DWG NO. TTL-002 · TUBE LASER CUTTING
Three machines. One bottleneck, solved.
Round, square, rectangular, and open profiles up to 10″ OD, wall thickness to ½″, with automated loading on every machine. Complex features — holes, slots, copes, bevels — cut in one setup, so parts arrive weld-ready with no secondary ops.
TABLE 1 — COMBINED FLEET CAPACITY
| Machine | Max round OD | Max square | Max rectangle | Max wall |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trumpf TruLaser Tube 7000 | 10″ (254 mm) | 7″ (178 mm) | 8″×6″ (203×152 mm) | ½″ (12.7 mm) |
| Bodor K230 | 9″ (230 mm) | 9″ (230 mm) | 9″ (230 mm) | 0.39″ (10 mm) |
| Bystronic Tubestar 130 | 5.12″ (130 mm) | 5.12″ (130 mm) | 5.12″ (130 mm) | 0.375″ (9.5 mm) |

SEC. 01 — THE FLEET
FIG. 1 — TRUMPF TRULASER TUBE 7000
Trumpf TruLaser Tube 7000
The heavy hitter — up to 10″ round, ½″ wall
Our flagship. Round tube to 10″ (254 mm), square to 7″ (178 mm), rectangle to 8″×6″ (203×152 mm), and wall thickness to ½″ — the structural sizes data center and infrastructure work actually calls for. Bevel cutting for weld prep, automated loading and unloading for high-volume runs, and the tight repeatability that eliminates secondary machining.
Bodor K230
The workhorse — up to 9″ round or square
Big capacity across every profile: round, square, and rectangular all the way to 9″ (230 mm) with wall thickness to 0.39″ (10 mm). Automated loading keeps it running through production volumes, and it overlaps the Trumpf’s range closely enough that large-section jobs never wait on a single machine.
FIG. 2 — BODOR K230
FIG. 3 — BYSTRONIC TUBESTAR 130
Bystronic Tubestar 130
The sprinter — up to 5″, built for speed
Purpose-built for the small and mid-size profiles that make up the bulk of production work — round, square, and rectangular to 5.12″ (130 mm), wall to 0.375″. Fast setups and automated material handling make it the machine that keeps high-quantity runs moving while the big machines handle heavy sections.
SEC. 02 — CUT CAPABILITIES
If it’s tube, we can probably cut it.
A tube laser replaces the saw, the drill press, the notcher, the cope machine, and most of the fixture table. Every feature below is cut in a single automated cycle — which is why parts fit the first time and weld time drops.
FIG. 4 — COPES & SADDLE JOINTS
Fishmouth cuts that fit the first time
Tube ends contoured to wrap perfectly around the mating tube — any diameter, any intersection angle. Joints drop into place with tight, even weld gaps. No grinding, no hand-fitting, no gap-chasing.
FIG. 5 — MITERS & ANGLE CUTS
Frames that square up on their own
Miters, compound angles, and contoured end cuts held to laser tolerance. Frame corners, braces, and gussets meet dead-on, so assemblies come off the fixture square the first time.
FIG. 6 — TAB & SLOT JOINERY
Parts that locate themselves
Tabs cut on one part, slots on its mate — assemblies self-fixture and lock in geometry before the first tack. Fixture time collapses and weld accuracy is built into the parts themselves.
FIG. 7 — HOLES, SLOTS & CUTOUTS
Every feature in one cycle
Bolt patterns, mounting holes, obround slots, wire pass-throughs, drainage, and access cutouts — cut in the same cycle as the part. The drill press never touches it.
FIG. 8 — WELD-PREP BEVELS
Edges that arrive weld-ready
Beveled edge prep cut directly on the Trumpf — thick-wall joints show up ready for full-penetration welds, with no grinding station between the laser and the weld booth.
FIG. 9 — PROFILES & OPEN SECTIONS
Round, square, rect, oval, open
Round, square, and rectangular tube, oval and flat-sided oval, plus open profiles like angle and channel — from small-bore production tube to 10″ structural sections.
