Longxin Laser’s Fifth-Generation LX-K9-5 Machine Outperforms Previous Model in Real-World Speed Test
Longxin Laser recently conducted a real-world cutting speed comparison between its newly upgraded LX-K9-5 High-Speed Laser Pipe Cutting Machine and the previous fourth-generation model. The test focused on arc-shaped hole punching on round tubes — a common and critical process in metal pipe fabrication.
Test Parameters:
-
Pipe Diameter: 35 mm
-
Wall Thickness: 0.8 mm
-
Cutting Process: Saddle cut at the tube end + 4 circular holes
-
Quantity: 6 pipes
Results:
-
Fifth-Generation K9:
⏱️ Completed in 20.56 seconds -
Fourth-Generation K9:
⏱️ Completed in 24.52 seconds
The new generation machine cut the same number of tubes approximately 16% faster, and when projected over continuous production cycles, this equates to a 20% year-on-year increase in overall capacity.
This comparison highlights the ongoing evolution of Longxin’s pipe cutting solutions — faster, more precise, and built for high-volume production environments. As global demand for efficient metal processing grows, Longxin continues to push the limits of speed, automation, and intelligent manufacturing.
