TUBE LASER CUTTING
Tube Laser Cutting Services
Trumpf TruLaser 7000, Tube Laser Cutting Machine
From the equipment you use at the gym to agricultural machinery and everyday products in your home, metal tubes and structural profiles are an essential part of countless applications. Advanced laser tube cutting technology makes it possible to produce complex, precise components efficiently while opening the door to innovative designs.
Hafendorfer Machine has more than 30 years of experience utilizing laser technology. Our TRUMPF TruLaser Tube 7000 Fiber provides the flexibility and precision needed to efficiently handle everything from short runs to high-volume production quantities.
CNC laser tube cutting also allows us to incorporate holes, slots, notches, and other features directly into the tube or profile, helping reduce secondary operations such as deburring, welding, and assembly. This can simplify manufacturing, improve consistency, and reduce overall production costs.
Whether you need a handful of parts or repeat production, Hafendorfer Machine has the technology, experience, and capabilities to transform your tube and profile designs into high-quality, finished components.
Laser Tube Cutting
Our tube laser cutting machine can process tubes (rectangular, square, round or oval cross-section), pipe, angle iron, C-Channel, flat bar and some I-Beam profiles. It is ideal for cutting thin-or-thick walled tubes as well as those that incorporate complex contours and cutouts.

Laser Tube Cutting Benefits
The advancements in laser cutting allow you to create new designs that are not possible to create using conventional methods.
- Efficiency: Additional efficiency features make laser cutting more cost effective and reliable than other methods. The use of laser cutting reduces the number of downstream manufacturing steps by simplifying welding setup and operations. Positioning aids facilitate component assembly to simplify the process of assembly and prevent errors.
- Money and Time: Research has shown laser tube cutting shaves off up to 49 percent of the time required by traditional methods and decreases expenses by up to 30 percent in comparison to a conventionally welded part. How is this possible? Simple. Tube laser cutting uses a single operation. The unmatched quality of tube laser cutting provides cut edges that eliminates rework and reduces process steps. One step creates perforations and complex contours, desired lengths, and eliminates steps such as storage, parts handling and tool changes.
- Design: With tube laser cutting, the possibilities are only limited to your designs. With traditional methods, many designs are too expensive or impractical to create as mass volume. Tube laser cutting technology simplifies production and reduces costs in order to open the options of manufacturing.

Tube Laser Cutting Machine
Trumpf TruLaser Tube 7000 Fiber
This is our brand new flagship TruLaser Tube 7000. It was presented at the Tube Trade Fair, held in Düsseldorf. This high-end machine is one-of-a-kind with all the bells and whistles. Self-centering clamping jaws, FocusLine regulation, and state of the art software combine to produce consistent high quality for every batch.
- An automatic clamping force adjuster for increased process reliability
- Permanent monitoring of the clamping jaw’s position
- An automated push-through feeder ensures long contours are cut without collisions
- Flexible unloading station to sort finished components
- Tube storage to hold up to four tons of raw materials loaded automatically.
- A swivel-mounted laser cutting head to allow accurate chamfering and diagonal cutting with precise quality at angles of up to 45 degrees.
- Fully automatic machine adjustment stepped rollers provide both support and lateral guidance.
- Integrated with Flow drilling, tapping, and twist drilling
- Special profile camera to assist with orienting the parts during processing.
- Rapidcut, high feed rates for smaller contours and thinner material
This flexible high-end machine allows processing of a wide range of parts and gives access to new applications in the field of laser tube-cutting. Without any productivity loss, this machine is capable processing material up to 30 ft. long with a cutting range up to 250 mm (10 in.) in diameter, with wall thicknesses of up to 8 mm (0.3 in.).
Tube Laser Cutting Automation
The LoadMaster Tube enables automated production. The tube magazine can accommodate up to four metric tons of raw material. Before feeding the material into the processing unit, the loading system performs a plausibility check in which the machine software compares the geometry of the unprocessed tubes with the previously entered data, thus avoiding downtime due to operating errors. The LoadMaster Tube gripper system automatically adapts to the measured length of the tube. Individual tubes can be loaded manually, even if you have opted to install an automatic loading system. The transport tracks can be easily swiveled into place to feed single tubes into the machine.
