Sheet and Tube Cutting | ULFT Series

Sheet and Tube Laser Cutting

Bring sheet and tube cutting into one system, with the working format and handling options your production needs.

Technical specifications

ULFT family specifications

ULFT combines an open sheet-cutting table with a tube station. Tube configurations offer a 220 or 350 mm chuck and nominal stock lengths of 6, 9 or 12 m. Select the sheet format and laser power separately, then match the chuck, supports and loading space to your tube sections.

Dual-process inputs

Plan your sheet and tube workload

A dual-use machine has one active cutting mode at a time; define both material paths before selecting the shared platform.

Sheet work

Provide format, material, thickness, load, gas and edge result.

Tube work

Define profile, dimensions, wall, length, straightness, weight and remnant target.

Workload and changeover

Set sheet-to-tube ratio, product mix, nesting, mode changes, supports and handling.

Software and safety

Confirm chuck package, process software, loading, extraction, guarding and data interfaces.

Product systems

Inside the sheet-and-tube cutting system

ULFT combines sheet and tube routes on a shared platform. The machine operates one cutting mode at a time, so changeover and the balance of sheet and tube jobs matter.

Shared platform and changeover

Shared platform

Accommodate sheet and tube work

The sheet table and tube module share the cutting platform.

Use the engineering proposal to establish the exact configuration rather than relying only on the family summary.

Changeover

Switch the active material route

Changing mode changes the coordinates, supports and operating sequence.

Review how programs and stock are changed between sheet and tube jobs.

Tube gripping and support

Tube gripping

Index the profile

The chuck grips and indexes the profile for the cutting sequence.

Select chuck geometry for the intended sections and review collision limits and usable tail length.

Tube support

Maintain the profile presentation

Supports maintain the tube's presentation to the head as it rotates.

Match support to section shape, length and weight, including access and remnant removal.

Cutting package for both material paths

Cutting head used on a ULFT sheet-and-tube laser cutting machine

Set the process for each job

The shared source and head serve the active sheet or tube mode. Focus, gas, cooling and extraction must suit the material and process in that mode.

Review sheet and tube requirements separately when selecting power and head functions. Validate each intended material with an appropriate cut sample.

Programs and handling interfaces

Programs

Prepare the active cutting route

The control software coordinates the selected sheet or tube program.

Define the required program transfer. MES and remote functions are separate configuration choices.

Handling interfaces

Connect stock and output routes

The handling plan defines how stock reaches the table or chuck and how parts leave.

Specify loaders, chuck-layout choices and the required equipment interfaces for the configured system.

Sheet and tube trials

Laser-cut flat metal samples with star-shaped outlines and circular holes

Sheet trial

Evaluate the sheet workflow

Use a representative sheet part to test setup, programming, gas and cut quality.

Agree the sheet drawing and inspection criteria, including loading and part removal.

Tube trial

Evaluate the profile workflow

Use a representative tube profile to test the configured gripping, support and cutting route.

Agree separate inspection criteria for the tube job and include changeover and remnant handling.

Family selection

ULFT family and configuration options

Confirm sheet format, tube capacity and handling for the selected ULFT configuration.

Published family data

The ULFT system combines configured sheet format, power, chuck, tube length, motion, precision, voltage and cooling.

Configured equipment

Sheet/tube loading, supports, enclosure, monitoring, extraction and data integration are conditional.

Acceptance checks

Confirm sheet and tube envelopes, chuck and support, process sample, remnant target, utilities and safety.

Before start-up

Installation and commissioning

Prepare utilities, lifting and the installation area, then coordinate start-up and handover.
