Trumpf unveiled its new TruLaser 8000 Power Edition at the recent EuroBLECH 2026 exhibition in Hanover, featuring a 50 kW fibre laser – more than twice the power of the most powerful laser previously available in the company’s machine tool portfolio. 

Designed to combine high productivity with precision, cut quality and process reliability, the machine targets manufacturers processing thick sheet metal, particularly in the construction and stainless steel industries. Its benefits become apparent from material thicknesses of 10 mm, with the system capable of processing sheets up to 80 mm thick. 

According to Martin Blaschke, product manager at Trumpf, delivering high laser power effectively to the workpiece is the real challenge. The company’s expertise in laser technology and machine tool manufacturing has enabled it to combine cutting performance with the precision and robustness required for reliable production. 

The TruLaser 8000 Power Edition also incorporates integrated cameras providing live views of the machine interior, cutting process and pallet changer. Accessible remotely, these images help operators identify problems and respond quickly. An additional control-panel screen displays live feeds and production data from multiple machines, providing a central overview of machine status, remaining runtimes and potential interruptions. 

Utilisation reports also help manufacturers identify opportunities to improve machine availability and productivity. 

Available in formats ranging from 3 x 1.5 m to 8 x 2.5 m, the system is aimed at heavy machinery and plant engineering, steel service centres, defence and infrastructure applications, where accurate, productive processing of thick materials is essential. 

The machine made its market debut at EuroBLECH, with a further presentation planned at Trumpf’s INTECH in-house exhibition in April 2027.
