Member of TRUMPF was founded in 1923 as a series of mechanical workshops and has since then developed into one of the world’s leading companies for machine tools, laser technology, and electronics for industrial applications. The company’s mission is to further develop and digitally connect production technology, to make it even more effi cient, precise, and future-proof. In doing so, TRUMPF works towards making manufacturing and its upstream and downstream processes more effi cient. TRUMPF’s software solutions pave the way to the Smart Factory, allowing companies to implement high-tech processes in industrial electronics. The family company is headquartered in Ditzingen near Stuttgart, Germany and is represented by over 70 subsidiaries in all of the world’s leading markets. Production facilities are located in Austria, China, the Czech Republic, France, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Switzerland, and the United States.

Expert in laser technology

The product portfolio of TRUMPF starts in the range of low-power lasers for e.g. marking and ends up with multi-kilowatt systems for the chip-producing industry. Between these poles a large variance in power, pulse length, wavelength, and beam quality can be offered. No matter if it is cutting, welding, cleaning, or marking of stainless steel, aluminum, copper, or plastics – there is a laser for each application. Furthermore, a large variety of machine systems is available. TRUMPF is a strong and reliable partner for medical technology companies, mainly in the fields of laser marking, laser cutting, and laser welding, but also in metal 3D printing. Long-term success within the market is based on high-end technical solutions and a strong drive for innovation.

Laser marking

Laser marking is a process that has become indispensable when applying UDI codes. Nevertheless, every material needs the right laser to apply high-quality markings. For instance, the integration of pico- and femtosecond lasers into marking systems enables the so-called blackmarking process. This process is used to create durable, long-lasting UDI markings on metal surfaces – a manda-

tory requirement for the medical-device production. In addition, TruMark systems also realize processes related to the actual marking, such as quality control through image processing or communication with databases.

Laser welding + Laser cutting

The joining of complex products requires highly reliable manufacturing methods. The TRUMPF laser welding systems enable a broad range of benefits in precise and repeatable 3D laser welding of assemblies such as medical instruments. The large variety of welding optics and laser sources allows the optimal configuration for individual production demands. Implemented image processing and monitored laser power ensure consistently high-quality process results. As a pioneer in laser cutting, TRUMPF offers sophisticated and robust technology for 2D and 3D cutting applications. Thanks to excellent precision and dynamics, even the smallest workpieces and devices can be processed without compromising on the high demands for quality and productivity.

Metal 3D printing

3D printing is shaping the future of industrial production. Metal 3D printing with TRUMPF offers the possibility to create a completely new product right from scratch that fulfills the quality standards. Starting with loose metal powder, our TruPrint machines can economically print orthopaedic devices, CMF implants, tooling inserts for the manufacturing of disposable products, or any other devices. In addition, further developments of in-line process monitoring and process automation make the technology even more reliable and reproducible. To satisfy the high demands of medical technology, TRUMPF Laser- und Systemtechnik GmbH not only offers turnkey solutions including consulting and application support, but also provides expert advice in industry-specific topics such as equipment qualification. Together with its customers, TRUMPF acts as a solution provider with a strong focus on future trends and development projects.
