OverviewThe Bodor SK is a tube fiber laser cutting machine engineered for high-throughput, automated tube processing. It combines dual independent chucks, rapid axis acceleration and high chuck rotational speed to minimize scrap and increase production efficiency.
Performance Highlights- Maximum tested acceleration: 2.7G for rapid axis motion and reduced cycle time.
- Chuck rotation speed up to 260 r/min to support fast cutting and indexing.
- Laser head Z-axis idle speed (algorithm upgraded): 60 m/min, ~25% faster than previous generation.
Key Advantages- Dual independent front-and-rear chucks enable front-chuck advance and rear-chuck pass-through to achieve near-zero scrap (example minimum scrap down to ~40 mm depending on process).
- Concurrent loading and cutting with automatic loading device — typical ultra-fast load cycle ~8 s to optimize takt time.
- Stable clamping for long workpieces via front-and-rear dual clamping, improving end-to-end part quality and positioning consistency.
- AI intelligent nesting and 3-step self-drawing to reduce manual drawing, optimize material utilization (typical nesting efficiency gain ~30%) and accelerate job setup.
- Improved positioning and roundness: reported >20% improvement vs previous generation in chuck positioning and true roundness.
Structural & Mechanical Features- Sky Bow bed structure: triangular three-dimensional transmission for balanced torque and optimized guide-rail load distribution.
- High-strength alloy chuck with hardened jaws for enhanced positioning accuracy and long-term wear resistance.
- Fully sealed internal dust prevention to avoid roller jamming and extend service life.
- Front chuck travel beyond the laser head for dual-clamp cutting of long tubes.
Automation & Workflow- Automatic loading device supports parallel loading and cutting to shorten cycles (example: loading area ultra-fast load ~8 s while cutting continues).
- Three-step self-drawing: select tube type → generate drawing from parameters → one-key processing for repetitive patterns (e.g., stair handrails, guardrails).
- AI intelligent nesting upgrades layout and path planning to increase cutting efficiency and reduce material consumption (case example: annual material savings >1000 tubes in comprehensive scenarios).
Optional Capabilities- Dual-zone following supports (loading rollers, deep U-shaped bionic rollers, unloading following plate) — all-servo support to maintain consistent precision across tube length.
- Zero-tail processing (optional) to achieve near-zero scrap under optimized nesting strategies.
- Bevel cutting (optional) with zero-swing-length structure to reduce head swing and enable zero-gap weld-ready cuts in a single pass.
Warranty & ValidationStandard Bodor support programs apply; extended warranty options available (example: 5-year warranty program referenced by Bodor). Performance data are laboratory-sourced and comparative test results are cited; actual results depend on material, configuration and operating conditions.
