Laser cutting

TUBEMASTER

For tube cutting and welding

– Thermally stabilized welded base frame.

– Specifically designed for 3-4-axis laser cutting of tubes.

– Loading workpieces from stacks, positioning and cutting of round tubes with diameter up to 110 mm (4.3”) and square tubes up to 80x80 mm (3.1x3.1”). Standard lengths up to 7 000 mm (273”) (optionally up to 13 000 mm (507”)).

– Capability to process various tube profiles: square, round, oval, rectangle etc.

– Cutting of round tubes with diameter 20-110 mm, (0.75-4.3”) wall thickness 1–5 mm (0.04-0.2”).

– Tube stack diameter up to 600 mm (23”), (3.5 t) (7,700 lbs)

– Cutting of square tubes from 20x20 mm (0.75x0.75”) to 80x80 mm (3.1x3.1”) and wall thickness 1–5 mm (0.04-0.2”).

– 5 lifting units with belts.

– Pneumatic tube lifting system.

– Tube-storage magazine.

– All the axes are driven by Siemens AC digital servo drives via pre-loaded ballscrews except the tube track, which is driven by rack-and-pinion gear with helical teeth

This type of laser has following specific features:

– Very compact and low maintenance requirements.

– Extremely high laser beam quality.

– No gas heat exchanger, no turbine required; pump starts only once every 72 hours.

– Low optical losses.

– Low service requirements: no moving parts, uncoated copper resonator optics, diamond window as the only transmissive optic.

– No external laser gas installation.

– Very low laser gas consumption ( 0.1 nl/h, gas bottle change: once a year )–

Due to very high beam quality, this laser offers higher (by10-15%) cutting speeds vs. conventional fast flow lasers (Fanuc, TRUMPF TLF ).

– The maintenance costs are much lower than those of conventional CO2 lasers.

– The entire optical path is pressurized to prevent entry of gases that would contaminate mechanical and optical components. The optical components placed along the path of the beam are cooled to protect them against any excessive heating.

– 1-mirror beam deflection and direction system. The laser beam interacts only with 2 optical components (1mirror and 1 lens).

– The machine is supplied complete with the cutting head assembly and removable 5” and 7.5” lens cartridges requiring no further adjustment.

– Fumes arising during material processing are removed via special exhaust channels; the vacuum-type filter installation is included.

– The machine is equipped with a steady rest suitable for supporting long-length pipes with diameter up to 110mm (4.3”).

– Possible welding operations by use of a special type laser head.

– Standard machine configuration includes automatic loading system. As an option, the machine can be equipped with unloading and part sorting system.
