Laser Cutting

Tube and Pipe Laser Cutting

6 kW fiber tube laser for round, square, and rectangular tube up to 220 mm diameter and 6.2 m length, with full multi-axis profile cutting.

Tube and Pipe Laser Cutting — Nevatronix Laser

Tube laser cutting collapses what used to be a multi-station workflow — saw, drill, deburr, mitre — into a single setup. For frames, railings, structural sub-assemblies, and any tube-based part with more than two features, the cost-and-time math typically lands in tube laser’s favor by a wide margin.

What single-setup buys you

When the laser cuts every hole, slot, miter, and orientation mark in one pass, three downstream things change:

  1. Setup amortization disappears. A drilled-and-sawed tube part has 4–8 separate operation setups; the laser has one.
  2. Tolerance stacks reduce. Every hand-off introduces error. Laser-cut tubes hold position tolerance from feature to feature at ±0.1 mm or better, regardless of how complex the part is.
  3. Weld prep is built in. Saddle joints, bevels, and bevel-with-root-face arrive at the welder ready to clamp and run.

For frame assemblies bound for our sheet metal welding and finishing cells, this means a tube → weld → finish workflow with zero secondary machining.

Frequently asked questions

What's the maximum tube diameter you can laser cut?
220 mm outside diameter on round tube, and up to 200 × 200 mm on square or rectangular section. For larger profiles we partner with a sister facility — call to confirm geometry.
Can you cut weld-ready joint preparations directly on the tube?
Yes. Our 5-axis cell cuts compound miters, weld bevels, and saddle joints in the same setup as the through-holes and slots. The downstream welding cell receives parts that need zero pre-weld prep beyond cleaning.
What's the longest tube you can process?
6.2 m (244 in) standard on our 2-chuck auto-loader. For stock longer than the bed we coordinate with partner facilities on a per-program basis — call to discuss.
Do you offer mark-and-cut for part identification?
Yes. Laser-etched part numbers, lot codes, and orientation marks are cut in the same pass as the geometry. Standard practice is light-etch for traceability; deeper engraving available on request.
How is tube laser cutting more cost-effective than sawing plus drilling?
For any part with 2+ holes, slots, miters, or angled cuts, single-setup tube laser eliminates the saw-then-drill-then-deburr workflow — typically a 60–80% reduction in piece-part labor and 90%+ on setup cost amortized across the lot.
