QH-6012GH Zero-Tailing Tube Laser Cutting Machine 3000W with Optional Water-Assisted Slag Removal

The QH-6012GH is a zero-tailing high speed tube laser cutting machine for thin to medium wall tube production. The zero tailing design cuts the last section of every stock length with minimal waste, while the 3000W laser source delivers fast cutting on small to medium diameter tube. Optional water-assisted slag removal keeps the bore and cut edge free of dross, so thin wall parts are ready to weld without grinding or edge dressing.

• Optional Zero Tailing Cutting - the final tail section is cut with minimal waste, improving yield on every stock length
• Optional Water-Assisted Slag Removal - a fine water flow flushes dross out of the tube bore, so thin wall tube stays clean inside
• 3000W Laser Source - fast cutting on 0.5-6mm wall carbon tube and 0.5-4mm stainless tube
• High Speed Cutting - 80m/min positioning and high acceleration shorten cycle time on small diameter tube
• Optional Bevel Cutting - weld-ready end profiles with clean bevel faces for downstream fit-up
• Other Optional Functions - head removable around chuck and weldseam identification are selectable

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.

Furniture tube, display racks, handrails and railing systems, bicycle and motorcycle frames, and thin wall tube batch production needing a clean bore.

Carbon steel tube, stainless steel tube, galvanized tube, aluminum tube and copper tube from 10mm to 120mm 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.
