Laser Tube Cutting Service

SUDACNC operates dedicated 4-axis CNC fiber laser tube cutting production lines specialized for all metal tubular profiles. Our rotary chuck & servo follow-up support system delivers ±0.05mm repeatable precision for round, square, rectangular, oval and special extruded tubes. Complete all 3D tubular processing in one single setup: through holes, long slots, multi-angle miter bevels, coped intersecting joints and tab-slot press-fit assembly features. Equipped with automatic full-length tube loading and zero-tail cutting technology to maximize raw material utilization, compatible with carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum and brass tubular materials. All laser-cut tubes can be directly processed in-house via deburring, tube bending, welding and surface coating to deliver finished tubular frames without third-party outsourcing.

What Is CNC Fiber Laser Tube Cutting?


Laser tube cutting is a specialized 4-axis CNC fiber laser processing technology independently designed for hollow metal tubes and solid extruded profiles, different from flat sheet laser cutting. The machine is equipped with front/rear rotary chucks to clamp and rotate tubular workpieces synchronously with laser head movement, realizing full 360° circumferential cutting without repeated clamping.

Traditional tube processing requires separate saw cutting, drilling, milling and beveling on multiple machines, with low precision and high labor cost. Laser tube cutting integrates all procedures into one automatic operation, producing burr-minimal smooth edges with tiny heat-affected zones. Zero-tail cutting function minimizes leftover tube scrap, intelligent tube nesting optimizes material usage, ideal for manufacturing mechanical frames, equipment handrails, furniture tubular structures, automotive roll cages and architectural metal railing components from prototype small batches to mass production runs.

Laser Tube Cutting Frequently Asked Questions & Tube VS Flat Sheet Laser Cutting Comparison

Primary supported 3D tubular CAD files: STEP, IGES, SLDPRT; 2D vector DXF/DWG drawings with tube section profiles are also acceptable. Pure raster JPG/PNG images cannot be used for precision tube laser cutting production due to low dimensional accuracy and lack of 3D rotary processing data.

Laser tube cutting equips 4-axis rotary chuck & follow-up support system for 360° circumferential tube profiling, processing hollow tubular profiles with miter bevels and cross coped joints; flat sheet laser cutting only processes 2D flat plate blanks without rotary tube clamping function, unable to complete full tubular 3D intersecting joint cutting in one setup.

Yes, all laser cut tubular components can flow in-house to CNC tube bending, punching, TIG/MIG welding, sand blasting, powder coating and final hardware assembly as full turnkey tubular fabrication service without outsourcing external third-party metalworking vendors.

Simple single round tube small batches with standard holes: 2–3 working days; complex square/rectangular tube with multi-angle coped intersecting joints + nitrogen smooth cutting: 3–6 days; long 6-meter full automatic feeding tube batches with full deburring surface finishing: 5–8 working days including full dimensional inspection.
