Sensor system with RFID lens

Trumpf has enhanced its LensLine sensor system for 2D laser cutting machines by combining it with a radio frequency identification lens for greater accuracy, process reliability and user friendliness. The LensLine condition monitoring function improves the reliability of cutting processes and reduces the frequency of lens cleaning, Trumpf claims. The new RFID lens is a standard feature of all Trumpf TruLaser Series 3000 machines with a CO2 laser. The RFID chip attached to the lens records condition monitoring data and other information, such as when the lens has been cleaned.
