TRUMPF has increased the productivity of its TruMicro 6030 ultra-short pulse laser.

"Customers from all industries will benefit from this. Battery manufacturers in
particular can use this ultrashort pulse laser to cut complex battery foils for
smartphones or electric cars in industrial series production," says Steffen
Rübling, product manager responsible for ultrashort pulse lasers at TRUMPF.

Series production of battery foils for smartphones and electric cars

Cutting high-end battery foils for the latest generation of smartphones, for
example, is a demanding task. The foils have a complex structure and are
sometimes even coated on both sides. "Depending on the battery type, there are
different requirements and restrictions in the cutting process. Only the increased
laser power and real-time control of the individual laser pulses enable cost
effective series production," says Rübling. With Femto Real-Time Control, users
can adapt the laser parameters to the cutting areas of the foil and switch them in
milliseconds during the process. This saves manufacturing costs, as users only
need one laser source for cutting complex battery foils.
For laser drilling of membranes, for example for filtering microplastics, the
increased power allows users to split the laser pulses into up to 500 individual spots using special optics. “It is this multispot technology that makes laser drilling
of membranes suitable for industrial use,” says Rübling.
The ultra-short pulse laser is designed for maximum utilization and reliability.
TRUMPF relies on proven components to increase performance. Users can
operate the TruMicro 6030 in shifts 24 hours a day, seven days a week in their
production facilities.
