Bodor X260A fibre laser cutter for cleaner and more precise tube cutting

ready when the previous one is being processed. When unloading, finished parts will be automatically transferred to storage room, sparing the need to separate from leftover materials. Bodor X260A can cut tubes of up to 6,500mm length and carry a maximum of 220kg weight. The minimum length of leftover material can reach 66mm, saving as much material as possible.

The smart auto-centering chuck on Bodor X260A, which is suitable for tubes of 0.5-10mm wall thickness, has also been designed to offer outstanding control of precision and torque. With the auto-centering function, clamping tubes of the wrong size and clamping deformation for thin tubes are avoided completely. According to Bodor, users only need to put the whole bundle of tubes on the loading device, then the tubes will be automatically sorted and loaded and the next tube will be prepared This type of steel has ductility, toughness, fatigue resistance and is lighter than structural steels, which the customer is committed to using in the fastening systems for the mining industry tunnels. According to Emmedi, the silicon carbide transistors are more efficient and reliable than many other components currently used on the market, and the extremely compact footprint of the power supply minimises floor space and make it a great solution in terms of energy and space savings. As the safety of workers is becoming increasingly important and the demand of the quality of tubes used in the industries also increases, Emmedi has committed to study the different working

BODOR Laser has been working on improving the precision and efficiency for cutting tubes of low and medium thickness, in order to fulfil the cutting needs of users. On the X260A laser tube cutting machine, Bodor has applied its newly developed contour recognition technology, which adopts the photoelectric positioning method, making precise positioning possible for oval tubes and round tube and lowering cutting precision deviation to 0.15mm or less.

frequencies, the inductor design and the appropriate combination of types of impeders in the material used to manufacture the tubes. It has also examined the high water pressure (200 Bar) to which they are subjected during the process. The Emmedi group has designed and tested the equipment to meet the requirements of the customer and, in addition to the continuous control of the welding process, it is supplying a system that is designed to increase the quality and safety of the tubes and, therefore, the safety of the workers.

EMMEDI has been appointed by a European manufacturer in the production of tubes for the mining industry to supply its new EMMEDI 200 KW SiC technology equipment for the welding of high strength steel tubes (HSS).
