Automated Unloading with TRUMPF
By
Metal Center News Staff on
Mar 7, 2025 TRUMPF Inc. has introduced a new automated unloading system for its laser tube cutting machines. Laser tube cutting machines equipped with the automated unloading interface with longitudinal belt conveyor can automatically convey cut tubes to an automation system, which then sorts the parts or delivers them to the next production step for further processing.
The solution, which is designed to prevent errors and reduce the operator’s workload, is available for TRUMPF’s 5000 and 7000 series TruLaser Tube laser cutting machines.
Compared with many other technologies, laser tube cutting requires significant operator involvement. TruLaser Tube machines are highly productive, which means a production worker needs to be available at regular intervals to remove and sort the cut tubes. With skilled staff in short supply, it can be hard to find someone to carry out this task. In addition, the cut tubes tend to be large and unwieldy, so workers are often reluctant to take on this job. TRUMPF’s automated unloading system helps solve this dilemma.
