New TRUMPF metalworking machine: enhancing customer-focused production

The TRUMPF TruMatic 6000 enables a more efficient, flexible, and even higher-quality production of lighting fixtures, directly benefiting our customers. One thing is certain: the way we handle sheet material has changed forever.

Better products, shorter lead times

“TRUMPF, a German market leader in laser and punching technology, is highly regarderd in the industry. By combining punching and laser technology, Multiline’s production can integrate more complex shapes and smart features directly into metal parts. This includes processes such as threading, roll forming, or adding reinforcement ribs – all in one automated movement,” explains Francis Sercu. “This results in fewer manual operations, reduced risk of errors, and a finished product that’s quicker to move into assembly.”

Francis Sercu is the product manager at V.A.C. Machines, a family-owned company in Bruges that supplied and installed the machine. For more than 15 years, we have been able to rely on them for our machinery.

Consistent quality, even in small series

“The TruMatic 6000 is linked to the SheetMaster and GripMaster” Francis continues. “This setup allows the machine to automatically load and sort material, enabling Multiline to produce almost hands-off, even for small series. This automation not only guarantees consistent quality but also makes small-scale custom production financially viable.”

For customers, this translates to:

• shorter lead times;
• consistent, high-quality finishes;
• greater design flexibility and custom lighting solutions.

In other words, we are now even better equipped to respond flexibly to the specific needs of our customers – without compromising on the finishing or lead time.

Investing in cutting-edge technology

In addition to installation, V.A.C. Machines also provides training and software support. This ensures that our operators can get the most out of the machine. With the integrated TruTops Boost software, they can switch more quickly between design and production, further enhancing efficiency.

The benefits for customers are clearly noticeable. You receive a high-precision finished product quickly, with integrated features that simplify the assembly process. This investment reinforcers our position as a reliable lighting partner with full in-house production – from design to the final product.
