Laser Processing Machines

FT-150 NEO

Laser processing machine for high-speed cutting of pipe material
  • The productivity of pipe mass production operation is automated and significantly improved
  • U-axis control is adopted to provide uninterrupted high-speed and high-precision cutting
  • With optional rotary tool unit and drill support, drilling and tapping can be consolidated into one machine
  • Equipped with SmoothTUBE, an innovative CNC system designed for 3D laser technology

High quality and high productivity cutting of various pipes

U-axis control for high-speed and high-precision cutting

The FT-150 NEO is capable of processing round pipes with a maximum diameter of Φ152 mm and square pipes with a size of 125 mm per side. The standard 3D laser head also allows bevel cutting. A variety of materials, including mild steel, stainless, copper, brass, and aluminum, can be cut at high speed and precision.

Process integration to improve productivity in mass production

Rotary Tool Unit for drilling and tapping

Tools suitable for drilling, tapping, thermal drilling and chamfering can be attached. After pre-drilling with a laser, tapping and chamfering can be performed from the same direction, resulting in less phase shift and tool damage.

Reduce in-process time of pipe workpieces

By integrating the conventional pipe process, the FT-150 NEO reduces inter-process transfers, waiting time, setup time, etc., and completes all processing on a single machine. It shortens production lead time.

Automation functions and machine design to achieve full automation of pipe mass production and high-productivity

With various automation functions such as calibration settings and nozzle cleaning, the productivity of pipe mass production operation is significantly improved.

Large-capacity bundle loader for continuous operation

Materials are automatically loaded into a high-capacity bundle loader, and after laser processing, the cut parts are automatically unloaded.

Structural steel and sudden interruption workpieces can be loaded manually.

An extensive range of optional functions are available to ensure high accuracy and value cutting

ft150f_option_001
Work Center Location/Inclination Compensation

Measures the OD of pipe material and automatically compensates for material distortion to ensure high precision positioning.

ft150f_option_002
Visual Seam Locator

The weld seam of pipe material can be detected on the machine to determine the required radial position for cutting.

Internal Spatter Guard

The spatter guard protects the internal workpiece surface from spatters and burns, thereby preserving the quality of the workpiece.

Designed for high efficiency

The loading and unloading of material is performed at the front of the machine to minimize operator movement and floor space.

Equipped with a CNC system for pipe processing that significantly improves operability

SmoothTUBE, a new CNC system for pipe processing

The SmoothTUBE CNC system has a new graphical user interface specialized for tube processing, which ensures easier operation. It comes with a dual touch panel with large 21.5" screen. Condition setting of scheduled operation can be changed and reprocessing can be done on the CNC system easily. The screen configuration that assists operators throughout the production process on one screen and system linkage support efficient pipe processing.

Machine monitor and graphic menu

The Machine Monitor provides an overview of the machine with 3D images and important status updates, including the door's open / closed status. The Graphic Menu supports operators by providing easy access to the torch and machine operation menu. The machine's processing status are also displayed.

Completely supports the processing status

The lower monitor assists the operator throughout the production process. The entire process can be monitored efficiently using the newly designed interface. The operator can modify the condition settings of scheduled operations and even reprocess selected parts with ease on the CNC system.
