Fiber laser cutting machine M5

for metaltubefor aeronautical applications

Overview
Fiber laser tube cutting machine designed for continuous industrial tube processing. The Bodor M5 integrates a 4‑chuck system and automated loading/unloading to enable high‑throughput, precise cutting of round, square and rectangular tubes.

Key benefits

• 4‑chuck synchronous operation: simultaneous loading, cutting and unloading to minimize idle time.
• High loading capacity: supports large diameters up to Ø510 mm and heavy tubes (up to 2,500 kg).
• Zero leftover strategy: fourth chuck enables full clamping to eliminate remaining scrap on the last piece.
• Reduced manual handling: automation improves operator safety and lowers labor requirements.

Features & enhancements

• Floor‑standing rigid frame: perpendicular load path for increased stability, simplified installation and maintenance.
• Airtight pneumatic chucks & intelligent cutting modes: dust‑resistant sealed chucks for lower maintenance; two cutting modes — heavy‑cut for high weight and efficiency‑cut for long lengths (up to 12,000 mm). The 4‑chuck cycle can complete clamping/cutting in ~2 seconds depending on operation.
• Fully automatic handling: automatic load/unload for round, square and rectangular tubes with no manual intervention.
• Waste‑minimizing workflow: configured to process the final piece without leftover material.
• Synchronous process integration: parallel block permits concurrent loading/processing/unloading to maximize throughput.
• High‑precision bevel cutting: multi‑angle beveling capability to optimize downstream assembly and welding.
• Optional weld‑seam detection: camera‑based seam identification to avoid cutting over welds (including inner weld seams) on various tube profiles.

Applications

• Pipelines for oil & gas: cutting pipe sections and fittings (wall thicknesses up to ~20 mm depending on material).
• Aerospace: structural and component tube processing for aircraft and spacecraft systems.
• Industrial architecture & structures: fabrication of factory frames, power plant components and large structural elements.
• Elevator components: production of structural parts with tight material utilization.
• Heavy machinery: manufacture of components for excavators, crawlers, aerial platforms and other heavy equipment.
