Instead of welding two single parts together to make a corner connection, you can achieve the same result more efficiently using a laser-cut tube with bend connections and positioning aids. Save 31% in costs and produce the component with a laser tube-cutting machine in half the time.
Tube part design
Tubes and profiles are used everywhere – from machine and system construction all the way to the furniture industry. Laser tube cutting saves entire process steps, which allows you to save money. Secure your share of the growing market for laser-cut tubes. You will learn exactly how this works with the appropriate advice.
Example: Optimized cantilever
In conventional manufacturing, three parts are adjusted to one another in individual process steps – which is time-consuming and logistically challenging. The cantilever is now cleverly manufactured from two identical tubes with identical shape and dimensions. Both parts are adjusted to one another on a laser tube-cutting machine and then connected together.
