TruLaser Tube 7000 Cuts Thick-Wall Tube at High Feed Rates
Cutting thick-walled tubes at high feed rates while still handling small-diameter profiles on the same machine pushes the limits of most laser tube-cutting systems. The TruLaser Tube 7000 is a fiber laser tube-cutting machine with 9 kW of laser power, designed to process a wide range of tube sizes and wall thicknesses, using nitrogen as its primary cutting gas. In 0.37- in thick mild steel, productivity increases by up to 30% and feed rates increase by up to 150% compared to previous models.
The machine accommodates an extended outer circle diameter of 11.4 in, supporting square tubes up to 8 x 8 in, round tubes up to 10.75 in diameter, and rectangular tubes up to 10 x 6 in.
At the other end of the range, it also cuts round tubes as small as 0.50 in diameter. Loading lengths are available in multiple configurations up to a maximum of 41 ft (12.5 m).
Three intelligent assistance systems support part quality.
ScanLine uses light section sensors to measure tube tolerances and compensate for material deviations caused by out-of-shape or inconsistent raw stock.
The Quality Pilot expands on ScanLine by allowing the machine to independently determine whether measurements are needed and how frequently to perform them based on the quality of each individual tube, reducing unnecessary measurement cycles.
ObserveLine Comfort moves the cutting head over the cut contour after processing and uses a low-wattage laser pulse to verify that scrap has fully cleared the tube interior, reducing manual reworking.
A third function, ObserveLine Edge, enables processing of pre-punched tubes and profiles: the machine uses the laser beam to identify existing contours and automatically adjusts the part program accordingly.
The LoadMaster Tube loading device is included as standard and features a tilt-and-lift station for fully automatic connection to tube storage systems, supporting automatic unloading integration.
A Condition Monitoring digital service analyzes machine data in real time and provides early warnings when components show wear or values deviate from target ranges. The machine supports integration into smart factory environments via compatible software and interfaces.
