HSG TL3 PRO – High-Efficiency Tube Laser Cutting with Advanced 4+1 Chuck System
The HSG TL3 PRO is a high-performance fiber laser cutting machine designed for efficient processing of both small- and large-diameter tubes and heavy-duty steel profiles. With laser power options ranging from 6 to 20 kW, a processing range of Ø20–360 mm and a maximum tube weight of 1,600 kg, the machine combines high capacity with flexibility and precision.
The advanced Full-Floating 4+1 chuck system enables simultaneous cutting and material handling, reducing idle time and increasing productivity. The TL3 PRO is particularly suitable for manufacturers processing a wide variety of tube dimensions, recurring production batches and applications requiring high efficiency.
The machine is well suited for steel construction, machinery manufacturing, the automotive industry, shipbuilding and other industrial applications where capacity and flexibility are essential.
Full-Floating 4+1 – Intelligent Chuck System for Flexible Production
The HSG TL3 PRO features an advanced Full-Floating system with four coordinated chucks and an extended 4+1 configuration. The system combines flexible clamping and material support to accommodate a wide range of tube dimensions and workpiece weights.
The chucks automatically adapt to different processing conditions, ensuring stable handling of both small- and large-diameter tubes. The configuration also enables cutting operations with minimal material remnants.
This flexible chuck technology makes the TL3 PRO particularly suitable for production environments with varying tube dimensions and batch sizes.
Simultaneous Cutting and Material Handling
One of the key advantages of the TL3 PRO is its ability to perform multiple operations simultaneously.
Instead of following a conventional sequential process of loading, cutting and unloading, the machine can handle material while cutting is in progress.
New tubes can be prepared for processing while finished components are unloaded, significantly reducing waiting times between production cycles.
According to HSG’s own tests, this parallel material handling system can improve loading efficiency by more than 25%.
High Cutting Speeds and Increased Productivity
The TL3 PRO combines high machine dynamics with advanced control technology for efficient tube processing.
With a maximum simultaneous motion speed of 100 m/min, chuck rotation speeds of up to 80 rpm and acceleration of 1.0 G, the machine provides fast and precise positioning.
Combined with HSG’s improved control algorithms, these capabilities contribute to shorter processing times.
According to the manufacturer’s laboratory tests, the TL3 PRO achieves up to 35.45% higher cutting efficiency compared with the previous generation.
Robust Construction for Heavy-Duty Applications
The machine’s heavy-duty construction is designed to ensure stable processing of large and heavy tubes and profiles.
Its high-rigidity, stress-relief annealed machine bed features a low centre of gravity, providing excellent stability throughout the cutting process.
A reinforced transmission system with dual guide rails, heavy-duty linear guides and rack-and-pinion drive ensures smooth and precise movement, even under high loads.
The robust construction enables safe handling of workpieces weighing up to 1,600 kg.
Safe Material Handling with Nine Follow-Up Supports
The TL3 PRO features an integrated support system with four follow-up supports on the loading side and five on the unloading side.
These supports follow the workpiece throughout processing, providing stable handling of long and heavy tubes.
The low centre of gravity and receiving-style unloading system help prevent tubes from rolling during unloading.
This contributes to improved workplace safety, reduced manual handling and more efficient production.
Lower Production Costs Through Improved Workflow Efficiency
By combining high cutting speeds, simultaneous material handling and flexible processing capabilities, the TL3 PRO can contribute to lower overall production costs.
HSG presents a calculation example demonstrating an approximately 35% reduction in total production costs compared with a conventional tube cutting machine.
The calculation is based on processing 12-metre-long square tubes measuring 200 × 200 × 5 mm, with a production volume of 70 tubes per day and 300 working days per year.
Actual savings depend on material specifications, production volumes, machine configuration and operating conditions.
