Laser Tube Cutter
MicroStep MSF Pipe ET
Three-chuck fiber laser for tubes and profiles, 3 to 6 kW
The MicroStep MSF Pipe ET is a laser tube and profile cutting machine with three rotary chucks. The workpiece stays supported up to the last cut, so tailing waste is close to zero and more finished parts come from every length.

Overview
More finished parts from every length
The MSF Pipe ET is built for manufacturers who want more usable parts from each tube or profile. Three independently controlled rotary chucks hold the workpiece during loading, cutting and unloading, which keeps it stable at high cutting speeds and reduces vibration while the material moves.
Because the material is held to the very end, tailing waste is close to zero. This means less scrap and better use of long tubes, demanding profiles and high-value materials. The machine processes round, square, rectangular and oval tubes as well as special profiles such as angles and H-beams.
The platform combines a durable machine bed, a high-dynamic pipe positioning system and gear-driven chucks with precise planetary gears. Operation runs on MicroStep's in-house CyberFab control with integrated cutting data, CyberFab CAM or mCAM software and Industry 4.0 features.
Options include a laser bevel head, semi-automatic chain loading and a fully automatic bundle loader. Loading and unloading lengths of 6, 9 or 12 m are available.
Applications
Inside the MSF Pipe ET
Each step from loading to cutting keeps the tube supported and under control.
Rear rotary chuck clamping a long tube that rests on vertical pipe supports along the bed
Tube and profile cutting
Round, square, rectangular and oval tubes are cut at high speed and with high accuracy.
Three-chuck clamping
Three rotary chucks hold the workpiece during loading, cutting and unloading for stable handling.
Material loading
Semi-automatic chain loading or a fully automatic bundle loader feed the machine, as options.
Long tubes and profiles
Supports carry long tubes, angles and H-beams through the machine with 6, 9 or 12 m loading lengths.
