QH-GZ Zero-tailing Laser Tube Cutting Machine Horizontally-mounted Lathe Semi-automatic Loading

Reduced Labor Intensity, Retained Flexibility: Fully manual loading of 6500mm×Φ500mm round tubes requires 2-3 operators due to weight; the QH-GZ’s semi-automatic system lets 1 operator handle loading (manual positioning is lightweight, auto clamping/feeding does heavy work). This cuts labor needs by 50% while keeping flexibility—operators can adjust tube placement for special-shaped tubes (e.g., slightly bent 5500mm square tubes) before triggering auto feeding, avoiding the rigidity of full automation.​

Semi-auto Loading Boosts Precision & Consistency: Manual loading often causes misalignment (±0.1-0.3mm) for long tubes, leading to cutting errors. The QH-GZ’s semi-automatic system uses built-in guides to auto-align tubes to the horizontal lathe axis after manual positioning, ensuring ±0.03mm X/Y positioning accuracy is maintained across every tube. For batches of 30+ 6000mm tubes, this reduces alignment-related scrap by 40% vs. fully manual machines.​

Fast Loading for Long Tubes, No Downtime Gaps: Semi-automatic loading streamlines the workflow for 5500-6500mm tubes: after cutting one tube, operators only need to position the next tube on the guide rails (30-45 secs) and trigger auto feeding (1.5-2 mins total per tube). This is 2x faster than manual loading (which takes 4-5 mins/tube) and eliminates long downtime between batches. For daily production of 80 6000mm tubes, this saves 3-4 hours, lifting throughput by 25%.​

Cost-Effective for Small-to-Medium Batches: Full-automatic loading systems require high upfront investment and are only cost-efficient for large batches (1000+ tubes/month). The QH-GZ’s semi-automatic design costs 30%-40% less while still solving manual loading pain points. For small-batch orders (50-200 tubes/month), it balances efficiency and cost—paired with zero-tailing cutting (reduces material waste by 15%), it further improves profitability for low-volume, high-precision tube processing.
