The EVER VIEW Economical Fiber Laser Tube Cutting Machine is designed for buyers who need reliable tube processing without unnecessary system complexity. The 3kW laser source provides a practical balance between cutting capability, operating cost, and application flexibility.
For reference, a properly configured 3kW system can typically cut carbon steel tube walls up to approximately 10–12 mm and stainless steel tube walls up to approximately 5–6 mm under suitable conditions. These figures are reference values rather than guaranteed limits. Actual results depend on tube profile, material grade, gas pressure, nozzle selection, cutting speed, edge quality requirements, and machine configuration.
It is suitable for workshops entering laser tube cutting, factories adding dedicated tube-processing equipment, and manufacturers handling small-batch or medium-batch orders.
The following values are general reference ranges for common tube applications:
|
Material |
Typical 3kW Reference Cutting Thickness |
Application Notes |
|
Carbon steel |
Approximately 0.8–12 mm |
Oxygen cutting is commonly used for thicker sections; nitrogen may be selected when a cleaner edge is required |
|
Stainless steel |
Approximately 0.8–6 mm |
Nitrogen is commonly used to reduce oxidation and improve edge appearance |
|
Galvanized steel |
Approximately 0.8–5 mm |
Cutting parameters should account for coating behavior and fume control |
|
Aluminum |
Approximately 0.8–4 mm |
Actual capacity depends strongly on alloy, tube geometry, and heat dissipation |
|
Brass or copper |
Approximately 0.8–3 mm |
Requires suitable laser source, cutting head, gas, and parameter configuration |
The maximum practical thickness may be lower for small-diameter tubes, complex profiles, high-speed production, or strict edge-quality requirements. A cutting test using the buyer's actual tube is recommended before final confirmation.
Cutting speed varies according to wall thickness, material grade, tube shape, cutting gas, nozzle diameter, focal position, and required edge quality. The following values are general reference ranges for straight sections of common tube materials:
|
Material and Thickness |
Reference Cutting Speed with 3kW Laser |
|
Carbon steel, 2 mm |
Approximately 4–8 m/min |
|
Carbon steel, 4 mm |
Approximately 2–4 m/min |
|
Carbon steel, 6 mm |
Approximately 1.2–2.5 m/min |
|
Carbon steel, 10 mm |
Approximately 0.5–1.2 m/min |
|
Stainless steel, 2 mm |
Approximately 3–6 m/min |
|
Stainless steel, 4 mm |
Approximately 1.2–2.5 m/min |
|
Stainless steel, 6 mm |
Approximately 0.5–1.2 m/min |
|
Galvanized steel, 2 mm |
Approximately 3–6 m/min |
|
Aluminum, 2 mm |
Approximately 4–8 m/min |
These speeds are for preliminary evaluation only. Hole cutting, slotting, sharp corners, small contours, and end trimming normally require lower speeds than straight-line cutting. Buyers should evaluate both cutting speed and finished edge quality when comparing machine configurations.
Laser power should be selected according to the required material thickness, production speed, and workload rather than maximum power alone.

Compared with a 2kW machine, the 3kW model generally provides a wider processing range and higher productivity for medium-thickness tubes. Compared with a 4kW machine, it usually offers a lower investment and more economical operation, while giving up some speed and maximum thickness capacity.
For buyers mainly processing thin-wall furniture tubes, a 2kW system may be sufficient. For mixed orders involving medium-thickness carbon steel and stainless steel tubes, 3kW is often a practical choice. For continuous production of thicker tubes or high-volume orders, a 4kW configuration may provide better productivity.
The Economical Fiber Laser Tube Cutting Machine supports round, square, rectangular, and selected special profiles according to the final configuration. Applicable materials may include carbon steel, stainless steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, and other laser-cuttable metals.
The actual cutting range depends on material grade, wall thickness, tube profile, cutting gas, required edge quality, and production speed.
Digital programming allows operators to change tube lengths, hole positions, contours, and end shapes without preparing dedicated mechanical tooling for every design. This makes the machine suitable for repeat production, customized fabrication, prototypes, and mixed orders.
