Trumpf TruLaser 1030 Fiber vs Trumpf TruLaser Tube 7000 Fiber
Trumpf vs Trumpf · CNC Laser Cutting
Summary
The Trumpf TruLaser 1030 Fiber cuts flat sheet metal, and the Trumpf TruLaser Tube 7000 Fiber cuts round tube and structural sections. They serve different jobs, and Trumpf publishes few comparable figures for this pair: the table holds only maximum material thickness.
On those rows the sheet machine is rated for thicker material from the same source. With the TruFiber 6001 the TruLaser 1030 Fiber lists 25 mm (0.98 in) in mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum, against 14 mm / 10 mm in mild steel and 10 mm / 8 mm in stainless steel and aluminum on the TruLaser Tube 7000 Fiber. With the TruFiber 9001 it lists 30 mm (1.18 in) in mild steel and 40 mm (1.57 in) in stainless steel, against 14 mm / 10 mm and 12.5 mm / 8 mm.

| Max Aluminum Thickness | 20 / 25 / 30 / 30 mm (0.79 / 0.98 / 1.18 / 1.18 in) with TruFiber 4000 / 6001 / 9001 / 12001 | 10 mm / 8 mm (TruFiber 6001), 12.5 mm / 8 mm (TruFiber 9001) |
Advantages
Trumpf TruLaser 1030 Fiber
- Thicker mild steel from the same source: 25 mm (0.98 in) with the TruFiber 6001 against 14 mm / 10 mm
- Stainless steel up to 40 mm (1.57 in) with the TruFiber 9001 against 12.5 mm / 8 mm
- Aluminum up to 30 mm (1.18 in) with the TruFiber 9001 against 12.5 mm / 8 mm
Trumpf TruLaser Tube 7000 Fiber
- Built for round tube and heavy structural sections rather than flat sheet
- Takes long stock lengths for tube and profile work
Verdict
Choose by the shape of the material, not by the thickness figures. The Trumpf TruLaser 1030 Fiber suits shops cutting flat sheet, where it reaches 25 mm (0.98 in) in mild steel with the TruFiber 6001 and 40 mm (1.57 in) in stainless steel with the TruFiber 9001. The Trumpf TruLaser Tube 7000 Fiber suits shops cutting round tube and structural sections, listed at 14 mm / 10 mm in mild steel. The three thickness rows are all that is published in comparable form, so the decision rests on sheet or tube.
