The TRUMPF cartridge is a component used in Trumpf punch press and punch laser machines to hold and support the tooling system,made from durable materials such as fiber-reinforced plastic, ensuring they are lightweight yet robust. It is fully compatible with a range of Trumpf machines, including TruPunch models 200, 500R, 600L, 1000, 2000, 2010L, 2020R, 3000, 3000L, 5000R, and 6000L
Primary Advantages
1.Rapid Setup/Tool Change,"Tools can be pre-set and aligned parallel to production, dramatically reducing machine downtime. The entire assembly is dropped in or removed in seconds."
2.Increased Safety,The lightweight and robust carrier protects the operator's hands from sharp tool components during transport and insertion.
3.Maximized Machine Uptime,"By allowing the operator to prepare the next job's tooling while the current job is running, the cartridge system maximizes the time the punch press is actively producing parts."
4.Protection of Machine Components,"The cartridge absorbs collision forces, safeguarding the precision-machined elements of the punching head."
5.Flexibility,"The universal cartridge size often supports a wide range of standard and specialized tools (forming, marking, etc.), all within the same station."
Key Features (RTC Tool Cartridge)
Lightweight Construction: The latest generation cartridges are often made from a fiber-reinforced plastic (or a lightweight aluminum alloy in third-party designs).
Advantage: This low weight is critical for the machine's performance, enabling very high acceleration values of the punching head and maximizing machine speed/efficiency.
Universal Design: A single cartridge design can often be used to hold multiple standard tool sizes (e.g., sizes 0, 1, and 2), maximizing flexibility and reducing the inventory of different cartridge types.
High-Precision Alignment: While the tool components (punch and die) have their own alignment rings, the cartridge itself is built with precision features that ensure the entire assembly locks securely and accurately into the machine's turret station.
Predetermined Breaking Point: Being made of a yielding plastic material, the cartridge is designed to act as a predetermined breaking point in the event of an erroneous program or collision.
Advantage: This sacrifices the inexpensive cartridge to protect the far more expensive punching head components and machine mechanics from damage.
Integrated Handling Aids: Newer designs include smart features like an integrated carrying aid, making it safer and easier for the operator to transport multiple cartridges simultaneously.
Color-Coding Capability: They often support the use of colored clips or markings for simple visual identification, helping operators organize their tool inventory by application, material, or program.
