The Trumph TCF 1 is a diffusion-cooled CO2 laser with an output of 2 kw. It is for thin sheetmetal applications. The manufacturer reports that the unit's 12.4 ft ³ and 550 lb makes it one of the lightest beam sources in its class. The laser light is generated between two tube-shaped electrodes with an annular arrangement. This combined with the free-beam-propagation in the resonator places a less-critical demand on the gap dimension in free propagation, compared to wave-guided resonators. The unit features low gas and energy consumption, and its small footprint lets it mount on machines or robots. The laser can be used in clean-rooms because it does not generate air movement. A 4-kW model is also available.