The universal chuck accommodates round and square tubes, helping reduce fixture changes between different workpieces. Stable clamping supports accurate cutting of holes, slots, contours, and cuts around multiple sides of the tube.
The chuck speed can reach up to 120 rpm.
For suitable parts, the machine can combine measuring-related preparation, cutting, drilling, slotting, and end trimming into one programmed process. This may reduce manual marking, repeated clamping, workpiece transfers, and secondary machining.
The actual improvement depends on the tube geometry, material, production volume, and existing workflow.
The Economical Fiber Laser Tube Cutting Machine is suitable for metal furniture applications such as tables, chairs, shelving, bed frames, and other tubular furniture components.
For fitness equipment, it can process frames, brackets, supports, and connection parts used in gym equipment.
In automotive component production, it can be used for selected tubular structures, brackets, supports, and fabricated vehicle parts.
For agricultural machinery, typical applications include frames, guards, supports, and connecting components.
In construction structure manufacturing, it can process structural tubes, handrails, supports, and framework components.
For general metal fabrication, the machine is suitable for customized parts, prototypes, contract manufacturing, and mixed orders.
The machine provides access to the loading area, chuck system, and cutting zone for daily operation and inspection. Operators can change programs according to production drawings, which is useful for manufacturers with frequent product changes.
Routine maintenance should include inspection and cleaning of the chuck, guide components, cutting head protection, cooling system, gas system, lubrication points, and electrical connections. Nozzles, protective lenses, and other consumables should be checked and replaced when necessary.
The final configuration should be selected according to the actual application rather than laser power alone.
Before requesting a quotation, buyers should confirm the tube shape and dimensions, maximum and minimum tube size, tube length, material and wall thickness, expected production volume, typical part drawings, required cutting speed, edge quality requirements, workshop space and power supply, cutting gas, and auxiliary equipment.
A cutting sample based on the buyer's actual material and drawings is recommended before final equipment selection.

The final cutting thickness and speed should be confirmed according to the material, tube dimensions, wall thickness, cutting gas, required edge quality, and production target.
It can be configured for carbon steel, stainless steel, galvanized steel, aluminum, and other suitable laser-cuttable metals. The actual capability depends on material grade, thickness, tube profile, cutting gas, and edge quality requirements.
As a general reference, the 3kW model can process carbon steel tube walls up to approximately 10–12 mm and stainless steel tube walls up to approximately 5–6 mm under suitable conditions. These values are not universal limits. Actual performance must be confirmed through testing with the buyer's material, tube dimensions, and required edge quality.
For common thin and medium-thickness tubes, reference speeds may range from approximately 0.5 to 8 m/min depending on material and thickness. For example, 2 mm carbon steel may reach approximately 4–8 m/min, while 6 mm stainless steel may operate at approximately 0.5–1.2 m/min. Hole cutting, slotting, corners, and complex contours generally require lower speeds.
The standard application includes round, square, and rectangular tubes. Selected special profiles may also be possible after confirming their dimensions and clamping requirements.
The maximum tube diameter is 120 mm, and the maximum tube length is 6100 mm. The usable range should be confirmed according to the tube shape, wall thickness, loading method, and final configuration.
Yes. The Economical Fiber Laser Tube Cutting Machine can perform hole cutting, slotting, contour cutting, and end trimming in addition to cutting tubes to length.
A 3kW laser source is suitable for many common tube-processing applications. It is generally more capable than a 2kW system for medium-thickness tubes and more economical than a 4kW system for moderate production requirements. The correct choice depends on material, thickness, tube size, cutting speed, production volume, and edge quality. Buyers should provide actual workpiece information for evaluation.
Choose 2kW when most work involves thin-wall tubes and investment control is the priority. Choose 3kW for a balanced range of common carbon steel, stainless steel, and galvanized tube applications. Choose 4kW when higher production speed, thicker materials, or continuous heavy-duty operation is required.
The stated positioning accuracy is ±0.03 mm, with repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.03 mm. Actual part accuracy also depends on tube straightness, clamping, machine calibration, cutting parameters, and program settings.
