Tube laser cutting

Tube laser cutting cuts sections and tubes to length and puts holes, cut-outs and joining shapes into them in a single set-up.

The tube laser's cutting head cuts a profile clamped in the chuck, sparks flying, seen through the yellow safety window

How it works

The tube rotates and feeds through under the laser head, so the beam can work the section all the way round. Cuts, holes and fitting cut-outs are therefore made in one operation and from one reference.

Where it fits

That pays off most in frames and structures: because the fitting shapes are already in the section, a frame comes together more accurately and there is less aligning and measuring during welding.

What we cut with

Tube and section are cut on a TRUMPF TruLaser Tube 3000, which stands at our sister company Assink & Schipholt.

Which grades we work in tube and section

GradeMaterial no.Standard
S235JRH1.0039EN 10210-1

S235JRH and S355NH are hot finished hollow sections. E235 and E355 are welded circular tubes for mechanical engineering; S195T is tube to EN 10255.

Frequently asked questions

What is tube and section laser cut on?

We cut tube and section on a TRUMPF TruLaser Tube 3000, located at our sister company Assink & Schipholt. The tube rotates and advances under the laser head, so saw cuts, holes and fitting cut-outs are made in one operation and from one reference.

Which tube and section grades do you process?

S235JRH and S355NH, hot-finished hollow sections to EN 10210-1; E235 and E355, welded round tubes for mechanical engineering to EN 10296; and S195T to EN 10255. If your grade is not listed, please ask.

What does tube laser cutting bring to frames?

The fits are already in the section. A frame therefore comes together more accurately, with less aligning and measuring during welding. That pays off most in frames and structures made up of many section parts.
