Allow a vision to come to life with tubes and profiles in vehicle frames, in furniture and lamps, as well as in mechanical and plant engineering, for example. A fully automated tube processing chain helps you to tackle any skills shortages, reduce your high costs, and develop new business opportunities. TRUMPF will provide everything you need to achieve this. The full package. When will you invest in limitless options from a single source?
Your challenges in the tube processing sector
What does your perfect tube processing chain look like?
Increased security thanks to seamless support of the entire process chain
The tube processing chain consists of storing, processing, and welding. It can be automated precisely based on your requirements. A fully automated process chain comprises up to 7 steps: storing, loading, laser tube cutting, unloading and sorting, tube bending, 3D laser cutting, and welding. Our software and service solutions simplify the process. Of course, you can also only partially automate the process steps. It is up to you – design your perfect process chain with us.
Overview of the process steps
1. Storing
The right store solution for your raw material and more storage space. The STOPA store and our Oseon production control will help you to structure your store and save on search times.

Fully automated loading of your laser tube-cutting machine: The machine requests raw material via an interface and is loaded directly from the store cartridges.
Find out more3. Laser tube cutting
Design complex contours and new tube designs using cost-effective, efficient, and flexible technology that prevents reworks and errors.
Find out more4. Automated unloading and sorting
Automated unloading and sorting via the unloading automation interface with longitudinal conveyor belt. This reduces operator involvement, errors, and costs.
Find out more5. Tube bending
Highly efficient and accurate CNC tube bending technology reduces component costs, and prevents welding and soldering work. We rely on transfluid® as our partner.
Find out more6. 3D laser cutting
A TruLaser Cell system will enable you to integrate complex geometries into bent tubes both in bending zones and final cuts.
Find out more7. Welding
Automatic arc welding ensures the productive and reliable joining of components. Automatic laser welding also saves you time and money.

Modules for your fully automated tube processing production solution
We can provide the perfect components from a single source for every process step: Fully automated or a combination of automated and manual modules. Your solutions can thus range from a separate stand-alone machine to a complete automated system – tailored exactly to your needs. In addition, you will receive the appropriate software and services.
Stores
Reduce the capacity of your raw material store, improve your warehouse management system with Oseon, and enable the Purchasing department to benefit from the advantages of strategic material procurement.
Automated loading
Would you like to load your laser tube-cutting machine automatically? This is now possible thanks to the tube store with a storage connection. A conveyor unit is directly connected to the LoadMaster Tube that loads the machine. The storage system can be optimally adjusted to your requirements and production size.
Laser tube cutting
Make the most of maximum creative freedom, automated programming, as well as cost-effective, efficient, and flexible production.
Automated unloading and sorting
Automatically unload and sort finished parts? Also possible! This will lighten the workload of your team and motivate them, as well as reducing operator involvement, errors, and costs.
Tube bending
Do you want to reduce component costs or avoid welding and soldering work? With the fully automated solutions for CNC tube bending from our solution partner transfluid®, we can offer the right technology for all requirements.
3D laser cutting
A TruLaser Cell will enable you to integrate complex geometries into bent tubes both in bending arcs and final cuts.
Welding
Whether a laser welding system or robotic welding cells – we can provide your perfect system.
Overcome the challenges
The advantages of a fully automated tube processing production solution
Automated processes will ensure you require fewer qualified specialist staff.
Reduce risk of errors and increase productivity and efficiency with automated processes.
Reduce cost pressures with strategic purchasing and reduced throughput times.
Counteract a lack of space by using vertical stores and optimizing your use of space.
