TopsWorks. Efficiency Tool for the Entire Process Chain of Sheet Metal.

Integrated Solution Approach.

The task of TopsWorks is to eliminate the gap between construction and production in the process chain of sheet metal. Fully integrated into SolidWorks and perfectly aligned with the TruTops System of TRUMPF, TopsWorks offers an ideal tool to produce sheet metal parts of high quality with perfect measures in a cost and time efficient way and almost no rejects.

after only a short period of vocational adjust- ment the full power spectrum of TopsWorks is understood and can be used for the pro-cess of manufacturing sheet metal parts.

The system SolidWorks / TopsWorks compares the engineering data of a sheet metal part immediately to all relevant production data, so that a synchronization of the geometry of the SolidWorks sheet metal model and the produced sheet metal takes place. The feature ‘export of laser and punch profile’ as well as the transfer of differentiated information on bending and tools of a sheet metal part via the GEO-data format to the machine additio-nally offers complete production support.

The basis of the comprehensive approach to TopsWorks solutions lies in the complete integration into SolidWorks. That means that the user is able to work with TopsWorks in his familiar working environment. On top of everything the handling of TopsWorks is easy to become accustomed to, so that

Simply faster and more efficient.

TopsWorks offers users unsurpassed functionality for constructing sheet metal parts suitable for production and process. The ability of exporting data from SolidWorks into GEO-formats as well as importing GEO-files into SolidWorks, offers a flexibility which can be used in a profitable manner especially by manufacturers.

TopsWorks increases the time and cost efficient production of sheet metal parts utilizing a number of intelligent tools. The user can utilize a table editor in order to edit his own user specific tables next to an application programming interface for automated repetition processes

Essential in the long run.

TopsWorks was developed for the user, who designs his own sheet metal parts in SolidWorks and then produces on TRUMPF machines. The “visual prototype“, generated with TopsWorks-data, that considers all equipment relevant information, characterizes TopsWorks as the system that provides verifiable facts for the production of sheet metal parts.

data base. All production-relevant data is already considered in the first steps of engineering. That means fewer rejects and fewer samples, but also shorter cycle times, higher flexibility and paperless data transfer.

Since TopsWorks directly accesses the database of the TruTops production system TruTops Punch and TruTops Bend, engineering and production use a uniform
