Tube Laser Cutting

Put the Features in the Tube Before Welding

Tube laser cutting can eliminate a large amount of manual drilling, coping, notching and layout work. Holes and slots can be positioned from the CAD model, while end cuts and copes can be shaped for the adjoining tube or fabricated component.

For repeat assemblies, those built-in features can make fixtures simpler and fit-up more consistent. Protech can quote tube cutting by itself or use it as part of a complete welded assembly.

Good Applications for Tube Laser

  • Equipment frames and structural tubing assemblies
  • Holes and slots for bolts, pins or plug welds
  • Copes and notches for tube-to-tube fit-up
  • Mitered ends and repeatable end profiles
  • Tabs and alignment features for welding fixtures
  • Agricultural and construction equipment components
  • Prototype through repeat production weldments

Send the Geometry and Tube Details

STEP / STP

3D geometry is especially helpful when the tube part includes multiple faces, angled features or compound end cuts.

Tube Size & Wall

Include the tube profile, outside dimensions, wall thickness, material and quantity so the job can be reviewed accurately.

Complete Fabrication

If the cut tube becomes part of a weldment, Protech can also quote fitting, welding and related fabrication.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What size square tube can Protech laser cut?

Protech lists tube laser capability up to 8 × 8 inch square tube. Other shapes and sizes should be reviewed with the shop before quoting.

Can you cut holes and slots on multiple sides of a tube?

Tube laser processing is well suited to holes, slots and other features located around a tube profile. Send the STEP/STP geometry and tube specifications for review.

Can tube laser parts be welded into a complete assembly?

Yes. Tube laser cutting can be quoted together with welding, flat laser cutting, machining and custom fabrication.
