The advantages of our laser tube cutting machines

The economic pressure in conventional tube processing is increasing. The laser can save you entire process steps – and money too. At the same time, you can expand your range of parts and therefore your customer base. As a market leader in laser technology and the machine tool industry, we are the innovative trendsetters in the market, offering you perfect solutions when it comes to laser tube cutting.

1. Loading

Your metal tubes and metal profiles begin their journey through the TruLaser Tube machines with the loading process. Short setup times, very good accessibility and a practical machine concept with many functions make part handling quick and easy.

2. Cutting

Top quality while saving time and protecting the material: numerous options make it possible for you to cut your metal tubes and profiles with the TruLaser Tube

3. Unloading

The TruLaser Tube is extremely efficient even when unloading, demonstrating the same benefits it displays during loading – clever solutions, good accessibility, ergonomics.

4. Software

TRUMPF provides software, not just for programming, but also for production management and for a well-run, smooth process.

1. Loading

Automated

The LoadMaster Tube minimises your setup times. Its bundle space accommodates up to 4 t of raw material. It ensures that the correct tubes were loaded before supplying the material.

Flexible

The open, ergonomically optimised machine concept makes it easy for you to even load individual tubes.

Smart

Thanks to Smart Profile Detection, you can load profiles with complicated geometries automatically, not just manually. This opens up new areas of application. SeamLine Tube identifies weld seams or markings, ensuring every tube is aligned correctly on your machine. The function can also optionally scan the inside of the tube.

Perfectly clamped

The collet chucks position and hold your tubes in place without damaging the materials. The self-centring clamping system with continuous sensor monitoring adapts to every tube geometry. This gives you precise results and consistently high quality.

2. Cutting

Robust laser

The heart of every TruLaser Tube is a high-power laser from TRUMPF's own production. Choose the laser that is just right for you from different laser types and laser performance categories.

Intelligent cutting head

You save non-productive time thanks to the single cutting head strategy. In addition, the slim nozzle also processes inner edges effortlessly. A magnetic coupling protects the cutting unit in the event of collisions.

Concentrated expertise

From the very start, your cutting processes are quick and of the best quality: you will receive a complete package of top quality cutting data, paired with simple operation and process-reliable TRUMPF technology.

Constant focus position

Optimum cutting results guaranteed: FocusLine keeps the focus position of your laser consistent and automatically adapts it to material type and thickness.

Controlled piercing

Would you like to have small, precise piercing holes while saving time and protecting machine and materials? Then PierceLine is the perfect function for you.

Bevel cut of up to 45°

Extend your range of parts with high-grade bevel cutting up to 45°: the bevel cutting option with patented TRUMPF technology makes this possible.

3. Unloading

Ergonomic while gentle on the material

Conveyor tables at an ergonomic height make it easier to unload tubes and profiles. They also serve as a helpful material buffer. The machine ejects finished parts onto the conveyor tables – that protects the material.

Intelligent

Your machine is ahead of the game: sensors detect whether or not a part has been correctly ejected – a bonus for your process reliability.

4. Software

Programming Tube

Create your NC programs within seconds! The well-arranged programming software is easy to use, many design aids are often already included in the program.

Laser tube cutting provides new design options which enable tube processors to thrill their customers. Innovative designs also ensure a great potential for savings.

A world of tubes

A different way of designing:

You produce complete assemblies with meaningful tube designs. With the pressure in conventional tube processing mounting, you are saving time and money – and tapping into new customer groups.

We see tubes every day, more than we realise...

...which is exactly what makes laser tube cutting so profitable: the many application options and efficient processing with TRUMPF machines.

Make the most of contouring freedom: you can cut any geometry with the laser beam. It is easy to operate the TruTops machines, meaning you are ready for small lot sizes in no time at all.
Save tools: you only need one tool – your TRUMPF laser. It processes different material types, wall thicknesses and profile geometries. No tool changes are needed.
Cap part costs: laser tube cutting eliminates entire process steps like sawing, drilling or milling. With the right TRUMPF functions, you can also form threads directly in the TruLaser Tube – lowering the expenditure for handling and storage as well. Your part costs are significantly lowered compared to conventional tube processing.

An altogether excellent setup – including excellent advice and consultation

Consultation for part design

How can you process your assemblies and subassemblies in the most efficient manner? How do you conquer unfamiliar part territory? We answer these questions within a consultation about part design – in a workshop at TRUMPF or at your facility. Lower your part costs and inspire your customers with new ideas!
