Tube Form Solutions: Advanced Automation Cells for Tube Forming
Automation cells let one operator run more parts with less handling. We build cells around SOCO benders, lasers and saws, and around collaborative robots, adding loading, unloading, inspection, conveyors and fixtures, so parts move from raw tube to finished component with fewer touches.

SOCO Automation Cells
Complete SOCO production cells that link loading, processing, finishing, measuring and stacking, with centralized controls and SOCO IRMS remote monitoring.
Tube Laser Cells
Automatic loading (M6 rack or MB6 bundle loader), alignment, fiber laser cutting, then deburring or chamfering, length measuring and stacking in one line.
- Built around the SLT-80, SLT-102 or SLT-152 fiber tube lasers
- Inline BDB-70 deburring or chamfering
Tube Bending Cells
6-axis robots, dedicated loaders and unloaders, CNC benders, and optional punching and sawing, all managed from central controls.
- Example: 2 benders, 4 robots and 2 unloaders
- Load, bend, punch and saw in one cell
4-Tube Cutting Cell (SA-85NCE-MULTI)
