Partnership
in the world of pipes
transfluid® and TRUMPF have joined forces to optimize your tube manufacturing process.
The partnership between TRUMPF and transfluid® enables highly flexible combinations between laser tube cutting systems and tube bending technology as well as fully automated tube production concepts:
As one of the market and technology leaders in machine tools and laser systems, TRUMPF offers a comprehensive range in the field of laser tube processing for both cutting and 3D post-processing of bent or formed tubes.
As a globally sought-after partner for the manufacture of tube bending machines and tube processing machines, transfluid Maschinenbau GmbH attaches great importance to guaranteeing customers the best possible added value.
Both companies are united by a strong drive for innovation, with the customer and customer needs taking center stage. For this reason, transfluid and TRUMPF jointly offer solutions for the complete tube processing chain, from laser cutting to bending and further processing.
On request as stand-alone machine solutions with corresponding interfaces or as fully automatic production cells.
Cutting the tubes with the TruLaser Tube:
1. Highly dynamic and highly flexible cutting process
Tubes and profiles with diameters of up to 254 mm and wall thicknesses of up to 10 mm can be cut, e.g. for structural steel. Further processing such as holes, miter cuts, etc. possible.
2. Setup-free cutting process
The clamping technology enables a quick change between materials and cross-sections without retooling.
3. Integrated weld seam detection and alignment
This ensures a controlled seam position even in the subsequent process.
4. Labeling option
Marking and labeling can be carried out during the laser cutting process. The individualized tubes can thus be tracked in the subsequent production process.
The right systemfor every requirement
5. Loading and unloading options
Round tubes, profiles, square or rectangular tubes can be fed into the machining processes using various systems and fed to the downstream processes.
6. Flexible production
Tubes and profiles that do not need to be bent can also be cut and processed (e.g. for welded constructions, frame constructions, innovative tube constructions)
7. Comprehensive software
Perfectly coordinated software for cutting quantity optimization (nesting) through to complete production planning tools.
Further processing through the transfluid® product portfolio
1. LOADING
Manual or fully automatic loading of the tubes, direct transfer from the laser tube cutting machine is also possible.
2. ALIGNMENT
Alignment of the pipes based on the lasered processing (e.g. hole detection).
3. Calling up the process parameters
Read out and process the component labeling.
4. CONVERSIONS
Unlimited variety of shapes is realized with the highest precision.
5. BIEF PROCESS
Highly efficient CNC bending technology for small and large bending tasks.
6. EXHALE
Collaring or forming of T-pieces using previously made laser cuts, e.g. with the transfluid® collaring machine t form AM-854.
7. PUNCHES
Punching on the bending machine as a supplement if holes are too close to the bend area.
8. MATERIAL VARIANTS
transfluid® machines can also be equipped for bending profiles, oval tubes and square material.
9. SOFTWARE
Database for comparing material data so that the first component can already be manufactured with a precise fit.
Online interfaces for data exchange between the tube laser system and the other production systems (bending, molds, etc.).
11. NEEDS-BASED CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS
Customer/product-oriented customization options. We design the layout to suit your requirements and integrate all the desired processing and handling options.
Your advantages at a glance: Complete process chain in tube processing
The seamless integration of TRUMPF laser tube cutting machines into transfluid® production cells or production lines can achieve enormous competitive advantages.
1. DIGITALLY NETWORKED
The hardware of both manufacturers is digitally networked and their interaction makes the overall process more transparent, more flexible and, above all, more economical.
2. AUTOMATIC PRODUCTION
Can be fully automated as part of a complete tube processing cell.
3. VERSATILITY
The flexibility of laser tube processing offers unprecedented possibilities for component designers in all industries. Complex designs can be cut into tubes that are not possible with conventional cutting methods.
4. POST-PROCESSING
Extensive possibilities for post-processing bent or shaped tubes with flexible 3D laser tube cutting systems such as the TruLaser Cell 5030 or TruLaser Cell 8030.
5. PROFITABILITY
Time and cost savings in production by reducing work steps such as sawing, drilling and deburring; the automatic connection to the bending cell eliminates manual work steps and reduces the susceptibility to errors.
