Slat cleaner removes flatbed laser slag build-up

A new award-winning product from Trumpf’s Power Tool Division was shown for the first time in the UK at MACH 2006. The TSC-1 slat cleaner provides an easy method of removing the slag that builds-up during laser processing from support slats and pallets of the flatbed machine. It saves time, costs and enhances workpiece finish.

The TSC-1 is a first.

There is no other dedicated cleaning tool for this purpose and Trumpf’s innovation in this regard has resulted in it receiving the coveted 2006 UK German government Award for ‘Outstanding Innovative Achievement’.

The TSC-1 underwent rigorous assessment before being declared the winner by the Munich and Upper Bavarian Chamber of Trade.

Until now, dirty pallets either had to be replaced or manually pounded with a hammer to remove the slag build-up.

It was a process that was time-consuming, not wholly effective and certainly not beneficial to the operator’s health.

With the new TSC-1 it takes just 20 min to clean a standard slat measuring 1500mm x 3000mm.
