Laser Processing Machines

FT-150 FIBER

High-speed fiber laser processing machine for pipe material
  • U-axis control provides high-speed, high-accuracy cutting
  • The productivity of pipe mass production operation is automated and significantly improved
  • Optional drilling and tapping can be performed by just one machine
  • Reduced running costs with energy-efficient fiber laser
  • New graphical user interface (GUI) of the CNC system greatly improves operability

High quality and high productivity cutting of various pipes

Cutting of a variety of sizes and materials. High-speed, high-accuracy cutting by U-axis control

The FT-150 FIBER is capable of processing round pipes with a maximum diameter of Φ5.98" and square pipes with a size of 4.92" per side. The laser head can be operated at high speed by U-axis and can cut materials such as mild steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, and aluminum with high speed and high-accuracy.

The productivity of pipe mass production operation is automated and significantly improved

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

Reduce in-process time of pipe processing

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.

Designed for high efficiency

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

Various optional functions for 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.

Thermal Drilling

Tapping on thin plates can be performed with the optional thermal drilling function.

ft150f_option_004
Internal Spatter Guard

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

Reduce running costs with fiber laser

The advanced technology of the fiber laser provides higher efficiency Since fiber laser processing machines do not require laser gas, they have low power consumption and are easy to maintain. 

SmoothTUBE, a new CNC system for pipe processing

New graphical user interface specialized for tube processing ensures easier operation. It comes with a dual touch panel with large 21.5" screen. The flow from preparation to processing is displayed on one screen. Condition setting of scheduled operation can be changed and reprocessing can be done on the CNC system easily. The system is optionally available.
