LAZIRON FT Sheet and Tube Laser Cutting Machine

Sheet and tube laser cutting machine LAZIRON eliminates a costly dual investment from the process. Instead of two separate machines, one for flat sheet and one for tubes, it integrates both functions into a single system with the rotary chuck built into the cutting table — saving space, staff and CAPEX.

With a fiber laser source between 1.5 and 6 kW, a 3000×1500 mm usable area for sheet and tube capacity up to Ø250 mm with lengths of 6000 mm, each LAZIRON FT sheet and tube laser cutting machine offers workshops with a varied production mix an unbeatable quality-price ratio: the same premium components (Cypcut, RayTools, S&A) as on the dedicated models, but with a single investment.

What makes the LAZIRON FT a sheet and tube laser cutting machine built for real production

The LAZIRON FT sheet and tube laser cutting machine concentrates in a single system the advantages that matter on the production line: repeatable precision, parameter automation, predictable operating costs and a long service life for the critical components.

• Integrated dual sheet + tube system — eliminates the need for two separate machines, saving 35-45% of the total CAPEX cost and 50% of the required shop floor space.
• Pneumatic chuck built into the table — rises automatically for tube cutting cycles and retracts completely for sheet cutting — switchover in under 60 seconds.
• Fiber laser power 1.5–6 kW — configurable for workshops with a typical metal fabrication mix: thin sheet for panels and structural tubes for frames.
• Complete dual capacity — sheet up to 3000×1500 mm (optional 4000×2000), tubes Ø20-Ø250 mm with lengths of 6000 mm — the same RayTools head for both.
• RayTools head with capacitive autofocus — automatically switches parameters between flat sheet and rotary tube, with 3D compensation for tube curvature.
• Cypcut software with dual modules — includes both the plate module with traditional nesting and the tube module with a parametric library — one software, two workflows.
• Single operator for both functions — eliminates double dedicated staffing, ideal for small to medium workshops where every salary counts towards the hourly cost.

Technical specifications — LAZIRON FT sheet and tube laser cutting machine

This LAZIRON sheet and tube laser cutting machine is available in standardized configurations, the choice being made according to the application mix and the workshop's monthly production volume.

Industries that use a LAZIRON sheet and tube laser cutting machine

A LAZIRON sheet and tube laser cutting machine is the natural choice for workshops with mixed production: metal fabricators that deliver both flat parts and tubular assemblies, metal furniture factories, railing workshops and manufacturers of sports equipment.

Manufacturers of structures for lightweight metal construction use a single LAZIRON FT sheet and tube laser cutting machine to cut both flat panels (storage unit walls, technical floors) and structural tubular profiles (frames, bracing) in a single workshop, with a single operator. A mixed monthly volume of 3-6 tonnes processed in-house justifies the investment in 20-32 months.

Industrial furniture factories (shelving, warehouse structures, commercial furniture), hardware workshops and manufacturers of commercial fitness equipment benefit from maximum flexibility: they can accept orders with a sheet+tube mix without subcontracting any operation. Cutting subcontractors with a varied portfolio offer complete services to local clients without a dual investment.

Materials compatible with a LAZIRON sheet and tube laser cutting machine

With fiber laser sources between 1.5 and 6 kW, each LAZIRON LAZIRON FT sheet and tube laser cutting machine processes the full range of metals for both formats, without interchangeable heads or optics.

Cypcut automatically switches the cutting parameters between sheet mode (with planar nesting) and tube mode (with 3D compensation), while the RayTools head keeps the edge quality constant on both processing types.

Typical performance per material

• Carbon steel — sheet (with 6 kW): up to 20 mm
• Stainless steel — sheet: up to 15 mm
• Carbon steel — tube wall: up to 12 mm
• Aluminium — both formats: up to 10 mm

How the LAZIRON FT model works

The workflow of a LAZIRON LAZIRON FT sheet and tube laser cutting machine allows quick switching between the two working modes depending on the current schedule.

1. For flat sheet: the operator loads the sheet onto the standard table with a crane or by hand, and the rotary chuck remains in the retracted position.
2. For tube: the pneumatic chuck rises automatically from the table, and the operator loads the tube through the open end.
3. The automatic detection system identifies the material type and loads the corresponding program from Cypcut.
4. The RayTools head runs the program with continuous autofocus, with 3D compensation activated automatically for tube mode.
5. At the end, the finished parts are unloaded, and switching to the other working mode is done in under 60 seconds.
6. The anti-collision system permanently monitors the operating area in both modes.

For integration with other equipment in your workshop, the machine connects natively to the other LAZIRON equipment through a common MES.

Frequently asked questions about the sheet and tube laser cutting machine

Do I lose performance compared to separate dedicated machines?

On both individual functions, the LAZIRON FT sheet and tube laser cutting machine reaches 90-95% of the performance of an equivalent dedicated machine. The only notable difference: the maximum tube length (6000 mm on the FT vs 6500-8000 mm on the dedicated T2/T3 models). For workshops with a typical mix and volumes under 5 tonnes/month per format, the quality-price ratio is clearly superior to the dual solution.

How much do I save compared to buying two separate machines?

An equivalent plate machine (LAZIRON F) plus a tube machine (LAZIRON T2) together cost 35-45% more than a single LAZIRON FT sheet and tube laser cutting machine with the same capacities. Add the 50% shop floor space saving and the single operator — the total difference over 5 years of operation exceeds 80,000-120,000 EUR.

What laser power do I choose for a sheet+tube mix?

For a 70% sheet + 30% tube mix with medium walls: 3 kW is optimal. For a 50/50 mix with large thicknesses on the sheet: 6 kW. The 1.5 kW source is only justified for workshops with a majority of thin tube and sheet under 3 mm. The 6 kW configuration offers the best quality-flexibility ratio for workshops with varied production.

How long does the actual switchover between sheet and tube take in production?

Mechanically, under 60 seconds (raising and lowering the chuck). Programmatically, loading the file for the new material and calibrating the zero point add another 2-3 minutes. For small alternating batches, we recommend grouping the programs by the same working mode within a shift and switching only once a day for maximum efficiency.

What delivery, installation and training are included?

DAP delivery to your premises. Installation, commissioning and operator training (4-5 days for both modes) are optional contractable services. A free pre-delivery online inspection for any LAZIRON FT sheet and tube laser cutting machine, with a live test on both reference materials supplied by you.

ROI calculation for a LAZIRON sheet and tube laser cutting machine

The decision to invest in a sheet and tube laser cutting machine is not made on the basis of the technical specifications alone — what counts is how the equipment translates into real monthly cash-flow figures for your workshop.

For workshops that currently subcontract the equivalent operations at 2026 Romanian market prices, bringing them in-house with a LAZIRON sheet and tube laser cutting machine reduces the effective cost per operation by 50-70%. At a typical monthly volume operated in-house instead of subcontracted, the investment is recovered in 18-30 months under current market conditions in Romania.

The additional margin comes from three directions: the saving compared to subcontracting, offering services to external local clients at market prices, and reducing delivery times to end clients by 40-60%, which allows premium prices on urgent orders or those with short deadlines.
