LX-K12-5 Tube Laser Cutter for Pipe Fittings in Turkey | Longxin Laser

In the competitive landscape of industrial manufacturing, choosing the right Tube Laser Cutter is crucial for efficiency. Turkey, a major hub for construction and infrastructure materials, is seeing a surge in demand for high-quality pipe fittings.

Recently, LX Cutting Machine successfully installed our LX-K12-5 Medium Tube Laser Cutter at a leading facility in Turkey. This case study explores how this machine solved the challenges of cutting heavy-duty rectangular tubes.

1. Client Profile & The Challenge

The client is a specialized manufacturer of Pipe Fittings and structural connectors used in fluid transport systems. Precision is their top priority because any deviation in the cut affects the welding quality.

Material Specifications :

• Tube Type: Rectangular Tube 
• Dimensions: 50mm × 100mm
• Thickness: 4.3mm (Medium-Heavy Wall)

The Problem:
Before adopting a professional Tube Laser Cutter, the client used mechanical saws. For 4.3mm thick steel, sawing was slow and resulted in slanted edges. This caused huge gaps during assembly, requiring excessive welding wire and labor to fix.

2. Why Choose the LX-K12-5 Tube Laser Cutter?

The LX-K12-5 is engineered specifically as a "Medium Tube" specialist. It bridges the gap between small, fast machines and massive heavy-duty systems.

Handling 50x100mm with Stability:
Processing a 50x100mm tube requires a stable clamping system. The LX-K12-5 features pneumatic chucks that hold the tube firmly. Even with the 4.3mm thickness, the machine maintains high stability, ensuring the laser beam cuts strictly perpendicular to the surface.

Power and Speed:
As a high-performance Tube Laser Cutter, the K12-5 utilizes a fiber laser source that pierces 4.3mm carbon steel instantly. This replaces drilling and sawing in one continuous operation.

3. Results: Precision for Pipe Fittings

The implementation of the LX-K12-5 in the Turkish factory brought immediate benefits:

1. Perfect Weld Preparation: The cut edges are clean and square. The 50x100mm pipes fit together perfectly with zero gaps, significantly improving the strength of the pipe fittings.

2. No Secondary Finishing: The laser cut is burr-free. The client eliminated the grinding stage, saving 20% in labor costs.
3. Increased Capacity: The cutting cycle time was reduced by over 50%, allowing the client to take on more orders from the European market.

For manufacturers in the pipe fitting industry, investing in the right Tube Laser Cutter is a game-changer. The LX-K12-5 proved to be the ideal solution for processing 50x100mm tubes with 4.3mm thickness, delivering Turkish quality to the world.
