Fast and energy efficient professional laser-technology for composite tubes

Composite tubes combine both, the corrosion resistance properties of plastic tubes and the bursting pressure of metal pipes. System technology has evolved rapidly since shipment of the first line in 1984, especially due to the collaboration of Dreistern with the extruder manufacturing Maillefer.

Another milestone was the integration of the disc-laser, a new generation laser, supporting weld-speeds of up to 60 m/min. This Trumpf disc-laser equipped with a highly dynamic seam-tracking system, and combined with a refined tube forming process, are the guarantor for this success.

Another benefit, in spite of higher welding speeds, this new technology reduces energy consumption and operating costs tremendously.
