Scope

What This Solution Covers

Fabrication shops often split work between a plate cutter and a separate tube line, doubling handling time. Weihua Laser supplies fiber platforms for 1 to 14 mm plate and dedicated tube chucks for round and square profiles, letting you cut both on the same floor with consistent accuracy.

Before

Problems In The Current Process

  • Plate and tube parts are cut on separate machines, forcing material to be moved twice between stations
  • Long pipes sag during cutting, causing out-of-round holes and scrapped parts that cannot be reworked
  • Punch tooling lead times block short-run orders where the hole pattern changes for every batch
  • A cutter bed that was never stress relieved drifts out of accuracy and produces inconsistent parts
  • Manual focus adjustment between different material thicknesses slows down changeover and increases operator error
Requirements

What The Process Has To Deliver

  • A single machine that covers the plate thicknesses actually in stock, typically 1 to 14 mm
  • Repeat positioning accuracy tight enough that hole patterns stay interchangeable between parts
  • Fast changeover between materials and thicknesses without manual focus adjustment
  • Enclosed cutting with fume extraction so the shop stays inside local workplace rules
  • A supplier that answers technical questions within a day when the machine is down
Process

Stage By Stage

Send drawings in DXF or AI and the material and thickness mix you run

We recommend the bed size and source power that match that mix, not the largest machine

Machine is assembled, run idle and checked for positioning and repeat positioning accuracy

A secondary configuration check and a component count are done before packaging

Machine ships by sea, air or international express with an English manual and video guidance

Installation and commissioning are supported by video and remote technical support

Applications

Typical Applications

  • Cutting 3000 W fiber laser plates for electrical cabinets where every louvre and hole must repeat across the batch
  • Processing 20 to 350 mm diameter pipes for fitness equipment, shelving and furniture frames
  • Cutting square and rectangular tube for agricultural machinery frames using a pneumatic chuck system
  • Welding stainless sheet corners with a handheld fiber welder instead of TIG and grinding
  • Cleaning rust and mill scale off steel weldments before powder coating

Buyer Questions

Metal Sheet and Tube Cutting FAQ

Which machine suits a shop cutting mostly 1 to 6 mm steel?
A 1500 W or 2000 W 3015 platform covers that range comfortably. The 3000 W source only earns its cost if you regularly cut above 8 mm.
Can I cut tube on the same machine as sheet?
Yes, the HT and ET series take both. If tube is the main job, the T series is a dedicated tube and pipe cutter.
Do I still need to deburr laser cut parts?
Laser edges normally go straight to welding or coating. Thicker carbon steel cut with oxygen may leave light dross that wipes off.
How do I remove weld spatter and rust before coating?
A handheld pulse or continuous fiber laser cleaner removes rust, oil and paint without chemicals or blasting media.
What certification do the machines carry?
We hold CE certificates for laser cutting machines and for laser marking machines, and can send copies before shipment.
How long does shipping take?
It depends on destination and method. We ship by sea, air and international express and confirm the schedule when the order is placed.
