transfluid® – Now an Official KUKA System Partner Worldwide

transfluid® is one of the leading providers of automation solutions in tube processing. For more than 20 years, we have successfully integrated KUKA robots into our production cells — ensuring precise, efficient, and reliable automation.

After becoming an official KUKA System Partner in the USA last year, KUKA has now extended this partnership to Germany and the international market as of September. This recognition underscores our long-standing expertise and strengthens our position as a global automation specialist for tube processing.

What this means for you as our customer:

Seamlessly integrated robotic handling systems – KUKA robots handle sorting, feeding, or part transfer directly at our tube bending and forming systems. Together, transfluid and KUKA deliver perfectly coordinated automation for your manufacturing processes – from a single source.

Efficient robotic bending technology – our own focus:

We equip KUKA robots with a bending head developed and engineered by transfluid – turning the robot system itself into the centerpiece of production.

• Eight synchronized, fully electric axes for impressive flexibility during the tube bending process.
• Right- and left-hand bending directly after clamping – maximum freedom in geometry.
• Robotic bending cells (single or dual units) for long tubes, tube-hose combinations, or large batch production – without vibration or complex setup procedures.
• Direct bending of pre-processed components (e.g. with attached parts or end finishing) – enabling efficient automation even for complex assemblies.

Higher efficiency and process reliability: Thanks to intelligent communication between robot and machine, and our proprietary robotic bending technology, fully automated production cells are created – with optimized cycle times and high repeat accuracy.

Future-ready technology platform: Benefit from access to state-of-the-art robot software, simulation tools, and digital KUKA services – combined with our proven expertise in tube bending and forming technology.

Joint development strength: Two strong partners combine their experience – from prototyping to series production – to realize customized solutions for demanding industries such as automotive, aerospace, hydraulics, HVAC, shipbuilding, and furniture manufacturing.

Worldwide support: Whether commissioning, training, or maintenance – KUKA’s global service and training network, together with our own service department, ensures reliable support worldwide.

This close cooperation underlines our commitment to providing complete automation solutions for tube processing from a single source – from intelligent stand-alone systems to fully connected production cells.
