In modern metalworking, round tubes are widely used in industries such as mechanical manufacturing, building construction, and automotive components due to their uniform stress distribution, structural stability, and clean, simple appearance. However, traditional cutting and hole-drilling processes rely on machining or thermal cutting methods, which are limited in terms of machining accuracy and efficiency, making it difficult to meet the demands of complex structures and mass production. CNC machine tools and laser cutting machines have emerged in response to industry trends. Including round tube laser cutting machines has enabled the manufacturing industry to meet the requirements for precision, consistency, and automation in round tube processing. What is a tube laser cutting machine? Let’s take a closer look at the article below。
The round tube laser cutting machine relies on fiber laser technology, using chucks and a multi-axis CNC system to achieve stable, high-precision processing. During operation, the front and rear chucks automatically clamp and center the pipe. The system drives the pipe to rotate at high speeds while the cutting head moves along axial and radial paths for continuous cutting.
This method is a non-contact process. After focusing through a lens, the laser beam forms a high-energy density spot that rapidly melts or vaporizes the material. Auxiliary gas then blows the molten metal out of the kerf. Since there is no mechanical pressure during the rotation, the pipe remains free from deformation and maintains its structural integrity.
| Dimension | Key Specifications / Data | Description |
| Laser Power | 1200W | High-performance fiber laser with high electro-optical conversion efficiency and stable output. |
| Processing Range | Φ10mm – Φ120mm (Standard Pipe Diameter) | Suitable for various metal round pipe specifications across multiple industries. |
| Cutting Speed | 0 – 120 m/min | Rapid-response servo system maintains a production rhythm far exceeding traditional mechanical methods. |
| Positioning Accuracy | ±0.05 mm | Micro-laser focal spot (0.1-0.3mm) ensures vertical cuts and high consistency. |
| Applicable Materials | Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Zinc Alloy | Covers mainstream metal profiles; supports both oxidizing and non-oxidizing cutting processes. |
| Control System | CNC Multi-axis Linkage System | Automatic control of pipe rotation, feeding, and cutting paths with intuitive operation. |
| Clamping & Positioning | Pneumatic/Manual Chuck Combination | Ensures stable clamping and smooth rotation, effectively preventing pipe deformation during processing. |
| Warranty Period | 3 Years | Stable structural design with low maintenance frequency for long-term industrial production. |
The introduction of the round tube laser cutting machine integrates cutting, punching, and slotting into a single machine, completely changing metal pipe processing. Whether for high-strength alloys or thin-walled pipes, it maintains perfect roundness while delivering high quality.
Choosing Kempson means selecting a mature, durable processing solution for your production line. We offer practical industrial logic:
Kempson provides the right fit rather than just the most expensive option. Our goal is to help your workshop skip grinding steps, reduce waste, and meet tight deadlines. Selecting a Kempson round pipe laser cutter puts your pipe processing on the fast track.
This depends on the chuck specs. This model covers Φ10mm to Φ120mm, which are the most common industrial sizes. We can customize chucks for finer medical tubes or larger heavy-duty pipes.
The difference is huge. Saws only cut, and parts require manual deburring. This machine is a “one-stop” solution with speeds up to 120 m/min. Since parts are weld-ready, overall efficiency is 3 to 5 times higher.
Yes. Multi-axis linkage allows for precise bevel cuts at various angles, which is perfect for saddle cuts in trusses or bike frames where tight fit-ups are required.
No. Laser cutting is non-contact, so there is no physical pressure on the pipe wall. Our pneumatic chucks hold the tube firmly without crushing even thin-walled 1mm stainless steel pipes.
No. The system is user-friendly. Any worker with basic computer skills can learn it in a couple of days. It imports CAD drawings and handles the nesting and paths automatically.
Modern fiber laser technology handles this well. We use specific cutting heads and gas setups (like Nitrogen for stainless) and anti-reflection protection for aluminum to ensure no damage to the laser.
Our short-to-medium pipe models are very space-efficient. You just need a level floor and stable power. The machine includes dust extraction and cooling systems to keep the work area clean.
The laser itself is maintenance-free. Costs are mainly electricity and gas. Consumables like nozzles and lenses are inexpensive and easy to replace. With our 3-year warranty, you have no core maintenance costs in the early years.
