Why Fiber? The TruDisk Solid-State Advantage

Unlike conventional CO₂ lasers, the TruDisk solid-state fiber laser converts electrical energy to light with dramatically higher efficiency — and it's immune to back-reflections from highly reflective materials. That means copper, brass, and aluminum can be processed at full speed without risk of resonator damage. The TruDisk can also be networked to share its laser output with additional processing stations, opening the door to laser welding applications.

Key Capabilities

The TruMatic 6000 Fiber pairs fiber laser speed with punch versatility — all within a fully enclosed, laser-safe platform engineered for high-volume, high-mix production runs.

TruDisk 3kW Fiber Laser

The solid-state TruDisk laser delivers cutting speeds up to 1,338 in/min on thin sheet — significantly faster than equivalent-power CO₂ systems. The highly efficient resonator design reduces energy consumption and maintenance intervals while maintaining exceptional beam quality.

1,338 in/min · Thin Sheet

Non-Ferrous Metal Processing

Copper, brass, and highly reflective metals that damage CO₂ laser resonators are processed without concern on the TruDisk — it's fully immune to back-reflections. This capability uniquely positions Lasertech to serve electrical, electronics, and plumbing component manufacturers.

20-Ton Electro-Hydraulic Punching

Up to 1,000 programmable strokes per minute for high-speed blanking, forming, tapping, and embossing. The 360° rotating tool holder handles 22 stations plus 3 clamps — and the optional ToolMaster extends automatic tool storage to 40–70 tools for complex, multi-feature parts.

1,000 Strokes / Min

Descending Die — Scratch-Free

The descending die retracts as the sheet positions, so sensitive surfaces — film-coated stainless, pre-painted, and polished materials — never contact the die. Forming strokes from both above and below produce taller and more complex forms than conventional tooling allows.

Film-Coated Stainless

Smart Machine Functions

Smart punch monitoring detects broken punches and stops the machine before scrap is produced. Smart Load automatically aligns the sheet precisely on the table. Smart Unload optimizes the part removal sequence — all reducing non-productive time and protecting quality.

Laser Network Ready

The TruDisk solid-state laser can be configured as part of a Laser Network — sharing its beam output to support additional laser processing stations such as laser welding. This unique capability extends the machine's value beyond cutting into new production processes.

Automation &
Smart Functions

A suite of intelligent automation features minimizes non-productive time and enables unattended multi-shift operation.

SheetMaster Load / Unload

Automatically loads raw sheets and unloads finished parts via sensor-protected flaps, enabling parallel loading and production for maximum throughput. Supports multi-sheet stacking configurations.

ToolMaster Auto Tool Exchange

The optional ToolMaster stores 40 to 70 punch tools and exchanges them automatically during production — enabling complex multi-feature parts to run lights-out without operator tool changes.

Smart Punch Monitoring

Sensors continuously monitor each punch stroke to detect broken tooling. On detection, the machine stops immediately and alerts the operator — preventing scrap parts, secondary damage, and costly downstream quality issues.

Smart Load / Smart Unload

Smart Load automatically and precisely aligns each sheet on the machine table, eliminating positional errors. Smart Unload optimizes the part removal sequence to minimize cycle time and ensure complete unloading reliability.

SortMaster Part Sorting

Finished laser-cut and punched parts are automatically sorted and deposited into separate bins via the SortMaster system — keeping jobs organized and eliminating manual part sorting between orders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common technical and procurement questions about the TruMatic 6000 Fiber at Lasertech Metal Works.

The TruMatic 6000 Fiber uses a solid-state TruDisk laser rather than a CO₂ gas laser. This provides significantly faster cutting speeds on thin sheets, full immunity to back-reflections so non-ferrous metals like copper and brass can be processed safely, higher energy efficiency, and the ability to network the laser to additional processing stations. The trade-off is slightly lower raw laser power (3kW vs 4kW on the TruMatic 7000 CO₂).

Yes — this is one of the machine's most significant advantages. Copper and brass are highly reflective materials that can reflect laser energy back into a CO₂ resonator and cause damage. The TruDisk solid-state fiber laser is physically immune to back-reflections, allowing copper and brass to be cut at full speed and with high precision without any risk to the machine.

Smart punch monitoring uses integrated sensors to detect whether a punch tool has broken during operation. When a broken punch is detected, the machine halts automatically and notifies the operator before any more parts are produced. This prevents an entire run of scrap parts, protects secondary tooling from damage, and avoids downstream quality escapes — all of which carry significant cost implications at production volume.

Yes. With SheetMaster for automated loading and unloading, SortMaster for part sorting, Smart Load/Unload for sheet alignment and removal optimization, and the optional ToolMaster for automatic tool exchange (40–70 tools), the TruMatic 6000 Fiber is fully capable of extended unattended production during nights and weekends.

The TruMatic 6000 Fiber is the better choice for thin-sheet work requiring maximum cutting speed, for parts requiring non-ferrous materials (copper, brass), or for stainless steel with sensitive surface finishes. The TruMatic 7000 is typically preferred for thicker carbon steel, high-tonnage forming, or applications requiring maximum punch force and stroke rate. At Lasertech, our team will review your drawings and recommend the right machine for your specific application — or split production across both when beneficial.
