The Tube 2026 trade show in Düsseldorf (13-17 April) will see Trumpf present its most productive and flexible laser tube cutting machine to date. Delivering 9 kW of laser power and using nitrogen as its cutting gas, the new TruLaser Tube 7000 processes tubes from 12 to 290 mm in diameter, supported by an extended outer circle.

For 8 mm thick mild steel, Trumpf reports productivity increases of up to 30% and feed rate gains of up to 150%, enabling higher throughput and lower cost per part. The machine also delivers greater flexibility, accommodating larger diameters and increased wall thicknesses.

“Flexibility and productivity are paramount in today’s laser tube processing,” says Trumpfproduct manager Lucas Stix. “Users demand maximum speed and precision for small diameters, while also requiring the ability to process large tubes with thick walls. The TruLaser Tube 7000 brings these capabilities together in a single system.”

With an outer circle of 290 mm, the machine can process square tubes up to 203.2 x 203.2 mm, round tubes up to 273 mm in diameter and rectangular profiles up to 254 mm. Smaller tubes from 12 mm are cut quickly and precisely.

Notably, Trumpf has enhanced its ScanLine function with the new Quality Pilot, which automatically determines when and how often material measurements are required. This reduces unnecessary cycles and saves time. In addition, ObserveLine Comfort checks whether scrap has been fully removed, improving process reliability and reducing manual rework, while ObserveLine Edge enables efficient processing of pre-punched tubes.

Integrated digital services, including condition monitoring, provide real-time analysis and early fault detection. With automated loading via the LoadMaster Tube and seamless smart factory integration, the TruLaser Tube 7000 supports efficient, future-ready production.
