Already in 2012, the laser technology experts at TRUMPF Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH + Co. KG installed a cleanroom facility at the Ditzingen site, where ISO 5 class flowboxes are used to assemble processing optics and laser beam guidance assemblies. (Source: Nerling Systemräume GmbH)

Already in 2012, the laser technology experts at TRUMPF Werkzeugmaschinen GmbH + Co. KG installed a cleanroom facility at the Ditzingen location, where ISO 5 class flowboxes are used to assemble processing optics and laser beam guidance assemblies. (Source: Nerling Systemräume GmbH)

To enable the high purity class in the flow boxes and to keep all components as particle-free as possible, a comparable cleanliness class must also be maintained outside the boxes, inside the cleanroom cabin. The cleanroom is therefore classified as ISO 8 and has an additional assembly area of ISO 7 class. (Source: Nerling Systemräume GmbH)

The entire wall and ceiling system used at TRUMPF is freestanding. Additionally, the room system is modularly constructed, making it easy to expand and dismantle. (Source: Nerling Systemräume GmbH)

A 7-zone ultrasonic cleaning system is located upstream of the assembly and integrated into the cleanroom, transporting the cleaned material directly into the assembly room. It was procured parallel to the cleanroom and had to be incorporated into the planning. (Source: Nerling Systemräume GmbH)
