Identify the generation and installed system
The reviewed UK TruLaser 3030 fiber table lists 3,000 × 1,500 mm X–Y travel, 1,100 kg without a heavy-duty pallet changer, and 1,800 kg per workpiece with one. With the heavy-duty changer, both pallets together are limited to 2,200 kg. Two 1,400 kg pieces total 2,800 kg, 600 kg over the combined limit. Check thickness distribution, supports, handling, and the installed source and cutting package separately. TRUMPF technical data, 3030 fiber column.

Working range and pallet loads
The current UK product table, reviewed November 1, 2026, lists a 3,000 × 1,500 mm X–Y working range for the 3030 fiber. It specifies 1,100 kg maximum workpiece weight without a heavy-duty pallet changer and 1,800 kg with one. A separate limit for workpiece weight on both pallets with the heavy-duty changer is 2,200 kg; do not interpret the per-pallet figure as permission to load both pallets to that value simultaneously. The accompanying footnote also distinguishes maximum sheet-thickness distribution: 30/30 mm without the heavy-duty changer versus 50/10 mm with it, per pallet and format. Preserve these conditions rather than treating the total weight as the only restriction. TRUMPF technical data, 3030 fiber column
Original load-screen example: two 1,400 kg workpieces would each be below the listed 1,800 kg figure, but their combined 2,800 kg exceeds the listed 2,200 kg two-pallet limit by 600 kg. This arithmetic illustrates distinct constraints; it does not qualify support distribution, sheet condition, handling or an installed automation system.
Check stock margins, pierce and lead-in space, supports and unloading for the actual nest.
Power-dependent material capacity
The current manufacturer table gives the following examples. The values are maximum listed sheet thicknesses, not guaranteed quality thicknesses for every grade and contour:
| Listed source | Power | Mild steel | Stainless steel | Aluminium |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TruFiber 12001 | 12 kW | 30 mm; 35 mm with thick-sheet cutting package | 40 mm; 50 mm with package | 30 mm; 40 mm with package |
| TruFiber 24001 | 24 kW | 40 mm; 60 mm with thick-sheet cutting package | 40 mm; 60 mm with package | 40 mm |
Verify the exact source and package before using an extended value. A 24 kW capability cannot be assigned to a lower-power installation. TRUMPF laser-specific technical data
Select a production thickness only after establishing the required edge condition, dimensional acceptance and stable process on the intended material. A successful straight separation cut does not establish reliable small holes, intricate corners, piercing or production throughput at the same thickness.
Options are process capabilities to verify
TRUMPF describes BrightLine fiber as a combination of optics, flow-optimised nozzles and related technology for cut quality. Its general function guidance describes CoolLine as workpiece cooling for delicate contours in thick mild steel. These are named capabilities with specific mechanisms, not interchangeable labels for laser power. Check availability and installation for the exact machine before including either in a route.

Similarly, TRUMPF describes an integrated nitrogen/oxygen gas mixer and automatic feed adjustment through Active Speed Control in its broader machine-function guidance. That description does not establish either feature on a particular 3030 fiber. Retain the actual option list and supported technology data rather than inferring installation from a family marketing page. TRUMPF cutting functions
Qualify the cutting process
TRUMPF's laser-cutting guidance explains that unsuitable speed can increase roughness and burr formation. Cutting gas and pressure depend on the process; nitrogen and argon can shield the cut without reacting with molten metal. Gas-mixture benefits depend on material, alloy and quality. Do not substitute one gas merely because the machine can physically connect to it. TRUMPF laser-cutting principles
For a useful part-specific record, retain material grade, thickness and surface condition; source and installed options; nozzle, focus and gas technology; nest/program revision; inspection results; and any required subsequent edge treatment. Use the applicable manufacturer's parameter set as the starting point, then document the accepted process. This page supplies no universal pressure, feed, nozzle size or minimum hole ratio.
Trials should include the difficult features and realistic stock condition, not just a favorable perimeter. Assess dimensions, burr/dross, striation or roughness, taper, piercing damage and edge chemistry where subsequent welding or coating depends on it. Specify the measurement locations and acceptance method. A catalog maximum sheet thickness alone establishes none of these results.
For time estimates, distinguish cutting from piercing, traverses, loading, pallet exchange, sorting and downstream finishing. Nominal maximum axis speed is not a contour-cutting feed or a cycle-time guarantee. Follow the supplied operating, maintenance and installation instructions for gas supply, extraction, optics and handling; the public catalog is not a commissioning specification.
