QH-12024GH 12m 240mm Chuck 20000W Tube Laser Cutting Machine with Optional Water-Assisted Slag Removal

The QH-12024GH is a heavy duty tube laser cutting machine built for long and thick wall steel tube. A 12 metre loading length and 240mm large chuck handle full stock lengths without re-clamping, while the 20000W laser source cuts thick wall pipe at production speed. Optional water-assisted slag removal can be specified to flush molten dross out of the tube bore, so parts go from the machine to welding with minimal grinding.

• Optional Water-Assisted Slag Removal - a controlled water flow flushes molten dross out of the tube bore and off the kerf edge, keeping the inner wall clean
• 20000W Laser Source - high power output for thick wall steel tube, with stable beam quality under continuous duty
• 12m Loading Length - full stock lengths are processed in one setup, no re-clamping and no tail remachining
• 240mm Large Chuck - large bore chuck grips heavy and large diameter tube securely at high rotation speed
• Optional Zero Tailing Cutting - minimal tail waste improves material yield on expensive thick wall stock
• Other Optional Functions - bevel cutting, head removable around chuck and weldseam identification can be added to match production needs

Laser cutting of steel tube leaves molten dross that sticks to the inner wall of the tube and to the lower edge of the kerf. The water-assisted slag removal unit is an optional module: a controlled water flow is delivered along the tube bore and at the cut zone, quenching the molten dross and flushing it out of the tube before it can weld onto the inner surface. The result is a clean tube bore and a dross-free cut edge, so downstream welding, threading, coating and assembly need far less grinding and cleaning. Water is recovered and recirculated by the chiller circuit, so consumption stays low in continuous production.

Note: water-assisted slag removal, bevel cutting, zero tailing cutting, head removable around chuck and weldseam identification are all optional functions and can be selected independently according to the tube size, wall thickness and downstream process.

Construction machinery, steel structure, shipbuilding pipe frames, oil and gas pipe racks, heavy vehicle chassis, and thick wall tube processing where a clean bore reduces welding preparation.

Carbon steel tube, stainless steel tube, galvanized pipe, alloy steel tube and other metal tube from 20mm to 240mm diameter.

CE certified. 2 year machine warranty, laser source warranty up to 2 years, optional modules 1 year. Factory installation supervision, operator training and remote support available. MOQ 1 set.

All models below use the same optional water-assisted slag removal module, which flushes molten dross out of the tube bore so the inner wall and cut edge stay clean before welding, threading or coating. Loading length covers 6m to 12m and chuck range covers 120mm to 320mm.
