SF-SlicerHD Heavy-Duty Fiber Laser Tube Cutting Machine for Large Pipes & Structural Profiles

Heavy-duty tube and profile processing Overview SF-SlicerHD Heavy-Duty Fiber Laser Tube Cutting Machine for Large Pipes & Structural Profiles SF-SlicerHD is a large-format fiber laser cutting system engineered for heavy pipes and structural profiles. It is available in Three-Chuck and Four-Chuck configurations. Its heavy-duty chuck architecture, high-capacity material handling and profile-aware cutting control support demanding fabrication workflows from loading through finished-part discharge. Available with 6 kW or 12 kW laser power, the machine handles round, square and rectangular tube together with H/I beams, channel sections and angle steel. Straight cutting and optional bevel cutting let fabricators complete more preparation work in a single setup. Three-Chuck Configuration Available for projects requiring a three-chuck layout. Submit the profile type, dimensions, length, weight and loading requirements so the appropriate configuration can be confirmed. Ask About Three-Chuck → Four-Chuck Configuration A heavy-duty four-chuck layout designed for stable support and accurate positioning of large, heavy workpieces. Ask About Four-Chuck → Best For Heavy machinery, shipbuilding, structural construction and infrastructure fabrication. Energy-pipeline and agricultural-equipment manufacturers processing large tube and profiles. Long-material production requiring up to 12 m loading and 12 m unloading capability. Cutting applications that benefit from automated feeding, weld-seam recognition and profile alignment. Core Advantages Four-chuck heavy-duty platform: designed for stable support and accurate positioning of large, heavy workpieces. Wide profile capability: processes round tube, square tube, rectangular tube, H/I beams, channel sections, equal angles and unequal angles. Up to 12 m material flow: configurable loading and unloading for long profiles and production-scale work. Vision-assisted processing: supports cut-off detection, collision avoidance and weld-seam identification for selecting the preferred cutting side. Efficient small-feature cutting: a compact Y-axis improves speed on dense small contours and supports flying-cut workflows. Profile-aware control: alignment and offset compensation help improve cutting accuracy while reducing front-end scrap and manual setup time. Loading, Support and Part Handling The heavy-duty loading system is engineered for multiple tube and profile shapes. Programmable automatic feeding works with floating supports to stabilize the material during processing. Configurable semi-automatic loading for 4–12 m material. Finished parts up to 500 mm can tilt into the scrap trolley. Finished parts from approximately 1.35 m can discharge through the chain unloading system. Pneumatic support and tilting assist workpiece cut-off and unloading. Forklift-compatible scrap trolley simplifies removal of short parts and remnants. Straight and Bevel Cutting SF-SlicerHD supports straight cutting as standard and can be configured for bevel cutting. The bevel module supports multiple bevel forms, angles up to ±45°, and combined cut-and-bevel processing for weld preparation.
