Dreistern: Fast and energy efficient laser-technology at Tube 2008
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 manufacturer 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.
