Automatic orbital tube-cutting machine TruLaser Tube 5000

laserprogrammableCNC

Overview
The TruLaser Tube 5000 is a laser tube cutting machine for round and profiled tubes up to 180 mm. It uses solid-state TruFiber lasers (TruFiber 4001 / 6001) and modular automation to deliver short cycle times and flexible production from single parts to series runs.

Key benefits

• Short part times via RapidCut and high feed rates of the solid-state laser
• Open machine concept for easy loading, unloading and maintenance access
• Self-centring collet chuck enabling clamping across the full range without retooling
• Synchronized laser parameters and TRUMPF cutting data for consistent cut quality
• Bevel cutting option up to 45° for welded constructions
• Advanced sensor systems for reliable process control
• Integration of subsequent operations (e.g. tapping) to reduce downstream steps
• Optional outer circle extension for increased clearance and flexibility

Features and options

• RapidCut – highest dynamics and reduced part times, especially on thin materials
• ScanLine – light-section sensors to measure and compensate raw material tolerances
• Self-centring collet chuck with continuous sensor monitoring for high part precision
• Bevel cutting option – high-quality bevels up to 45°
• Technology package for tapping – integrates flow drilling, tapping and spiral drilling (up to eight tools in standard adapter)
• Spatter Guard – applies release agent during production to prevent slag adhesion inside tubes
• FocusLine – automatic focal position control adapting to material
• PierceLine – controls and monitors piercing for accurate, fast piercing
• X-Blast cutting package – optimized nozzle geometry to reduce cutting gas consumption and improve process reliability
• Magnetic coupling with bellows to protect the cutting head in collisions
• Dot Matrix Code – standardised 2D industry code marking
• Automation and interfaces: LoadMaster Tube, tube storage system, conveyor tables, unloading and sorting interfaces
• Touchpoint HMI, Programming Tube and MobileControl app for intuitive operation and remote monitoring; OPC UA connectivity supported

Applications

• Furniture production – precise tube and profile cutting for welded and framed products
• Shop fitting and retail fixtures – flexible runs from prototypes to series
• Agricultural machinery – processing of thick-walled tubes for durable components
• Fitness equipment – automated production of tubular components
• Mechanical and apparatus engineering – combining tube and sheet techniques to optimize constructions
