As most global industries are demanding the faster and more precise cutting, tube laser cutting machines are developing into an essential tool for businesses in automobile, aerospace, manufacturing and metal fabrication. They can offer advantages over traditional modes, incl. higher precision, faster speed and less waste.
I. What is Tube Laser Cutting Machine?
The tube laser cutting machine is used to cut metal tubes or pipes at high precision. Unlike traditional modes which involve mechanical cutting tools such as band saws or plasma, laser cutting usually uses laser beams to melt or vaporize the metal tube, resulting in smooth and clean edges with minimal deformation. Moreover, tube laser cutting is advantageous for cutting complex and intricate workpieces difficult to be done by using other conventional methods.
II. SENFENG’s Potential Top-Selling Tube Laser Cutting Machines in 2025
After years of development, SENFENG can provide numerous different models for global customers. That is, there are single-chuck, two-chuck, three-chuck, four-chuck, heavy-duty tube, tube beveling, H beam cutting machines available now. These machines show our technical achievements and cater to a wide range of industries.
- PLUS Series High-speed High-precision Tube Laser Cutting Machine
This is a new product after technical upgrades. It can cut small tubes at high speed and precision, with ultra-short or even 0 tailing. In addition, it takes into account of ±45° bevel cutting (SF6012PLUS) to get ready for laser welding as needed.
* Special for small tubes
Its laser generator adopts laser energy precise-control technology to make cutting incision smooth and avoid edge & angle burning, overburning, burr or thermal deformation while dealing with small tubes.
* Pioneer ultra-fast tube cutting technology
With this innovative craft, it has superior dynamic performance and is roughly 70% faster than other models. Max acceleration: 1.5G, max rotating speed of chucks: 260r/min, max no-load speed: 150m/min.
* Cut with 0 tailing
We adopt double pneumatic chucks, therein, front chuck is designed as square, clamping a wider range of square and rectangular tubes. The unique offset cutting is available and tubes are cut with ultra-short or even 0 tailing.
T series come with two chucks to cut tubes with ultra-short tailing. For small tube, there is no overburning or adhering slag. As for large tube, the cutting is at fast speed.
* Intelligent bus-based CNC system
It, based on EtherCAT protocol, is easy to operate and get started by clicking a button. Users may import files of different formats in batch. With cutting craft library, users are entitled to export and store the built-in cutting crafts for invoking anytime.
* Two self-centering chucks
The two chucks are featured by high clamping precision and rotating speed (180r/min). Pneumatic grippers are used for clamping tubes of different shapes, sizes and weights (up to 500kg) firmly, with no slip. Due to the unique front claw, ultra-short tailing can come true.
* Two kinds of tube supports
Follow-up support can move with rotating tube to support tubes stably at any time. The vari-pitch support is anti-abrasive and can adapt to tubes of different diameters and shapes, in order to minimize cutting deviation arising from tube swing up and down.
As a hi-end machine, ST series are suitable for cutting heavy and long tubes, and have a large body that requires big enough workshop. We tend to recommend it to heavy industries requiring large-sized equipment like engineering, heavy and construction machinery.
* Superior cutting ability
With 3 chucks, the machine witnesses larger clamping force and makes heavy and long tube cutting precision higher, such as, large and heavy tubes (max tube size: 500mm, max weight of tube: 2000kg) with 0 tailing or ±45° bevel (optional).
* Innovative dynamic 7-axis tube pulling function
We offer intelligent bus-based CNC system that supports this 7-axis tube pulling function. To be specific, three chucks can move at will, which may correct the tube deformation to a certain degree, just for cutting long tubes at high precision.
* Side-attached machine body
Its triangular structure is generally accompanied by high stability and large loading capacity. The body is made of three segments. Each has hoist rings to facilitate transport at less costs. It will keep indeformable and unbroken at high temperature even after long-time use because of going through 7 standard processes like high annealing and aging treatment.
- SF1500CH Series Large H Beam Laser Cutting Machine
SF1500CH is designed to cut complex structural steels at high precision. With double semi-enclosed work stations, it fits to cut ultra-long H beam and needs relatively large workshop as a heavy and large machine.
* Cut large H beam
It has high cutting ability of profiles. H beam size (L*W): 26000*3000mm, thickness ≤40mm, also cut T-shaped steel, channel steel and I beam, with marking, web piercing, overweld hole cutting, beveling, cutoff and sheet cutting.
* Straight cutting/beveling
It laser cutting head can realize both straight cutting and ±45°beveling. The QR code offers technical navigation to lower users’ dependence on technicians.
* Custom-made platforms
To cut various workpieces, we offer 3 kinds of optional accessories. Cutting is done on one side and loading & unloading are on the other side. In this way, work efficiency will be greatly enhanced.
III. Major Features of Best-Selling Tube Laser Cutting Machines
As we look to 2025, the most popular tube laser cutting machines will feature some of the key features that are expected to define the best-selling models:
- High cutting speed
Our potential best-selling machines in 2025 will offer faster cutting speed without compromising quality. This is achieved by using advanced laser generator, improved beam delivery system and so on.
- Advanced CNC control and software integration
In 2025, major manufacturers will focus on intelligent and even cloud-based software that enable remote monitoring and real-time analysis. This will prevent costly downtime by providing operators with instant feedback on machine performance and potential hazards.
- Multi-axis cutting ability
To improve cutting ability, they will feature multi-axis cutting, so that they can manipulate the tube in multiple directions, cut into complex geometries, such as bevels and holes at various angles, as well as curved or non-linear profiles.
- Automatic loading & unloading devices
These devices can improve productivity by reducing manual labor, minimize downtime and allow for continuous operation. The automatic handling helps reduce human error, which is crucial for high-volume production.
IV. Conclusion
In 2025, the demands for tube laser cutting machines will continue to rise, driven by the need for faster and more precise cutting modes in industries ranging from automobile and aerospace to construction and manufacturing. The best-selling machines will be those that combine automatic loading & unloading devices, multi-axis cutting ability and high cutting speed.
