Tube inputs

Choose the chuck layout for your stock

Profile, cut geometry, stock handling and process data determine the right ULT route.

Profile and dimensions

Provide round, square or approved profiles, outside dimensions, wall, length, weight, straightness and surface condition.

Cut geometry

Define holes, slots, mitres, joints, bevels, open profiles, minimum feature and remnant target.

Handling

Record feeder, supports, chuck handoffs, unloading, collection and recovery.

Process and software

Confirm power, gas, samples, controller, tube nesting, compensation, chuck avoidance and data interfaces.

Machine in operation

Watch the ULT6024 6kW demonstration, then compare tube support, chuck access and cut geometry with your profiles and finished-part requirements.

Product systems

Inside the tube-cutting system

ULT selection starts with the tube and the chuck arrangement. Stock support, coordinated motion, cutting software and handling modules must fit the same profile range.

Two- and three-chuck layouts

Two-chuck layout

Review the two-chuck route

The selected two-chuck arrangement defines gripping, indexing and transfer for the tube.

Check its exact envelope, load and remnant limits against the stock shape, length and weight.

Three-chuck layout

Review the three-chuck route

In a three-chuck layout, the receiving chuck supports the workpiece as it passes the cutting head. For heavy sections or bevels, check where the chucks regrip, how the remaining length is supported, and whether the head clears the profile at the required angle. Use stock length and mass per metre to size the loading system.

Compare the exact machine data for the job. Chuck count, supplier and model are distinct configuration choices.

Stock support and coordinated motion

Stock support

Maintain the profile presentation

Supports maintain the tube's presentation as it advances and rotates.

Match support to profile length and weight, including foundation and installation access.

Cable carrier protecting the tube laser motion-system cables

Coordinated motion

Move the tube through the cut

The transmission and motion system advance and rotate the profile through the sequence.

Use the selected model for travel, rotation, speed and load. Include remnant handling in the layout.

Tube cutting and program control

Tube cutting

Coordinate head and profile motion

Linear, rotary and height axes coordinate the cutting head with the tube.

Check the intended shapes and features with the actual mechanics. Bevel cutting and advanced axes require the corresponding configuration.

Tube laser control console with cutting-program display

Program control

Prepare the cutting sequence

The supplied software manages the available nesting, compensation and chuck-avoidance functions.

Review the required program functions with the selected controller and machine architecture.

Feeding and unloading modules

Feeding

Present stock to the machine

Feeding is selected around stock length, weight and bundle condition.

Review pickup and support positions for the intended profiles and specify the feeding module.

Unloading

Collect the completed parts

Unloading is selected separately from feeding around finished-part length and collection needs.

Review output positions and define the unloading module's interface to the cutting machine.

Profile trial and cut inspection

Profile trial

Test the chosen architecture

A representative profile exercises gripping, alignment, rotation and the complete cut sequence.

Use the agreed material and process setup; include loading and remnant handling.

Cut inspection

Check the finished features

Inspect the profile features and finished dimensions against the drawing.

Agree the inspection criteria for the selected architecture without combining specifications from different layouts.

Model selection

Choose one complete ULT configuration

Use one exact two- or three-chuck model column for tube range, motion, payload and dimensions.

Model configuration structure

Use one exact model column for tube range, travel, precision, speed, acceleration, chuck rotation, payload and dimensions.

Configured equipment

Chuck package, bevel, supports, feeder, unloading, controller and software are project-dependent.

Acceptance checks

Confirm profile, wall, length, straightness, weight, remnant, handling, sample and safety.
