Tube Laser Cutting
As a leading supplier in the metal industry, Contour is your partner for professional tube laser cutting. Whether you are looking for complete end products with integrated laser-cut tube components or just individual parts: we always deliver custom work with guaranteed quality.
What Is Tube Laser Cutting?
Tube laser cutting is an advanced metalworking technique in which metal tubes and profiles are cut with a powerful laser beam with extreme precision. This allows you to create complex shapes, angled cuts, and notches that are not feasible with traditional sawing or drilling methods, or would require many more operations. Thanks to the high-tech TruLaser Tube 3000 from Trumpf, we guarantee sharp, burr-free edges and consistent quality.
Advantages of Tube Laser Cutting
Exceptional precision – up to a tenth of a millimeter
One work step instead of sawing, drilling, and milling: faster and cheaper
Flexible use for complex geometries and varying batches
Fast turnaround times thanks to automatic loading and processing
Clean operations without laser grain, spatter, or burrs

Our Trumpf Tube Laser Machine
At Contour, we have the advanced Trumpf TruLaser Tube 3000 with:
Spatter Guard module for splash-free, clean insides of the cut tube.
Automatic chain conveyor for safe loading of tubes up to 6.5 m.
Scratch-free machining process thanks to smart gripping and transport systems.
Cutting round tubes Ø 15–152 mm and rectangular profiles 15×15–120×120 mm.
Maximum workpiece length of 3 m
Max. material thicknesses: steel 8 mm, stainless steel 6 mm, aluminum 6 mm, copper/brass 4 mm
The Production Process
The following steps are carried out to arrive at a beautiful end product:
Loading the material
The automatic chain conveyor places the tube (max. 6.5 m) in the chuck.
Applying anti-spatter spray
The spatter guard module can spray the inside of the tube with an anti-spatter spray. During laser cutting of a tube, molten metal splashes are released. This spray ensures that the splashes do not adhere to the material of the tube. That provides a better and cleaner end result.
Clamping and positioning
The supplied tube is positioned with self-centering clamps. Sagging is prevented by automatically positioning rollers. This ensures optimal stability during cutting.
Laser processing
The 3 kW fiber laser cuts straight and angled edges (up to 45°) according to your CAD drawing.
Optional post-processing
In addition to the tube laser machine, various deburring machines and a column drilling machine are installed. This way, the operator of the tube laser can immediately post-process the cut tubes in one go if needed, without having products “waiting in line” for another department. This saves costs and shortens lead times.
Quality control
An employee checks whether the cutting is as desired and measures the product to ensure that all tolerances are met.
