How to choose a tube laser cutting machine?
Choosing the right tube laser cutting machine is essential for achieving stable cutting quality, high productivity, and long-term cost efficiency. The ideal machine depends on your tube size, material, processing requirements, and production volume. Below is a practical guide to help you select the most suitable solution for your application.
What kind of tubes can be cut by a laser tube cutter?
- Tube shapes：round tubes, square tubes, rectangular tubes, elliptical/oval tubes, triangular tubes, trapezoidal tubes, hexagonal tubes, concave tubes, waist-type tubes, irregular/special-shaped tubes.
- Profile and structural shapes: L-shaped profiles (angle steel), c-shaped profiles (channel steel), u-shaped profiles, h-shaped profiles (h-beams), t-shaped profiles, i-beams (universal beams), pfc channels (parallel flange channels), rsa sections (rolled steel angles), wide flange beams.
What kind of metals can a laser tube cutter cut?
Tube diameter, length & weight capacity
Start by confirming the maximum tube diameter, length, and weight you need to process.
The chuck size determines the maximum clamping diameter, while the machine bed and feeding system define the supported tube length—typically ranging from 6 to 12 meters.
For heavy or long tubes, choose a machine equipped with follow-up or intelligent support systems to prevent sagging and vibration during rotation and feeding, ensuring consistent cutting accuracy.
Chuck design and clamping system
The chuck structure directly affects cutting accuracy and stability:
- Two-chuck machines are suitable for standard tube cutting tasks
- Three-chuck machines provide better support for long or heavy tubes and reduce tail material waste
- Automatic centering chucks improve efficiency and reduce setup time
For high-precision and batch production, a multi-chuck configuration is strongly recommended.
Processing requirements & optional functions
Beyond straight cutting, many applications require additional operations such as:
- Hole cutting and notching
- Bevel cutting for welding preparation
- Threading or tapping
If bevel cuts are needed, select a machine with a bevel cutting head (commonly up to ±45°).
For threaded holes or high-volume hole processing, optional drilling or tapping modules can significantly improve efficiency.
Automation and production efficiency
For manufacturers aiming to increase output and reduce labor costs, automation is a key factor:
- Automatic tube loading and unloading systems
- Servo-driven follow-up supports for long tubes
- Intelligent nesting and cutting software
An automated tube laser cutting machine can significantly improve productivity and consistency in mass production environments.
