Automated Tube Handling with transfluid tMotion & TRUMPF
The biggest delays in tube fabrication often happen between machines, not at them. Manual handoffs slow you down, reduce consistency, and make automation harder.
transfluid’s tMotion systems close that gap, automating part transfer, alignment, and staging between TRUMPF laser cutting and bending machines. And with Maintecx as your integration partner, you get one connected system built to move smarter, faster, and hands-free.
The transfluid tMotion platform enables modular automation that optimizes material flow across your tube production process. Key capabilities include:
Designing production cells tailored to your workflow
Integrating loading, alignment, and part marking systems
Incorporating optical quality checks and hole punching seamlessly
Enabling transfer lines that minimize cycle time and manual intervention
Whether in small setups or large-scale automation cells, this system streamlines transitions, increases throughput, and reduces handling errors.
Complete Tube Production Starts with
Seamless Motion
What Is transfluid tMotion?
transfluid tMotion is a highly modular automation framework designed to orchestrate the flow of tubes between cutting, bending, and finishing machines.
Key Features:
Custom-configured production cells tailored to your plant layout
Plug-and-produce readiness, supporting batch variability without delays
Seamless integration of loading/unloading systems, punching, camera-based inspection, and marking tools
Industry 4.0 compatibility, with data interfaces for diagnostics and performance monitoring
Fast cycle support, driven by fully automated handling for higher efficiency
How tMotion + TRUMPF Create a Unified Workflow
Enhance your tubing workflow with a turnkey automation flow:
Laser Cutting & Labeling: TRUMPF laser cutters precisely cut and label parts for traceability.
Automated Tube Transfer: tMotion systems manage loading and align components between machine steps.
Inspection & Handling: Integrated cameras and sensors verify tube orientation and quality.
Processing & Finishing: Processed parts move to bending or punching systems, with optimized accuracy.
Efficient Throughput: Automated transfer lines and conveyors reduce manual handling and accelerate production.
The entire workflow is centrally controlled, enabling smarter throughput planning, part tracking, and highly repeatable performance across all stages.
