New names for TRUMPF Power Tools |
|
To enable immediate recognition of all TRUMPF electrical and compressed air power tools, TRUMPF will introduce a new naming convention at EuroBLECH 2008. This means that all products will have the same name of TruTool, which will be placed before their current names. The N 500-8 nibbler, for instance, will now be the TruTool N 500. The company is extending its uniform naming system to the power tool division as it has for its machine tool and laser technology business fields. This will more readily differentiate TRUMPF equipment from the competition and strengthen the TRUMPF brand. The new names all consist of four parts: First is the prefix "Tru" for TRUMPF, followed by the word "Tool," which includes all electrical, battery and compressed air tools by TRUMPF. Next is the current core name without suffixes. This core always contains an abbreviation of the machine type (such as PN for profile nibbler) and a number which tells you about power characteristics. For instance, the new and world's fastest profile nibbler, the PN 130-0, which can cut steel sheets up to a thickness of 1.3 millimeters, will now be the TruTool PN 130. All product extensions such as version numbers or other specifications will be dropped. They will be replaced by exact descriptions. Another example illustrates this: The C 250-0 PLUS Li slitting shears will now be the TruTool C 250 with chip clipper and Li-Ion battery. An overview of the new names can be found in the completely rewritten 2008/2009 main catalog, available right now from TRUMPF and authorized dealers. |
