6000W-20KW Fiber Laser Metal Cutting Machine X/Y Axis Round Square Tube

Fully-automatic Loading Reduces Heavy Tube Handling Risks: The integrated auto-loading system eliminates manual lifting of heavy tubes (e.g., 12.5m-long Φ580mm round tubes, which weigh hundreds of kilograms), reducing workplace injury risks and avoiding alignment errors caused by manual positioning. It feeds tubes into the 3-chuck assembly with ±2mm pre-alignment accuracy—laying the foundation for the machine’s ±0.03mm cutting precision and cutting rework rates by 50% vs. manual loading.​

Horizontal Lathe Enhances Long-tube Stability During Auto-feeding: The horizontally-mounted lathe frame provides linear, low-friction support for tubes during fully-automatic feeding, preventing mid-span sagging (a common issue with vertical lathes for 11.5-12.5m tubes). This stable horizontal path ensures the auto-loading system feeds tubes evenly into the 3-chucks, maintaining consistent clamping force across the tube’s length—critical for avoiding vibration during high-power (20KW) cutting of 20mm+ thick-walled tubes.​

Auto-loading Versatility Across Tube Types/Sizes: The fully-automatic loading mechanism automatically adjusts to tube dimensions (Φ15-580mm round; 15×15-580×580mm square) without manual fixture changes. When switching from small Φ15mm round tubes to large 580×580mm square tubes, the system reconfigures feeding jaws in 2-3 minutes—vs. 15-20 minutes for manual adjustment—enabling flexible batch processing of mixed tube types and boosting overall productivity by 35%.​

Horizontal + Auto-loading Optimizes Continuous Production: The horizontal lathe’s layout aligns with standard industrial conveyor lines, allowing the fully-automatic loading system to integrate seamlessly with upstream tube storage and downstream cutting collection. This creates a continuous workflow: tubes are auto-fed from storage, cut with precision, and auto-ejected to collection—reducing downtime between batches by 40% and making the machine suitable for 24/7 heavy-duty production in pipeline or wind tower manufacturing.
