FAQs
Pipe and tube laser cutting is a manufacturing process that uses advanced laser technology to cut round, square and rectangular tubing as well as pipes.
Instead of relying on manual saws or mechanical tools, the laser produces a concentrated beam of light that melts or vaporises the material with extreme accuracy. This allows for clean, uniform edges and precise detailing that traditional cutting cannot achieve.
The process is widely used in industries that demand high standards of accuracy, from construction and engineering to transport and manufacturing.
Laser tube cutting can be applied to a wide range of materials and profiles. Stainless steel, aluminium and mild steel are all suitable, making the method flexible for many industries.
It handles CHS, RHS, SHS, Angle, Channel, PFC and custom-formed sections, as well as structural elements like beams, channels and extrusions. Because the process is computer-controlled, it can replicate the same cut across large batches of stock, no matter the shape, while maintaining tight tolerances.
Tube laser cutting equipment is capable of cutting wall thicknesses up to 12.5mm in mild steel, 12mm in stainless steel and 5mm in aluminium. These capacities make it possible to work with both lightweight tubing and heavy-duty structural sections. By accommodating different thicknesses, the process offers versatility across industries such as construction, agriculture, mining and product fabrication.
Tube laser cutting is used across many industries, including construction, engineering, transport, mining and manufacturing. It is especially valuable for projects that require complex joins, intricate cut-outs or precise holes in tubing and structural sections. From creating custom frames and enclosures to processing heavy-duty beams, tube laser cutting offers the flexibility to handle both simple and highly detailed designs.
Pipe and tube laser cutting provides several advantages compared to manual or mechanical cutting. It reduces production times by cutting and finishing in one operation, which limits the need for grinding or additional processing.
The high precision minimises material waste and enables designs with tight tolerances or intricate shapes that would be difficult to achieve otherwise. Laser cutting is also highly consistent, making it ideal for repeat jobs where every piece needs to match. Overall, it delivers cleaner cuts, faster turnaround and more cost-efficient outcomes than traditional cutting techniques.
