Tube up to 10 inches in diameter
Our Trumpf TruLaser Tube 7000 processes tubing and structural profiles with features that go beyond a straight saw cut. Published equipment limits include tube diameters up to 10 inches and walls up to 0.375 inch.
Diameter, wall thickness, material and cut geometry work together. Our team confirms the combination for your part, including the required features and finish.
Load up to 30 feet. Unload up to 20 feet.
Automated loading and unloading support long-member production on the TruLaser Tube 7000. Raw material can be loaded in lengths up to 30 feet, with automated unloading for finished lengths up to 20 feet.
Discuss both the incoming stock and the finished part length so handling is part of the cutting plan.
Complex features in angle and channel
The tube laser also processes structural profiles, including angle up to L6 × 6 inches and channel up to C6 × 10.5 lb/ft. Holes and connection features can be incorporated before parts move to welding or assembly.
Use the process videos below to see examples of large tube, round tube and structural channel cutting.
Control the weld-seam position
Seam detection allows the tube weld seam to be positioned relative to the cut features. Mark the required seam orientation on the drawing when it matters to fit-up or appearance.
Plan the connection as well as the cut
Include mating parts, hole locations and any bevel or countersink requirements so the team can confirm the complete feature set.
