Laser Cutting Machine

Tube& Plate Laser Cutting Machine

A tube plate laser cutting machine combines sheet cutting and tube cutting capability in one system. It is attractive for shops that need both processes but cannot justify two separate machines at the beginning.

Main Features:

  1. Integrated tube-and-plate cutting makes switching convenient.
  2. It can not only cut flat plates, but also meet users' needs for round tube cutting, square tube cutting, and hole processing on formed box structures.
  3. It can cut oblique end faces at the ends of round tubes; it can cut the intersecting-line ends of branch tubes connected with a circular main tube.
  4. It can cut square holes, slot holes, and round holes on round tubes; it can perform steel tube cutoff.
  5. It can cut various shapes on square tube surfaces; it can cut steel plates of different specifications.
  6. It can open holes and cut on formed box structures; it can cut multiple intersecting-line holes for round tubes of different directions and diameters on the main tube.

Detailed Description

Configuration Details

Tube and plate laser cutting machine mechanical bed

Mechanical Bed

The mechanical bed uses a reinforced welded structure for both plate cutting and tube cutting operation. A hollow internal layout with reinforced sections improves structural strength, heat resistance, and vibration control during high-speed movement.

The bed can be treated by high-temperature annealing, high-speed shot blasting, and stress-relief processing to reduce internal stress and prevent long-term deformation. This helps maintain stable cutting accuracy for plate work, pipe work, and combined production tasks.

Tube and plate laser cutting machine beam

Beam

The beam is designed to combine high rigidity, lightweight movement, and stable dynamic performance. Finite element analysis can be used to optimize the structure for fast acceleration and accurate positioning.

A strong beam structure helps reduce vibration during high-speed cutting and supports consistent cutting quality across the full working area. Heat treatment improves rigidity and long-term stability, helping the beam resist deformation during extended use.

Tube and plate laser cutting machine laser source

Laser Source

The fiber laser source provides stable cutting energy for sheet metal and tube processing. Different laser power levels can be selected according to plate thickness, tube wall thickness, material type, and production speed requirements.

High-quality fiber laser sources offer stable beam quality, high electro-optical conversion efficiency, compact structure, and convenient maintenance. A reliable laser source improves piercing performance, cutting speed, and long-term production stability.

Tube and plate laser cutting machine cutting head

Cutting Head

The auto-focusing cutting head adjusts focus position according to material thickness and cutting process requirements. This reduces manual setup time and improves cutting quality for both flat sheet cutting and tube cutting.

Anti-collision protection helps protect the cutting head during high-speed operation. Stable focus control improves piercing, kerf quality, slag control, and cutting consistency across different materials.

Tube and plate laser cutting machine pneumatic chuck

Pneumatic Chuck

The pneumatic chuck supports automatic tube clamping and centering, reducing manual adjustment during tube cutting. Strong clamping force helps prevent slipping and supports accurate cutting of round, square, and rectangular tubes.

Compared with basic manual clamping, pneumatic clamping improves loading efficiency and positioning stability. Chuck size can be selected according to tube diameter, wall thickness, and production requirements.

Tube and plate laser cutting machine control system

Control System

The control system manages plate cutting paths, tube cutting programs, nesting data, piercing parameters, gas control, and motion coordination. It allows the machine to switch between flat sheet cutting and pipe cutting tasks more efficiently.

Professional fiber laser cutting software supports power-based speed control, process databases, and separate speed settings for different cutting paths. A stable control system reduces debugging time and improves production consistency.

Tube and plate laser cutting machine electrical system

Electrical System

The electrical system integrates the CNC controller, servo drives, power supply modules, relays, circuit protection components, signal terminals, and cabinet cooling devices in a structured layout. A clean electrical cabinet design helps reduce interference, improve heat dissipation, and make daily inspection or maintenance more efficient.

For a fiber laser cutting machine, stable electrical control is directly related to cutting path accuracy, servo response, laser output coordination, gas control, safety interlock, and continuous production reliability. Proper wiring, reliable grounding, and protected electrical components help the machine maintain stable performance during high-speed cutting and long working shifts.

Tube and plate laser cutting machine water chiller

Water Chiller

The water chiller controls the operating temperature of the laser source and optical components. Stable cooling helps maintain laser output and protects the cutting system during long production runs.

Protection functions such as over-temperature alarm, flow protection, and water-level monitoring improve equipment safety. The chiller should be matched with laser power, workshop temperature, and operating intensity.

Tube and plate laser cutting machine remote controller

Remote Controller

The handheld remote controller allows the operator to control key laser cutting machine movements and auxiliary functions from a convenient working position. Common functions can include axis jogging, edge finding, return operation, frame walking, laser emission confirmation, speed adjustment, and auxiliary gas or light control depending on the final machine configuration.

This remote control improves setup efficiency during plate loading, nozzle alignment, edge finding, and test cutting. It helps the operator stay close to the cutting area while keeping machine movement under direct control, making daily operation more flexible, safer, and easier to manage.
