In September 2011 an elaborately designed laser truck carrying a special cargo will embark on a journey across Germany. Inside, an area measuring 45 square meters will provide space for several TRUMPF work stations that can handle various industrial applications of laser processing - a demonstration center in mini-format. The focus will be on what the laser can do, as parts ranging from cylinder head gaskets to business cards are, welded and marked on the truck.

“The purpose of our road show is to bring the message home to our customers that the laser is a fascinating and highly versatile tool, delivering it directly on their own doorsteps,” affirms Jürgen Rumberger, Sales Director Laser Technology Germany at TRUMPF. The laser truck will start its tour in Hamburg, then move on to Leipzig, Jena and Gießen on its way to Bavaria, and after numerous further stops will complete its journey in the Rhine and Ruhr region.

“We hope our road show will attract interest for laser applications at firms which have not yet used the technology,” explains Rumberger. At the same time, we want to show new areas of application to our existing customers.” For this reason, the live demonstrations on the truck will be accompanied by an extensive program of presentations to provide customers with all the information they need about possible applications, new laser tool developments and low-cost production methods.
