LX-K9 Zero Tailing Laser Tube Cutting Machine: Fast, Accurate & Zero-Waste

The LX-K9 is a high-speed CNC fiber laser tube cutting machine designed for cutting round, square, and shaped metal profiles with unmatched material efficiency. Equipped with a high-precision dual-pneumatic chuck avoidance system and the LONX customized BOCHU EtherCAT bus system, the LX-K9 achieves zero tailing (residual waste ≥0mm), helping fabricators drastically cut raw material costs and optimize batch production        

Key Advantages & Selling Points of the LX-K9

1.True Zero-Tailing Technology (≥0mm Residual Tail)

• Intelligent Chuck Avoidance: During tail-cutting, the movable front chuck performs smart avoidance, clamps the tube, and pulls it out from the rear chuck to achieve zero-tail cutting (residual tail length ≥0mm).

• Maximum Material Savings: Minimizes scrap per tube, significantly improving yield rates and lowering raw metal expenses in volume processing.

• High Nesting Efficiency: Achieves optimal zero-tail cutting performance for finished workpiece lengths between 650mm and 1500mm.

  

2.High Dynamics & Extreme Cutting Speed (Up to 3.0G Acceleration)

• Rapid Cycle Times: Delivers up to 3.0G acceleration on the X-axis and 2.0G on the Y-axis, drastically reducing non-cutting transit time.

• 230 r/min Full-Stroke Chucks: High-speed 100x100mm square-hole pneumatic chucks clamp tubes firmly and rotate up to 230 r/min for thin- and medium-wall tubes.

• Micro-Level Positioning: Achieves X/Y-axis positioning accuracy of ±0.05 mm/1000mm and repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.05 mm.

4.Modular Automation & Flexible Loading Systems

• Semi-Automatic Loading: Supports multi-tube pre-staging for fast manual-assisted feeding (tube diameter: 15-90mm, tube length: 4500-6500mm).

• Fully Automatic Bundle Loading: Handles bundled tube loading up to 1.8 tons per batch with automatic separation and feeding (tube diameter: 20-90mm, length: 4500-6500mm).

• Fully Servo-Driven Loading: Servo-controlled precision feeding and sorting for continuous automated factory lines.

• Versatile Unloading Units: Available with standard inclined unloading plates, 1m/2.3m servo follow-up receiving tables, or pneumatic roller unloading systems to prevent part deformation and surface scratches.

5.Slag-Free & Slag-Removal Clean Cutting (Optional)

• Fluid-Assisted Slag-Free System: Uses a dedicated waterproof chuck and circulating cutting fluid to prevent molten spatter from sticking to the inner wall (applicable to tubes 20-60mm, length ≤800mm), eliminating secondary deburring.

• Servo Single-Tube Slag Removal: Mechanically cleans molten slag on tubes with inner diameter ≥40mm and length ≤800mm.

• 

6.Rigid Heavy-Duty Bed & Intelligent Bus Control

• Annealed L-Shaped Machine Bed: Welded from high-grade steel and treated with high-temperature annealing and secondary stress relief, precision-machined by a gantry milling machine for long-term vibration resistance.

• LONX Customized BOCHU CNC Bus System: Integrates EtherCAT bus communication, dynamic pipe center calibration, four-sided centering, leapfrog motion, weld seam compensation, and co-edge cutting.

• Digital Management Platform: Integrates with the "My Machine Tool" system for real-time equipment status tracking, production logs, alarm warnings, and cutting parameter optimization.

7.Target Industry Applications

• School & Office Furniture: Metal desks, ergonomic chair tubes, shelving, and display racks.

• Fitness & Sports Equipment: Treadmill structures, weight racks, and outdoor gym components.

• Automotive & Hardware Fabrication: Vehicle frames, hardware brackets, sanitary ware, and commercial pipe products.

• Construction Machinery & Pipeline Fabrication: Custom tubular frameworks, metal railing systems, and structural conduit assemblies
