The Chinese market is full of confidence and expectations
1 Many new products were unveiled, integrating digitalization and intelligence
Trumpf displayed a variety of laser products and digital solutions suitable for different processing scenarios at this exhibition. Among them, for the processing of new energy vehicle power batteries, Trumpf’s TruDisk green laser has a power of up to 3kW, which is mainly used for copper welding applications in batteries and automotive electronic equipment. The TruMicro 7000 laser used for laser cleaning has a laser output of up to 2kW, which effectively improves customers’ production efficiency. The TruMicro 9000 laser has a 1kW ultra-short pulse with a pulse energy of 1 picosecond and 10 millijoules. This laser uses Trumpf’s slab amplification technology and multipath amplification technology to achieve this high power level.
In terms of fiber lasers, the TruFiber G fiber laser has a power of up to 12kW, which is not only cost-effective, but also very suitable for laser cutting applications. In addition, Trumpf also provides two fiber laser products from single-mode to multi-mode high power, which can be flexibly matched with BLM ring core light technology. This technology uses a dual-fiber configuration to optimize customers’ welding application effects. It is worth mentioning that the high-end TruFiber S laser combines the advantages of disk and fiber lasers, cleverly integrating the efficient fiber laser engine with the free space optical technology used by TRUMPF in disk lasers, not only realizing multi-output functions, but also using BLM ring core light technology, which greatly improves the welding effect.
The new generation of PFO 33 products is not only rich in functions, but also incorporates a number of innovative technologies. This product adopts a lightweight lens design, which significantly improves the dynamic performance. At the same time, TRUMPF has also added a protective glass dirt monitoring function to it. Once the protective glass is contaminated, PFO 33 will issue a prompt reminder. In addition, this PFO 33 also has an in-flight coordinate compensation function, which is particularly suitable for the compensation of the rotating axis in cylindrical battery welding. Through the combined application of PFO 33 and OCT, welding parts can be easily identified in the scanning area, and welding operations can be easily handled. At the same time, it can also measure the welding depth and width of the weld, helping customers to identify and adjust the surface structure to ensure that the welding quality meets the standards.
In terms of digital solutions, TRUMPF’s display is equally impressive. The Smart View service allows customers to quickly understand the status and productivity of the laser. The new quality data storage QDS system can collect and pre-process quality data in the process. For example, welding position, energy scanning position, welding depth, sensor information, etc., and associate this data with the customer’s parts.
In addition, TRUMPF also provides valuable data services to customers, using algorithms to process laser data and predict service cases that may cause unnecessary downtime. Finally, the Visionline AI product uses image recognition technology to detect parts before welding and perform quality inspections after welding to ensure product quality.
2 Layout of the artificial intelligence track, the Chinese market will lead the world
TRUMPF China Laser Technology CEO Huang Zhe said that as a representative of “new quality productivity”, artificial intelligence has broad application prospects in industrial production, management and services. Artificial intelligence will bring changes to the laser industry, especially in improving production efficiency and optimizing manufacturing processes. Now, due to the leap in chips and computing power, artificial intelligence has become a hot topic.
At the same time, he also believes that the development speed of the Chinese market is at the forefront of the world, and the Chinese market is becoming more and more important in the world, so no matter which laser company, it needs to pay attention to the Chinese market. By deeply exploring customers and serving Chinese customers well, TRUMPF can see more opportunities. He believes that China’s laser market will not only play a major role in China’s application market in the future, but also play a more positive role in the global laser application market.
