CNC Laser Cutting Metal Tube

Steel and Aluminium Tube Cutting Services

Hydram Sheet Metalwork provides a tube laser cutting service employing a dedicated tube cutting laser machine from BLM.  Hydram bought its first CNC tube laser machine in 2006 and a second in 2013 as its laser cut tube business became established.  Metal tube laser cutting services are just one provided by this large precision sheet metal fabrication company, including laser cutting sheet metal.

Laser cutting tube is a highly productive and flexible method of metal tube processing which is now finding applications in all industries.  Laser tube cutting machines are designed both to cut hole profiles and end profiles (mitres or cod mouths) on round, square, oval, triangular and other special section metal tubes.  Accurate laser profiling of highly complex shapes within the tube is possible.

Hydram regularly provides laser cut steel tube (mild and stainless steel) and aluminium tube laser cutting.

Tube laser cutting benefits

Tube laser cutting eliminates all traditional marking out, sawing, drilling, deburring and shaping operations carried out with conventional tube processing.  Traditional fixed costs of punches, clamps, tools and jigs are also eliminated.

The tube laser machines are CNC controlled and programmed offline by 3D CADCAM software.  With full automatic loading of tube raw material lengths up to 8.5 metres, automatic processing and automatic offload, the process is highly productive.
