Hebei Juliang Technology Co., Ltd. is one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of side‑mounted laser tube cutter in China. Please feel free to buy CE approved machinery made in China here from our factory. All customized machines are with high quality and competitive price.

What This Machine Does

A tube cutter that positions the laser head on the side rather than overhead. The beam fires horizontally into the tube instead of vertically downward. This arrangement changes the dynamics of the cutting process. Tubes sit lower, with a lower center of gravity, so they rotate with less vibration. The side layout also allows the cutting head to reach closer to the tube end, reducing waste. For shops processing high volumes of tube, those small savings per piece add up quickly.

The frame uses heavy steel plate. We don't use thin-gauge material. The weight provides stability during operation. The welding process uses controlled procedures to minimize distortion. After welding, each frame undergoes stress-relief annealing. This removes internal stresses that would otherwise cause the frame to move over time.

The mounting surfaces are machined flat and coated. The coating prevents corrosion and pitting. Pitting would allow components to shift, affecting accuracy.

Bed Design

The bed sits lower than conventional designs, improving stability during rotation.

Chuck System

The chucks clamp and center tubes automatically. Consistent clamping force ensures consistent cuts.

Support System

A servo-driven follower supports long tubes, reducing sag and vibration.

End Cutting Capability

The front chuck retracts, allowing the cutting head to work close to the tube end.

Features

Heavy frame construction. The weight absorbs vibration, improving cut quality.

Accurate positioning. The servos hold position well.

Low operating costs. Fiber lasers have sealed optical paths. No mirrors to maintain.

Efficient power use. Fiber sources draw less power than CO₂ systems.

Stable drives. The motion system maintains position under load.

Quick installation. The machine ships mostly assembled.

Compact footprint. The side orientation needs less clearance.

Continuous operation. An autoloader keeps the machine running.

1. What makes this cutter different from a standard tube laser?
The side-mounted head allows the tube to sit lower, reducing vibration during rotation. It also enables the cutting head to reach closer to the tube end, reducing scrap. The design is more stable for long tubes.

2. How fast does it cut?
Cutting speed depends on material and thickness. For 3 mm carbon steel with oxygen, expect 6-8 m/min. For 5 mm stainless with nitrogen, expect 4.5-5 m/min. These are factory test speeds.

3. Can it cut aluminum?
Yes. Aluminum cuts well with nitrogen or compressed air assist. The machine handles aluminum tube up to the machine's capacity. The main consideration is gas selection for edge quality.

4. What training is included?
Remote training is included with the purchase. We provide video tutorials and live video support for initial setup. On-site training is available for an additional fee.

5. How long does installation take?
Installation typically takes 3-5 days. This includes leveling, electrical connection, software configuration, and optical alignment. Site preparation is your responsibility.

6. What's the warranty?
One year on the full machine. Two years on the laser source. Consumables are not covered. Damage from improper operation or electrical issues is excluded.

7. Can I test the machine before buying?
Yes. Send us tube samples and we'll cut them and return the finished parts. We charge a nominal fee, credited toward your purchase.

8. What's the typical delivery time?
Standard machines ship in 15-20 working days. Custom configurations take 25-30 working days. We'll confirm a delivery date before you order.

9. What's the machine footprint?
The machine requires about 11 meters in length and 3.5 meters in width, including clearance. We provide a layout drawing for your workshop.

10. How do I know if this machine is right for me?
If you process over 1,000 tubes per month and your material thickness is under 12 mm, the machine will likely pay for itself. If your volume is lower or thickness is higher, mechanical sawing or plasma may be more cost-effective.
