Harco Metal Products continues to lead the way with its latest acquisition: the “TruLaser Tube 5000.” This state-of-the-art tube laser specializes in processing Stainless, Aluminum and Carbon tube shapes. Adopting “Laser Technology” allows Harco Metal Products to provide our customers with the highest quality tube processing delivered On Time.

TruLaser Tube 5000

The “TruLaser Tube 5000” is the next generation of machines designed for fully automated processing of tubes and profiles with maximum flexibility. Adding complex contours, notches and cut-outs to light thin walled or larger heavier walled squares, rounds, rectangles, ovals and specialty tube shapes, emphasizes the many strengths of the “TruLaser Tube 5000.” The 4 axis technology of the “TruLaser Tube 5000” eliminates the need for multiple machine tools for traditional drilling, punching, milling, sawing, and the always time-consuming deburring process.

With the “TruLaser Tube 5000”, all components work together harmoniously. Finished parts are removed by a gentle brush table that also functions as an accessible finished parts buffer. A chute transports small parts up to 12 inches long from the work area. Larger parts can be removed directly from the removal station, or they can be fed into a container. Cutting capacity includes Aluminum, Stainless, and Carbon alloys up to 3/8" thick.

Engineering

3D Solid Model CAD system allows Tube Service to help customers design parts around “TruLaser Tube 5000” capabilities; redesign multi-part welded assemblies into singular tubular parts. CAM software with part nesting automatically lays out parts for effective use of raw material.

TruLaser Sample Parts

Flexibility is the key to this machine. As shown in the sample parts, tube profile and cut feature combinations are limitless. The machine’s capabilities open the door for more creative part design in tubing.

A laser beam can cut any tube contour no matter how complex. A laser’s strength lies in its ability to cut without touching the material. The contours are smooth and parts are assembly ready without refinishing work. If that isn’t enough, the laser cuts contours and long tubes in one work step. Tube construction is possible because the laser simplifies production and reduces steps. Positioning aids make part assemblies easier while programming tools prevent errors. The TruLaser Tube’s ability to produce precise interlocking connectors significantly reduces welding costs. Compared to conventional processes such as sawing, marking, drilling, deburring or punching, production costs are much lower with lasers. TRULASER SAMPLE PARTS Flexibility is the key to this machine.
