Overview

The TRUMPF TruLaser Tube 5000 is a fiber laser tube cutting machine for sections up to 152 mm (5.98 in) in diameter and 25 kg/m, sold with one of two lasers: 4 kW or 6 kW, as the TruFiber 4001 or TruFiber 6001. Maximum tube length is listed at 6,500 mm (256 in).

Which laser to order comes down to wall thickness. With the TruFiber 4001 the table gives 10 mm / 10 mm for mild steel and 6 mm / 6 mm for stainless steel and aluminum. The TruFiber 6001 takes mild steel to 14 mm / 10 mm and the other two materials to 10 mm / 8 mm. Every entry is a pair, and the table does not label what distinguishes the first value from the second, so have that clarified before you rely on the higher number. The separate wall-thickness rows, 10 mm for mild steel and 6 mm for stainless, line up with the TruFiber 4001 figures.

Profile capacity is given as 152 mm / 170 mm, and a square-section row lists 180 x 180 mm. The 25 kg/m limit then decides which of those sections can actually run: a large square tube with a thick wall passes the weight limit long before it reaches the cutting capacity, so calculate kilograms per metre for every heavy section on your parts list.

Within the range, the TruLaser Tube 3000 is limited to 18.5 kg/m with lasers of 2 kW or 3 kW, so this machine takes heavier stock and thicker walls at the same 152 mm standard diameter. The TruLaser Tube 7000 goes further, to 40 kg/m.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Which lasers are available on the TruLaser Tube 5000?

Two fiber lasers: the TruFiber 4001 at 4 kW and the TruFiber 6001 at 6 kW. The larger laser raises the listed mild steel thickness from 10 mm / 10 mm to 14 mm / 10 mm, and stainless steel and aluminum from 6 mm / 6 mm to 10 mm / 8 mm.

02 What wall thickness can the TruLaser Tube 5000 cut?

With the TruFiber 4001: 10 mm / 10 mm in mild steel and 6 mm / 6 mm in stainless steel and aluminum. With the TruFiber 6001: 14 mm / 10 mm in mild steel and 10 mm / 8 mm in stainless steel and aluminum. The table does not say what the two values in each pair stand for.

03 What tube and profile sizes does it handle?

Maximum tube diameter is 152 mm (5.98 in), profile size is listed as 152 mm / 170 mm, and a square dimension of 180 x 180 mm is given. Tube length is up to 6,500 mm (256 in) and material weight up to 25 kg/m.

04 How does it compare with the TruLaser Tube 3000?

The TruLaser Tube 3000 carries 18.5 kg/m and has lasers of 2 kW or 3 kW, with mild steel listed at 8 mm (0.31 in). This machine carries 25 kg/m and offers 4 kW or 6 kW, with the same 152 mm standard tube diameter.
