Metal Fabrication Equipment

TruLaser Tube 5000

The TruLaser Tube 5000 makes it possible to cut tubes and profiles up to  150 mm, into sections in one clamping operation and to produce recesses and contours with the laser. Complete machining in one machine reduces set-up times, handling and organizational effort.

In addition, installation aids integrated into the tube simplify subsequent work steps. Pegs and clip connections eliminate the need for fixtures and time-consuming alignment work. Resonator sizes are available up to 3200 watt.

Smooth part removal with the new part removal station
The new part removal station optimizes access for removing the finished parts and enables smooth part removal. During machining, longer parts are supported by rollers, which then lift the parts out at an angle and forward them to the brush table, once they have been finished.

The brushes convey the parts to the front of the machine, where they can be comfortably removed manually during production or fed to a container. Small parts up to 300 mm drop through a chute into a container.

The TruLaser Tube 5000 is fitted as standard with the new part removal station for finished parts up to 3000 mm in length. A part removal station for finished parts up to 6000 mm is available as an option.

TruLaser Tube 7000

The TruLaser Tube 7000 can cut tubes and profiles with large diameters and wall thicknesses without sacrificing productivity. It is able to process tubes up to 30 feet long and can handle a maximum weight of 496 pounds. The system’s 0.6 to 10 inch clamping range enables new applications. Available with up to 3.6 kilowatts of laser power, it is ideal for a wide range of applications.

Compared with conventional processes like sawing, drilling or milling, selecting a TruLaser Tube 7000 machine can boost productivity significantly. One example of a productivity enhancement is the short set-up time when changing programs. Nearly all of the adjustments depend on profile specifics. Values that have to be entered at the machine and the loading unit can easily be handled by the parts program. The self-centering chucking jaws do not need to be changed and the rollers that provide support and lateral guidance for the tubing automatically adjust to the diameter. Even the integrated scrap container in the feed station is emptied without operator intervention.

The FocusLine function automatically adapts the laser focal position to the material type and thickness. The machine’s software independently adjusts to the focus parameters given in the technology table, eliminating any set-up effort. Also new is the slender cutting head with a 6 inch lens and new style clutch, designed for flexibility and process safety.

When combined with the LoadMaster Tube, featuring a tube magazine that can hold up to 8000 pounds of raw material, the TruLaser Tube 7000 can be fully automated. Its pivoting feed support holds a number of tubes and keeps them at constant orientation. The loading unit performs a feasibility test to compare the tube geometry with the parts program. Special profiles and small batches can be fed by a conveyor section. The LoadMaster Tube measures the pipe length and adjusts the position of the grippers accordingly.
