Sheet & Tube Integrated Laser Cutting Machine

— a device that can solve the all-around solution for tube and sheet cutting

1.Core advantages
(1) Multifunctional integration, dual-purpose machine
• Seamless switching of tube + sheet cutting: Integrated design allows quick switching of processing modes without changing equipment.
• Wide range of applicable materials: It can cut round tubes, square tubes, rectangular tubes etc. and sheet metal.

(2) Super cost-effective
• Save equipment investment: 30%-50% lower than the cost of purchasing a tube laser cutting machine + sheet laser cutting machine separately.
• Reduce floor space: The integrated design saves 40% of plant area, especially suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

(3) Intelligent automation upgrade
• Automatic material identification: Read the tube/sheet parameters through the visual system, etc., and automatically match the cutting process (such as gas type, power).
• Zero manual intervention: Some models support automatic loading + sorting (optional robotic arm) to achieve 24-hour continuous production.

2.Core functions
(1) Precision tube cutting
• Special-shaped hole processing: square holes and waist-shaped holes can be cut on the tube wall with an accuracy of ±0.1mm.
• No tail cutting: The optimization algorithm realizes end-to-end continuous cutting of tubes, and the scrap rate is less than 5%.

(2) Efficient flat sheet cutting
• Large-area coverage: standard 1.5m×3m to 2m×6m workbench, supporting whole sheet processing.
• High-speed perforation: Explosive perforation technology developed for thick sheets, 12mm carbon steel perforation time <1 second.

3.Intelligent software system
• Bochu/FSCUT system: pre-set tube-sheet mixed layout module, automatically optimize material utilization (such as flat sheet surplus for short tube cutting).

• 3D simulation verification: virtual simulation before cutting to avoid collision or overtravel risks.
