QH-GC3-H 3-Chuck Heavy Duty Lathe Tube Cutting Machine Horizontally-mounted Lathe Follow-up Support

Horizontally-mounted Follow-up Support Ensures Long-tube Precision: The dynamic follow-up support eliminates mid-span sagging of 11500-12500mm tubes by adjusting support points in real time—maintaining consistent tube coaxiality during cutting. This ensures ±0.03mm positioning accuracy is retained across the entire tube length (not just near chuck areas), reducing cut deviation by 70% compared to machines without follow-up support and avoiding costly rework for long-tube projects.​

Stable Clamping + Follow-up Combo for Large-diameter Tubes: For maximum-sized tubes (Φ580mm round/580×580mm square), the 3-chuck system provides end/fixed clamping, while the horizontally-mounted follow-up support adds mid-span reinforcement—preventing tube rotation or deformation under high-power (20KW) laser cutting. This dual-support design ensures thick-walled tube cuts (20mm+) remain smooth and dimensionally accurate, critical for pressure-bearing pipelines where cut quality impacts weld integrity.​

Versatile Compatibility with Minimal Adjustments: The follow-up support automatically adapts to tube lengths (11500-12500mm) and diameters (Φ15-580mm) without manual fixture changes—enabling seamless switching between round and square tubes, or between short and long batches. Paired with the 6000W-20KW laser power range, this versatility eliminates the need for multiple machines for different tube sizes, reducing setup time by 40% and boosting overall production efficiency.
