Large Order for Laser Cutters
In Germany, Volkswagen AG of Wolfsburg
has ordered 50 TruLaser Cell 8030 series laser cutting machines from Trumpf Laser
und Systemtechnik GmbH of Ditzingen. The initial batch of machines will be divided
among the automaker’s headquarters and its sites in Kassel and Spain. Trumpf
is expected to fulfill the entire order over the next two years. Volkswagen will
use the machines to produce hot-formed parts for car bodies. It selected the device
based on its high productivity and combined it with Trumpf’s fiber-guided
TruDisk laser, creating an overall package that minimizes cost per part.
