The Tubex 550 is a heavy-duty 3D laser system engineered for the most demanding tubular and profile processing environments. Capable of handling profiles up to 550mm, it utilises a 6-axis linkage head to perform complex 3D cuts, including beveling for weld prep. It is designed to transform traditional, labour-intensive pipe shops into high-output automated environments.
Key Technical Specifications:
3D Capability: Full 6-axis tilt-and-rotate head for complex bevels and copes.
Profile Range: Massive 550mm capacity for round pipe, RHS, SHS, and H-beams.
Laser Source: High-power Fibre Laser (Standard 6kW to 12kW+ options).
Material Handling: Automated heavy-duty chucking and conveyor systems for sections up to 12m.
Software: Seamless integration with Tekla Structures and SolidWorks via intelligent nesting algorithms.
Accuracy: Precision rack-and-pinion drive ensuring sub-millimetre tolerances on long-length sections.
Top 5 "Tubex 550" Advantages
Surgical 3D Beveling: The 6-axis head doesn't just cut; it bevels. You get perfect weld preparations (V, Y, and K-cuts) on thick-wall pipe, eliminating the grinding bay bottleneck.
Unmatched Profile Versatility: Beyond round pipes, the Tubex 550 masters SHS, RHS, and open profiles. It can even process H-beams, effectively acting as a multi-purpose profile processing centre.
95% Rework Reduction: By utilising digital models instead of manual layout, the Tubex 550 ensures every cut is correct the first time, significantly reducing on-site rework.
Solve the Skills Gap: As skilled boilermakers become harder to find, the Tubex 550 allows you to scale capacity without increasing your headcount.
Smart Factory Integration: Fully Industry 4.0 ready. Connect your detailing office to the shop floor for real-time production tracking and digital traceability.
