Our laser tube cutting technologies！

 Flexible, high-end solutions due to the five-axis machine concept

The recipe for success of our tube lasers is the unbelievable manoeuvrability of the laser cutting head, which is perfectly attuned to the challenging demands of machining metal profiles. 

1. Axis / X-axis / Tube feed motion

The first axis is realised by the feed motion of the material in the clamping chuck. The chuck can move on the feed device with breathtaking speed, and precision in the order of tenths of millimetres.

Axis / A-axis / Rotation

The rotation of the tube in the clamping chuck is the second axis. The tube can be rotated 360° about its own axis.

2. Axis / Y-axis / Lateral movement

The third axis is located on the laser cutting head and moves it back and forth with a lateral movement.

3. Axis / Z-axis / Height control

The fourth axis is the height control of the tube laser cutting head. Ultra-sensitive sensors detect the geometric shapes and adjust the height of the cutting head together with the cutting speed to the tube feed rate.

4. Axis / 45° / Diagonal cut function

The manufacturers have created an additional, fifth axis with the tube laser cutting head, which is able to pivot by up to 45°. Thus it is even possible to achieve the complex diagonal cuts which have been almost impossible in high-quality metal profiles to date.

Diagonal cutting – one function that changes everything

Our machines' ability to pivot their cutting head in an additional, fifth axis, even up to 45°, represents the solution to one of the greatest problems in modern profile machining. When the laser beam always meets the tube being machined at precisely 90°, this results in an elliptical cutting edge (see Figure 3). Now the option to pivot the tube laser cutting head, together with the feed axis, makes it possible to achieve a fully diagonal cut.

The versatility of the tube laser cutting systems can be easily demonstrated based on the variety of metal profiles they are able to machine. Where until recently only standard round and square tubes could be cut, now every contour imaginable made from all common and special profiles can be cut.
