Arriving soon · Richmond, BC
The 6 kW fiber tube laser.
Tube and pipe up to 9 m long, cut to length with every hole, slot, cope and notch already in it. One of very few machines like it in BC and Western Canada, and it's coming to our Richmond shop.
Rare in the West. As far as we know, only a handful of shops in BC and Western Canada run a fiber tube laser this size. Now you don't have to ship tube work east or overseas.

What fits
Tube, pipe, beam, channel and bar.
Round, square and rectangular tube from 12 mm to 240 mm across, plus angle, C and U channel, I and H beam, flat bar and solid bar. Up to 9 m long and 300 kg a piece. Not sure your profile fits? Send it and we'll check.
Length
Longer than a shipping container.
Materials
Steel, stainless and aluminum.
Mild steel, stainless and aluminum, plus galvanized. Tell us the grade and wall thickness and we'll match the cut to it.
What it cuts
Saw, drill, mill and file in one pass.
Every feature is cut where the drawing puts it, while the tube turns in the chuck. Parts come off ready to weld.
Copes + saddles
Fish-mouth ends that wrap the tube they meet, so round frames fit up with no grinding.
Miters + angle cuts
Clean 45° and compound corners for frames, gates and furniture.
Tab + slot joints
Parts that lock together on the weld table: self-jigging, square, and fast to tack.
Notch + fold
V-notches that fold one tube into a bent frame with one weld instead of four.
Patterns + logos
Decorative cut-outs, vents and your logo cut right into the tube.
How it works
From bundle to finished part.
The loader feeds a tube, the chucks spin and carry it under the 6 kW head, and finished parts drop onto the out table. No layout, no saw, no drill press.
- 01Bundles of tube go on the loader. It feeds them in one at a time, up to 9 m long.
- 02Two chucks carry the tube at up to 150 m/min with 1.5 G of acceleration.
- 03The 6 kW fiber head cuts holes, slots and copes while the tube turns at up to 140 rpm.
- 04Angled and coped ends come off ready to fit, with no saw and no grinding.
- 05Copper anti-burn jaws keep the chucks true, shift after shift.
Clips show the same model of machine at the maker's plant. Our own footage follows when it's running in Richmond.

What do you need to quote a tube job?
A STEP or IGES model is best; a drawing with tube size, wall thickness, length and quantity works too. We'll nest it and reply within 24 to 48 hours.
Can you weld what you cut?
Yes. Tube parts go straight to our MIG and TIG bay, and the 5-axis can machine critical faces true after welding.
