HSG R2 PRO – High-Speed Tube Laser Cutting with Exceptional Precision

The HSG R2 PRO is a high-speed fiber laser cutting machine designed for efficient processing of small- and medium-diameter tubes and profiles. With laser power ranging from 3 to 6 kW, a cutting capacity of Ø12–240 mm and a maximum linkage speed of 150 m/min, the machine combines high productivity with advanced cutting technology.

The R2 PRO is developed for manufacturers demanding high processing speeds, dimensional accuracy and cost-efficient production. Featuring rapid chuck rotation, high acceleration and optional automated material handling, the machine is particularly suitable for repetitive production runs and processing a wide range of tube dimensions.

Typical applications include general engineering, furniture manufacturing, automotive components, machinery construction and other industrial applications where fast and accurate tube processing is essential.

High Machine Dynamics for Faster Production

The HSG R2 PRO is engineered for high processing speeds and short cycle times.

With a maximum linkage speed of 150 m/min, chuck rotation of up to 140 rpm and acceleration of 1.5 G, the machine delivers rapid positioning and efficient cutting performance.

Its advanced motion capabilities provide performance comparable to specialized small-tube cutting machines while maintaining the flexibility to process significantly larger tube dimensions.

According to HSG laboratory tests, processing efficiency can be improved by approximately 25%, helping manufacturers reduce cycle times and increase production capacity.

Dual-Scan – High Precision Even with Irregular Tube Geometries

Tubes and profiles do not always have perfectly consistent geometries. Dimensional variations can occur during rolling, forming or extrusion processes.

With the optional Dual-Scan dynamic correction system, the R2 PRO can continuously monitor the actual tube contour and automatically adjust the cutting path to match the material geometry.

This improves cutting accuracy when processing tubes with dimensional irregularities and reduces the risk of rejected components.

HSG specifies a processing accuracy of ±0.1 mm for extruded tubes and ±0.2 mm for irregular tubes. In the manufacturer’s tests, Dual-Scan increased the proportion of acceptable components from 70% to over 99%.

Bevel Cutting up to ±45°

The R2 PRO can be equipped with bevel cutting capabilities within a ±45° range.

This feature enables precise machining of tube ends and joint preparation for subsequent operations such as welding.

By performing bevel cuts directly in the laser cutting machine, the need for additional machining operations can be reduced, saving both time and labour.

Bevel cutting is available as an option.

Efficient Material Utilization with Short Remnant Cutting

Efficient material utilization is an important factor in reducing production costs when laser cutting tubes and profiles.

The R2 PRO can be equipped with short remnant cutting capabilities, allowing manufacturers to make better use of raw material.

Combined with optimized nesting algorithms, this helps minimize material waste and improve overall cost efficiency.

The feature is particularly valuable in repetitive production of shorter components, where unused tube remnants can otherwise represent a significant cost.

WindTech – Automated Tube Loading

For increased productivity, the R2 PRO can be equipped with HSG’s optional WindTech automated loading system.

The system enables efficient handling of multiple tubes and can be combined with functions designed to minimize material remnants.

WindTech supports round tubes with diameters from 20 to 220 mm, as well as square and rectangular profiles with side dimensions within the same range.

For the R2 PRO, the system handles tube lengths from 4,000 to 6,500 mm and a maximum single-tube weight of 300 kg.

Automated loading reduces manual material handling and contributes to a more consistent and efficient production flow.

Reinforced Chuck Design with Dual Anti-Burn Protection

The R2 PRO features a chuck design with dual protection against heat exposure.

A copper anti-burn structure is combined with a stainless steel dustproof protective cover.

This protects critical components against heat and particles generated during the cutting process, contributing to stable operation and extended service life.

The design can also reduce maintenance requirements compared with conventional chuck solutions.

Two Machine Versions for Different Tube Lengths

The HSG R2 PRO is available in two versions offering the same primary cutting performance but different material length capacities.

R2 PRO handles tube lengths from 1,000 to 6,500 mm and is designed for efficient processing of standard tube lengths.

R2-90 PRO features an extended working range for tube lengths from 1,000 to 9,000 mm, making it suitable for manufacturers processing longer tubes and profiles.

Both versions offer the same laser power range, cutting capacity and machine dynamics.
