As the tube processing industry continues to evolve at a rapid pace, many tube and pipe manufacturers are facing persistent production challenges, including limited production capacity, excessive material waste, unstable cutting accuracy during long-term mass production, and high equipment operating requirements.
On August 7, LONX LASER officially launched the 7th-generation K9 High-Speed Laser Tube Cutting Machine, the latest evolution of its flagship K9 series. Built on the real-world experience of tens of thousands of K9 machines deployed in the market, the new 7th-generation model features comprehensive upgrades across seven core technologies.
Designed to deliver faster cutting, lower material waste, greater long-term stability, and higher production efficiency, the K9 7th Generation is setting a new benchmark for high-speed laser tube cutting and helping tube processing companies accelerate production, reduce material costs, maintain consistent quality, and improve overall profitability.
Speed is the key to maximizing production capacity in high-volume tube processing. The new K9 7th Generation features a major upgrade in drive performance, delivering up to 3.0G acceleration on the X-axis, 2.0G on the Y-axis, and a B-axis rotation speed of 200 rad/s.
Compared with the factory-standard performance of the 6th-generation model, the overall cutting efficiency of the K9 7th Generation can be increased by up to 20%.
This performance upgrade enables faster positioning, quicker movement, and shorter processing cycles, helping manufacturers increase throughput and improve production efficiency in high-volume laser tube cutting applications.
With faster start-up, rapid positioning, and smooth, agile movement, the K9 7th Generation breaks through traditional processing speed limits for high-volume tube cutting orders. It enables manufacturers to process large batches of tubes and pipes more efficiently, helping upgrade workshop productivity and maximize production capacity.
LONX LASER K9 7th Generation — Over 20% Faster, Still Stable and Reliable!
Stable performance is the foundation of consistent cutting quality, especially under high-speed operating conditions.
LONX LASER, in collaboration with Friendess (CypCut), has jointly developed and optimized a new beam structure through mechanical simulation and real-world testing, significantly improving the machine’s overall resistance to deformation.
The K9 7th Generation features a self-developed, thickened and reinforced integrated L-shaped machine bed with a highly rigid structure. This robust design provides enhanced stability during high-speed operation, helping maintain consistent cutting accuracy and reliable performance during continuous, high-volume tube processing.
Even after prolonged full-load operation, with the machine temperature rising by 20°C, the K9 7th Generation maintains consistent cutting accuracy with no noticeable deviation.
Built for demanding production environments, the machine is capable of continuous, all-day mass production, helping reduce defective parts and rework while maintaining stable processing quality.
It is well suited for high-load tube processing applications across industries such as automotive parts, hardware manufacturing, steel structures, bathroom fixtures, and sanitary equipment.
Every piece of tube material counts. Minimizing leftover material means reducing real production costs.
The new K9 7th Generation features an intelligent front chuck avoidance system and full-stroke chuck design. The chuck automatically adjusts its position to avoid interference during cutting, allowing tube remnants to be reduced to as little as 0 mm.
By maximizing raw material utilization, the machine helps manufacturers reduce tube material consumption and lower production costs at the source. Whether processing thin-wall tubes, thick-wall tubes, or complex-shaped profiles, the K9 7th Generation enables more material-efficient production.
The K9 7th Generation adopts LONX LASER’s distinctive family-style industrial design, featuring a large integrated wide-screen control panel for a cleaner and more intuitive operating experience.
The user interface is designed to be simple, clear, and easy to navigate, allowing operators to quickly adjust tube processing parameters, access cutting programs, and review production data at a glance. This helps lower the learning curve and reduce operator training requirements.
The distinctive LONX LASER design language also enhances brand recognition and visual consistency, giving the workshop a more modern and professional appearance.
The intelligent cutting system has received a comprehensive upgrade to AI Smart Cutting 2.0, delivering a more precise, intelligent, and user-friendly tube cutting experience.
The upgraded AI Smart Cutting system incorporates cutting process data and experience from more than 10,000 LONX LASER users, covering a wide range of tube materials, diameters, and processing conditions. It intelligently optimizes cutting paths to improve processing efficiency and consistency.
Even new operators can quickly get started with machine setup, reducing the need for repeated parameter adjustments and complicated manual tuning. By leveraging intelligent process optimization, the system helps reduce dependence on operator experience, simplify machine operation, and improve overall production efficiency.
Proven technology, trusted by the market.
LONX LASER’s technical capabilities have been validated by both official recognition and real-world market applications. The company has received the 11th Guangdong Patent Award, recognizing its independently developed technologies at the provincial level. Meanwhile, the cumulative delivery of LONX LASER tube cutting machines has exceeded 30,000 units, with thousands of manufacturing facilities putting these machines into real-world production.
From speed innovation and material-saving cutting to high-rigidity machine construction and AI-powered intelligent operation, the K9 7th Generation stays true to its core philosophy: “Stable High-Speed Performance, Customer First.”
With higher efficiency, lower material waste, and smarter operation, LONX LASER is committed to providing advanced laser tube cutting solutions that help tube processing companies improve productivity, reduce production costs, and achieve more efficient manufacturing.
