HSG TX3 PRO – High-Performance Tube Laser Cutting for Heavy-Duty Applications
HSG TX3 PRO is an advanced fiber laser cutting machine designed for efficient and precise processing of tubes with a wide range of diameters and heavy-duty steel profiles. With laser power options from 6 to 20 kW, a maximum tube diameter of 360 mm and a loading capacity of up to 1,600 kg, the TX3 PRO combines high productivity with exceptional flexibility and stability.
The machine is particularly well suited for demanding industrial applications, including steel structures, machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding, construction equipment and the energy sector. Its advanced ABB+ Full-Floating chuck system allows cutting operations to be adapted to different tube dimensions, material weights and production requirements.
ABB+ Full-Floating – Flexible Processing with Three Chucks
The HSG TX3 PRO features an advanced ABB+ Full-Floating system with three chucks, consisting of one barrel chuck and two through-hole chucks. This configuration provides flexible clamping and efficient processing of both smaller-diameter tubes and large, heavy-duty profiles.
The system supports four processing modes:
- Small-Tube Mode (3+0): Stable and precise processing of smaller-diameter tubes.
- Heavy-Tube Mode (2+1): Designed for large-diameter tubes and heavy-duty profiles.
- Zero-Tail Mode (0+2): Minimises remnant material and improves material utilisation.
- High-Efficiency Mode (2+0): Optimised for high productivity and shorter processing times.
The through-hole chuck design enables the processing of long workpieces and complex cutting operations with fewer setup changes.
With the optional Twin Chuck configuration, the processing range can be extended down to tube diameters of 20 mm, further increasing the machine’s versatility.
Higher Productivity and Faster Processing
The TX3 PRO is engineered for high processing speeds and efficient production.
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 delivers fast and accurate positioning.
According to HSG’s own tests, the TX3 PRO can achieve more than 30% higher cutting efficiency compared with the previous generation. This contributes to shorter processing times and increased production capacity.
Robust Construction for Heavy-Duty Processing
The machine features a heavy-duty, heat-treated machine bed with a low centre of gravity and an L-shaped side-mounted structure. This provides excellent stability and balanced load distribution, even when processing heavy workpieces.
The reinforced transmission system, equipped with 45 mm wide linear guides, is designed to ensure smooth and stable movement throughout the cutting process.
An integrated follow-up support system provides continuous material support during processing. The design eliminates the need for floor pits, simplifying installation, servicing and maintenance.
Efficient Processing of Long and Complex Profiles
The through-hole chuck configuration provides exceptional flexibility when processing long tubes and profiles.
By allowing the material to pass through the rear chuck, the machine can handle long workpieces and complex cutting operations without unnecessary repositioning.
This is particularly valuable in the manufacture of steel structures and other components involving long or irregular profiles.
Bevel cutting for applications such as weld preparation is available as an option.
Safe and Efficient Material Handling
When processing large and heavy tubes, safe material handling is an essential part of the production process.
The TX3 PRO features an unloading system with supporting structures and specially designed anti-roll grooves that prevent tubes from rolling during unloading. This contributes to safer and more stable handling of finished components.
The design simplifies operator tasks and can reduce the need for manual material handling.
