What is tube laser cutting? 

Tube laser cutting involves using lasers to cut contours, holes, recesses, slots and end profiles in tubes and profiles. Unlike 2D laser cutting in flat sheet metal, this involves working in 3D around a tube or profile, allowing you to create geometries that would otherwise require several separate operations. 

This gives you great freedom in design and a more predictable result in production. 

When is tube laser cutting most suitable? 

Tube laser cutting is a strong choice when you need to: 

Common applications include stands, frames, guards, machine frames, chassis and welded structures where fit and position are critical. 

Advantages in your design and installation 

Laser tube cutting is not just a cutting method. It affects the whole chain from design to finished product. 

Better fit for welding 

Customized end profiles and recesses make it easier to get the right angle, the right position and stable fixturing. The result is more consistent quality and less adjustment in the workshop. 

Fewer steps and less rework 

Cutting holes and recesses directly in the pipe reduces the need for drilling, sawing and machining in multiple fixtures. This saves time and reduces the risk of deviations. 

High repeatability in series 

When the design goes into production, repeatability is crucial. Laser tube cutting provides stable results that are easier to plan and quality assure. 

Quality that works in practice 

For your component to work in the final product, more than “just” geometry needs to be right. We work in a structured way: 

Dimensions and position 

The correct positioning of holes, recesses and cuts is crucial for assembly, welding and downstream processes. We help you define functional dimensions and tolerances where they make a difference. 

Edge quality and manageability 

Clean cuts and a process adapted to the material and dimension produce a part ready for the next step, such as welding, bending, assembly or surface treatment. 

Adaptation according to needs 

If the part requires additional operations, we can plan for additional machining, so you get a delivery that works directly in your production.
