TruTops Laser: Programming system for laser cutting
  • Create or import drawings suitable for production with the laser
  • Generate process-reliable NC programs through contour recognition and geometry analysis
  • Excellent cost efficiency thanks to optimized sheet layout
  • Automatic processing: Corner processing with loops or fillets, recognize inside and outside contours, differentiate between open and closed contours, set common slitting cuts.

TruTops Punch: Programming system for punching and combination machining
  • Create or import drawings. Use of macros
  • Automatic punching: Single holes and complete contours
  • Automatic laser processing: Piercing points, clean cuts
  • Automation components: Eject parts through chutes, remove parts with the LiftMaster and define loading operations with visual support
  • Optimized sheet layout for punching and combination technology

TruTops Tube: Programming system for laser processing of tubes
  • Integrated drawing module with numerous "Standard cases" of tube machining which can be modified.
  • No design, but input of data for tube penetrations, topping and inserts
  • Automatic processing definition
  • 3D visualization for checking the processes

TruTops Bend: Programming system for bending
  • Minimize preparation and setup times at the machine
  • Automatic calculation of bend sequences and setup plan
  • 3D simulation of the entire bending process
  • Create setup proposals
  • Bending factors based on TRUMPF experience
  • Photo-realistic display of situation at the press brake
  • Automation module (optional) for controlling the TRUMPF BendMaster for automated sheet handling
  • The automation module is fully integrated in TruTops Bend: both the TruBend and the BendMaster can therefore be programmed from one application

TruTops Cell: Programming system for 3D laser processing
TruTops Cell is a technology-oriented programming system specially developed for TRUMPF 3D laser processing centers. The program is the connecting link between the design and production departments.

Importing 3D-CAD data
Some processing possibilities:

  • Check and process the imported CAD models
  • Simply position the workpiece in the work envelope or determine a new axis system through calibration
  • Generate and extend geometries at the model
  • Perform automatic circular interpolation (CIP) for the 3D cutting contour
  • Identify standard contours automatically and output them as machine macros
Output:
  • TruTops simulates the tool path with collision check. Possible collisions between laser head and workpiece can be manually corrected in advance
  • The generated NC code is displayed throughout the creation phase and all changes are immediately updated

TruTops Fab: Greatest transparency in planning and controlling all production jobs

To know at one glance which machine and production jobs exist and their current status: with TruTops Fab, TRUMPF offers its customers a software solution that lends transparency to sheetmetal fabrication.

Advantages of TruTops Fab:

  • Complete overview, from calculation and production, all the way to invoicing
  • All machines and production jobs can be planned and controlled by TruTops Fab.
  • For this purpose, TruTops Fab offers wide-ranging possibilities for communicating with PPS and ERP systems, TruTops programming systems, machine controllers and storage systems.
  • Automatic machine feedback messages (MDE/BDE/Piece times/etc.) are available for evaluation, as are messages from the manual feedback systems.

With the other options TruTops Fab offers, all work steps in sheetmetal fabrication can be planned and controlled. Besides this, the production jobs can be scheduled, based on the capacities available at the individual workplaces.

The modular structure of TruTops Fab allows the customer to configure the system scope to best meet his specific requirements.
