There is something magical about every new beginning. In the case of laser tube cutting, it is the high-precision tool – the laser. You can even cut complex contours, wall thicknesses up to 10 mm, or materials like mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum with a diameter of up to 254 mm effortlessly with the laser. In addition to a variety of materials and shapes, laser tube cutting also offers even more – you can produce increasingly small lot sizes quickly and cost-efficiently.
"The TruLaser Tube 7000 fiber is a true all-around solution. The setup outlay when loading is minimal. Finished parts can be unloaded easily. The machine's user interface has a very clear structure. I was able to start producing quickly and reliably after just a short period of time."
"Word hasn't yet spread about many of the advantages of laser tube cutting. It doesn't just save us and our customers time and money, but also allows innovative tube designs, which we can now use to produce complete assemblies."
"Our productivity has increased by 30 percent due to the new machine. The machine works very precisely. It has allowed us to reduce costly secondary processes significantly. Some old systems have even been made obsolete."
You can save a hefty 49% in time and 31% in part costs on our example part with a bend connection by using laser tube cutting. At the same time, you can also make your processes and organization simpler. Compared to conventional sawing, drilling, and milling, you can also reduce downstream work steps such as deburring, welding, or assembly. In just one operation, you can cut complex contours, form threads, and cut tubes to length.
Cutting tubes and profiles using lasers opens up completely new avenues in design which were previously impossible using conventional processes. Free your design spirit and excite your customers with amazing design variants.
Tubes are a fixture of our everyday lives:
From robust frame constructions for buses and agricultural machinery, delicate designer furniture and lamps to complex systems made from tubes in mechanical engineering and system construction – you can find tube designs that have been processed using lasers everywhere. No wonder – because there are few tools that can be used with such flexibility and offer so much contour freedom. Innovative products made from laser-cut tubes are already being used successfully – in the furniture industry, construction industry, automotive industry, commercial vehicles and transport, mechanical engineering, system construction, the agricultural sector, the fitness industry, and air-conditioning and energy technology.
The Swabian Jura in Germany is where everything comes together. It is a holiday region that is affectionately sometimes also called the "Blue Belt". TRUMPF's impressive vertical range of manufacturing is tangible here. This is because all components needed to build a laser tube cutting machine reach final assembly here. In this hustle and bustle, trucks deliver parts from surrounding sites, day in, day out. These parts are needed to be able to finally deliver the finished machine.
By entering into laser tube processing, you are setting a clear course for success in the long term. For this purpose, choose the complete package from the global market leader in laser technology. With a perfectly coordinated, constantly available production system, you will enjoy cutting with your machine for years to come.
