TRUMPF (Farmington, CT) has introduced a new naming convention to enable immediate recognition of all TRUMPF electric, battery and compressed air power tools. All products will have the name of TruTool, followed by the core name. For example, the N 500-8 nibbler, is now 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 TRUMPF
electric, battery and compressed air tools. Next is the core name
without suffixes. This core always contains an abbreviation of the
machine type (such as PN for profile nibbler) and a number which
describes power characteristics. For example, 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 have been dropped. They will be replaced by exact
descriptions. Another example that illustrates the new names is the
C 250-0 PLUS Li slitting shears are now the TruTool C 250 with chip
clipper and Li-Ion battery.
