Technical buying data

Tube laser capacity planning

Tube laser capacity is set by chuck configuration far more than by laser power, so the table below is organised by machine class — and it includes the figure that decides whether you buy a dedicated tube machine at all: remnant per stick.

Scroll table →

Tube laser cutting capacity by machine class. Configuration figures are Hytek Tools'; industry range, shape capability and tolerance figures are All Metals Fabrication's; the remnant comparison is ADH Machine Tool's. Diameter figures describe round tube diameter or the equivalent across-flats dimension for square and rectangular section. Machine-specific capacity always comes from that machine's own spec sheet.
Machine class Profile size capacity Raw stock length (infeed) Finished part length (outfeed) Best suited to
2-chuck tube laser 4.5–13.5 in dia(114–343 mm) 20 / 24 / 30 ft(6.1 / 7.3 / 9.1 m) ≈ 10 ft (3.0 m) Finished parts up to about 10 ft. The volume configuration for most job shops.
3-chuck tube laser Up to 20 in dia(508 mm) Raw stock to 40 ft(12.2 m) 20 / 30 / 40 ft(6.1 / 9.1 / 12.2 m) Finished parts over 10 ft, structural work, and long raw stock. This is the reason to step up a class.
Bundle loader(option, either class) Round, square and rectangular to 9 in dia(229 mm) Per host machine Per host machine Unattended or lights-out running. Note the loader's 9 in ceiling is below both machine classes' maximum diameter — large section still gets loaded by hand.
Hybrid rotary axis on a flat sheet laser Limited by the rotary and the sheet machine's frame Under 10 ft (3.0 m) Under 10 ft (3.0 m) Occasional tube work only. ADH publishes the deciding figure: a hybrid rotary on a sheet laser wastes 2–3 ft (0.61–0.91 m) of remnant per stick, against 2–3 in (51–76 mm) on a dedicated tube machine. On 20 ft stock that is roughly 10–15% of every length scrapped versus about 1%.
Industry rangeacross all classes 2.00–18.00 in max(50.8–457.2 mm)
most shops run 1.00–8.00 in (25.4–203.2 mm)		 To 20–24 ft(6.1–7.3 m) Typical tube laser tolerance ±0.010 in (±0.25 mm), against ±0.005 in (±0.13 mm) on a flat sheet laser — tube is a looser process by roughly a factor of two, and part design should allow for it.

Shapes a tube laser will cut (All Metals Fabrication): round tube, square tube, rectangular tube and oval tube, plus angle, channel, beams and custom extrusions. The machine is not limited to closed section — open structural shapes are within scope, which is what makes a tube laser a weldment-prep machine rather than just a tube cutter.
The remnant number is the buying case. If you run tube in volume, the 2–3 ft per stick that a hybrid rotary throws away is usually a bigger annual number than the price difference between the two machine architectures. Work it out on your own stick count before deciding.

Common questions

Can a fiber laser cut tube, or do I need a dedicated tube laser?

A rotary axis on a flat-sheet fiber laser will cut tube, but it is not equivalent to a dedicated tube laser. A rotary attachment handles occasional round and square tube within the bed length and is normally loaded one piece at a time by hand. A dedicated tube laser adds a chuck system, bundle loading, automatic length and seam detection, and software that unwraps miters, copes and hole patterns around the profile — that is where the throughput and the part accuracy come from. If tube is under roughly 10 percent of your work the rotary axis is usually the right call; if tube is a product line, it is not.

Why is my tube laser leaving slag on square tube?

Slag on square tube is normally a corner and focus problem rather than a power problem. The machine decelerates through each corner while the assist gas pressure and focus position stay set for the straight run, so heat piles into the corner and the melt is not blown clear. Shops on Practical Machinist working through slag on 1.5 x 0.125 inch square steel go after nozzle condition, standoff, focus position and corner speed before touching power. Check the nozzle first — Bodor's published replacement triggers are a deformed, chipped, clogged or burned tip, slag and angled cuts that parameter changes will not fix, sparks coming from the nozzle, and any pierce collision.
