The double-chuck zero-tail-stock laser tube cutting machine represents a major technological innovation in modern metal tube processing. The coordinated movement of dual chucks maximizes material utilization while enabling high-efficiency and high-precision machining. Its core technical features are listed below:
Zero Tail Stock Cutting Technology
This machine adopts intelligent dual-chuck synchronization technology. The front chuck is designed as a composite double-acting chuck. When cutting short residual tubes, the front chuck actively moves backward, and the rear chuck stretches out the tube material. To achieve zero-tail-stock cutting, the composite front chuck switches to the jaw clamping mode, while the rear chuck loosens and yields, realizing waste-free end machining with a material utilization rate of over 99%.
This technology completely eliminates tube end waste caused by insufficient residual length in conventional tube cutting machines, effectively reducing overall production costs. It is especially suitable for processing short workpieces with tube diameters below 120 mm.
Equipped with high-dynamic servo motors, the machine reaches an acceleration of 2.3G, boosting processing speed by 20% compared with traditional equipment. For example, the processing time for a single φ50 mm carbon steel tube is shortened from 45 seconds to 36 seconds.
Segmented feeding and zoned cutting technologies optimize the cutting accuracy for small tubes and the operational stability for long tubes. The machine supports bevel cutting for special-shaped tubes and is equipped with an intelligent anti-collision function for safe and stable long-term operation.
