laser
marker, a system that can be used in
almost any environment. Suitable for all
marking tasks in the infrared range this new
model has high beam quality and high pulse
peak power enabling it to mark almost any
material.
This marking versatility is complemented
by the unit’s ability to operate in ambient
temperatures of up to 40°C without a
problem. It is also cooled by air rather than
water making it self-contained and virtually
maintenance free.
An innovative design and modular layout
characterizes the TruMark product and this
latest addition is no exception. Extras such
as a pilot laser and optical focus adjustment
can be specified but even with these
additions the total laser package still weighs
less than 10kg.
The TruMark 3020 is less than a quarter of
the size of the VectorMark compact laser
allowing it to be easily integrated into other
systems. This latest generation of marking
lasers from Trumpf also uses comparatively
little power, which according to the company
is in the region of 80 per cent less power
than its forerunners.
The scanner, laser head and power supply
with hybrid cable are simply plugged in for
quick and easy installation. Plug-in cards
also allow modular expansion of the control
system.
