Overview
Four sizes for tubes and profiles
The MSF Pipe i5 - i11 cuts round, square, rectangular, oval and special profiles, including angles, channels and H-beams. A rigid frame, dynamic pipe positioning and precise gear-driven rotary chucks support high cutting speeds with low vibration and near-zero tailing waste.
The four models differ in capacity: the i5 takes round tubes from Ø 20 to 120 mm and 100 kg, the i6 up to Ø 160 mm and 160 kg, the i9 up to Ø 240 mm and 300 kg, and the i11 up to Ø 280 mm and 600 kg. Square tubes run from 20 x 20 mm up to the same outer size as the round range.
All models use 3–6 kW of laser power, 6 or 9 m loading and 3 or 5 m unloading, with automatic loading as standard. The machine can be scaled from 2D tube cutting to bevel cutting for weld preparation with a laser bevel head, and loading can be added with a semi-automatic chain system or a fully automatic bundle loader. It runs CyberFab Control and CyberFab CAM / mCAM with an integrated cutting-parameter database.
